The Roku Channel on Website using Laptop

I have a smart TV with Roku and a not so smart TV with the little Roku box mounted on top.  The older of the two, the one with the box, died.  Well it only half way died.  I get audio but no video.  I want to access Roku on my laptop but don't have a clue where to start.  When I try to access Roku on line to find out how I am taken to Amazon to purchase new Roku remotes etc.  Can anyone direct me where to go?  Thanks in advance

    As mentioned, The Roku Channel is available as a website, in addition to being a channel/app on all Roku devices and some other brands of streaming players/smart TVs. But anything else that is available on a Roku requires a Roku device to view. That said, many service providers available on Roku (Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, etc.) are also available on their own dedicated web sites. 

    But accessing your Roku player on a laptop cannot be done.
