    Get two stand alone streamers like Roku Express, Premiere, and Ultra. Or if you prefer a stick, get the Roku Stick +.

    purek Hi there! You'll need a Roku device connected to any TV that you are wanting to access content via Roku on. Alternately, you could also move your Roku device between the TVs in your house. See more here: https://www.roku.com/how-it-works

     

    Thanks,

    Tanner

    I currently have Roku for the two tv,s in my house. I am going to rent an apartment and want to access the Roku streaming channels on the tv that comes with the apartment. Is this possible and what do I need to do to make that happen.

      Roku devices have something called Guest Mode that should provide what you're looking for. See this support page for detailed information about using Guest Mode.

      I believe your tenant would be on your acct and possible your Wi-Fi ( depending on your set up)

      yes you could give them access 

      I have 7 TVs between 2 locations but remember some apps are restrictive to how many set can be viewing their content at one time.

      the real question is Are you OK sharing your email address with your tenants?

        That's not the way guest Mode works. Yes, the Roku is connected to their network. But the guest has no access to their WiFi password or their Roku account information, such as their email address. The Roku appears to the guest as a brand new Roku that isn't logged into anything other than the network.

        The guest would log into the desired content (for example Prime Video or Netflix) using their own personal credentials, not the Roku owner's. When the guest checks out, their login credentials are deleted from the device. There is not account information exchanging between the owner and the guest.
