    Each device gets its own stream so they can view the same or different material, but some paid subscription accounts have a limit on how many simultaneous devices they will stream to at one time.  

    The standard Netflix HD subscription, for instance, supports two streams at a time, but their Ultra HD subscription supports four.

Hey xparrot

Thanks for the post.

Even your Roku devices are connected to a single account, you can still view or watch different channels/contents at the same time. The purpose of linking them to just one account is to make sure that you won't be double-billed for any subscription that you will sign up for. 

If you need help linking your Roku to your email, you can visit this Support article: How do I activate or link my Roku® streaming device?

I hope this helps.

All the best,
Kariza

    Okay, so I should set them all up to connect to the same account then. That way my saved shows will be on each Roku.

        This is contradictory to another posts answer regarding having multiple devices connected to one account. Apparently because I have multiple devices linked to one account is the reason why my channels keep magically disappearing every time I add them back (removed from Home Screen). I don’t even need to turn off the tv for the channels to magically disappear. If it was one or two channels maybe I’d buy that but it’s pretty much everything except the Roku channel every time.
