Welcome to the Roku Community Support platform,&nbsp;F1wade!
We'd be more than happy to help you with anything and it would be appreciated if you could provide us with additional information regarding your concern.
Kindly let us know the following:

Did you recently activate this affected Roku device?
Where are you currently located?
Could you share with us a photo of what you see on your screen when you attempt to search for available apps? (How do I insert an image in a post)

We'll be looking forward to your response.

I'm in UK and recently purchased a roku.

I saw a post by the same name and thought I was replying to it.

I'd like to search for movies and series but only free to me, or on my currently logged in apps?

Is this possible?

Thanks for the quick response,&nbsp;F1wade!
Consider exploring&nbsp;The Roku Channel&nbsp;to discover a variety of available free content. Furthermore, you may also try to check our official channel store website to help you learn more about the free channels available in your current location.
Here's the link: Roku Channel Store | UK
Furthermore, Roku devices will work in any location. However, certain channels may not be available on your device in that location based on each channel provider's discretion.&nbsp;
We hope you find this information helpful.
Best regards,Carly

Thanks for quick response RokuCarly.But that doesn't help with my question at all.&nbsp;&nbsp;When you search it shows all tv and film from all apps/channels.&nbsp;&nbsp;But I want to filter out paid ones, except the ones I am not subscribed to.&nbsp;Can this be done?&nbsp;

Hi,&nbsp;F1wade.
My sincerest apologies for the confusion. If you are unable to add/install your paid apps directly on your Home screen, I suggest installing this via the Roku Channel Store website.
Here are the steps to help you How to add apps on your Roku streaming device:

Go to&nbsp;channelstore.roku.com
Sign in to&nbsp;your Roku account
Browse the categories and genres, or search to find a specific app and&nbsp;select Details&nbsp;to learn more about an app
Select&nbsp;Add channel&nbsp;to install the app on your Roku device

If the app does not appear on your Roku device, go to your Roku device and select&nbsp;Settings &gt; System &gt; System update &gt; Check now.
Furthermore, it may be possible that you will still be unable to install these apps on your channel lineup (Home screen) as only limited apps are available on the Roku streaming platform in the UK.&nbsp;
Regards,Carly
