How to Add Channels to your Roku Streaming Device

Just like your smartphone accesses an โ€œapp storeโ€ to add new applications, your Roku streaming player or Roku TVโ„ขย accesses theย Roku Channel Storeย to add newย channels. Some channels require a paid subscription or a one-time charge, while many others are free. Browse theย Roku Channel Storeย directly from your Roku device, or by visitingย channelstore.roku.com. Channels can also be added when using the Roku mobile app on a compatible mobile device.

  • Note: When you add a channel to your Roku device, you are actually adding it to your Roku account. As a result, the channel will automatically be added to all Roku devices linked to your Roku account. When you remove a channel, the same is true. It will be removed from all Roku devices linked to your Roku account.
