    Roku devices are linked to Roku accounts.

    If you use the same email address when setting up a second Roku device as your first Roku device, then they will be "linked" to the same Roku account.  (your email address is your Roku account). 

    The channels/apps/subscriptions available on one device will be available on the other.   If you add or remove a channel/app/subscription on one device, it will add or remove on the second device.  The only thing that does not carry over is the actual layout.  You will have to rearrange the channel/app layout yourself on the second Roku device.

    The above is assuming all added devices are in same country.  Can't just move one of the devices to the UK or China and have the same access to the channels/apps as the US based device you left at home.

    I hate to tell you, but I do not think you can do that.

      This seems like a natural thing to be able to do.  My cell phones are able to migrate or clone to a new phone.  Looks like a missing feature.  Thank you for your response.  I hope Roku reads this. :)

    PenguinPuck Roku does not use apps. It uses channels. When setting up any new Roku all the channels you had will come over to the new one when you log into your Roku account. Any settings will have to be reset cause those do not migrate over. Same with login information.

    No!  And it is very annoying that you have to separately maintain the icon arrangements and login passwords separately on all your devices, yet you are forced to have the same apps installed on all devices.  Oh well

    I like the idea of an option to clone your other devices on the same account.
    I vote YES! to Clone Settings.
