How to connect CBS.com account to Roku

I have account at CBS.com. I'm suppose to be able to connect web site account to Roku device. There are only 5 spaces to enter.

Where do I find the number on my Roku device to enter on the CBS.com account?

Thank you

Kathy Battershell

    CBS requires you to have a subscription to a "TV Provider" account through which you can view CBS programming.  This can be a tv or satellite account or any streaming service that provides access to your local CBS broadcast station

    From within the CBS app on your Roku:

    If you see a menu down left side of the screen:

    • Click LEFT to go to menu
    • Clock SIGN OUT at bottom of menu and confirm

    Now:

    • Click SIGN IN WITH TV PROVIDER
    • Follow on screen instructions to log into cbs.com/tv/roku using web browser on computer, phone, or tablet.
    • On the cbs.com/tv/roku page, enter the Activation code shown on your Roku screen.
    • Choose your "TV Provider" account.
    • Enter your login credentials for that TV Provider account.

      I found where to enter the code but my cable provider does not show up on the list provided. What do I do next?
