cb73A bit confused by your post..Are you using a Roku device and if so, what model and type of connection (WiFi or wired). The Roku channel is for people who OWN a Roku player 🙂

The free content from The Roku Channel is streamable via web browsers via therokuchannel.com.  They have also made a Roku Channel app available on recent Samsung and Fire smart TVs.  No Roku device or even a Roku account is required.   Roku shares in the advertising revenue from the hundreds of included ad-supported channels.

Premium subscriptions obtained through Roku and viewed through The Roku Channel DO require viewing on a Roku player.
