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 the TV’s USB port.
With streaming, you can buy or rent most programs on demand, when it’s convenient for you. When
streaming, you can play, pause, rewind, and fast forward most of what you are watching. You can also
replay the last few seconds again, or turn on closed captions.
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.
Your Roku 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 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 available at no additional cost 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 at no additional
cost.
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.
Available only on Roku mobile app for IOS® and Android™. This feature works with streaming content only. It is not available
