What is streaming?
Streaming is viewing or listening to video or audio content that is sent over the Internet, or located on a
network-connected media server or on a USB device plugged into your TV’s USB port.
With streaming, you can by or rent most programs on demand, when it’s convenient for you. When streaming, you can
play, pause, rewind, and fast forward whatever you are watching. You can also replay the last few seconds again, or turn
on closed captions.
Your TV lets you choose from thousands of streaming channels that offer a huge selection of entertainment:
• Thousands of movies and TV episodes
• Unlimited music, live and on-demand
• Tons of live and on-demand sports
• Commercial-free kids programming
• International programming in 22 languages
• 24x7 news and in-depth news commentary
Many streaming channels are free. Some streaming channels, like Cineplex and Amazon Instant Video, let you purchase
or rent the latest movie releases or popular TV series. Some channels such as Netflix or Spotify charge a monthly
subscription fee and others are free if you subscribe to a companion service through your cable or satellite provider. For
example, HBO subscribers with participating broadcast TV provider accounts can add the HBO Go channel and watch it
for free.
If you have an existing subscription to a service like Netflix or Spotify, you can just sign in with your existing user name
and password.
To play streaming content that is available on the Internet, you add streaming channels to your Home screen. To add a
streaming channel to your Home screen, use the Streaming Channels option on the Home screen menu to go to the
Roku Channel Store, and then select the streaming channel you want to add. The streaming channel is then added to
your Home screen, and you can watch it at any time.
For more information on using the Roku Channel Store feature, see Using the Roku Channel Store on page 54.
But what if I didn’t connect my TV?
What if you went through Guided Setup and chose Connect to the Internet later? No worries. Your TV makes it easy to
connect whenever you want. As you move around the Home screen, you’ll see several places where you can start the
connection process. For example:
• Now and then you'll see a message appear on the panel to the right of the Home screen offering a Connect Now
option. Simply highlight and select the Connect Now option to get started.
•Use the Connect and activate now option in the Settings menu. From the Home screen menu, select Settings,
Network, and then Connect and activate now.
• If you want to start over from the beginning, use the Settings menu to do a Factory reset, and then go through
Guided Setup again. This time, choose your home network when prompted.
Regardless of how you connect, the process is the same. If you need details, see Step 3 on page 32 under Setting up
your TV.
Tip
Some content cannot be paused or skipped. For example, if you are viewing live
programming or a program that is supported by ads, you generally are not allowed
to skip the ads.
Note
A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels. Channel
availability is subject to change and varies by country. Not all content is available in
