How are you trying to watch TRC? On a laptop? A TV with apps? Some other player?
Your Roku user account by itself does not provide access to TRC. If you're using a device with a browser (computer, tablet, phone, smart TV or other streaming device) yon can simply go to their website (https://therokuchannel.roku.com/) to watch it. If you are using a device without a browser (most TVs), you probably need a streaming device that has an app for TRC. Samsung TVs have an app, but most TVs don't. Roku does have an app for Android based players (such as the Nvidia Shield) so it can be added there as well. But the simplest way to watch TRC is with a Roku device (TV or player).
Hello,
Thanks a lot for your prompt response.
I created a Roku Account on my Windows (Microsoft Surface Pro) laptop.
I'm connected to my home Wifi, and I use a Chrome Browser.
I get to this screen after searching and finding this free TV show (see below), but I'm unable to launch/stream. There's a link to "Add Roku Channel".
