    Hi nh971971,

    A warm welcome to the Roku Community!

    We understand your concern about setting up a new Roku device and want the same setup as the previous one.

    Please be aware that each time you add an additional Roku streaming player or Roku TV, you need to set up the new device and link it to a Roku account. If you use your existing Roku account, any apps that you have added to a Roku device already linked to your account are downloaded and installed on the new device automatically.

    Note: When an app doesn't support Automatic Account Link, you may be required to enter your username and password on the new Roku device.

    For more detailed information, visit our official support article on how to set up or sync subscription channels in your account on a second Roku streaming device.

    If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know.

    All the best,
    Chel

    Your channel app selections are tied to your Roku account, not to individual Roku units.

    During initial setup, link the new Roku to your existing Roku account, as indicated by email address.  If in doubt, on your current Roku go to Settings > System > About and note the email address shown.

    The new Roku, once set up and linked, will install all the channel apps for that account.  On some of the ones with logins you may not log in again on the new Roku.
