- Your channel accounts are attached to your Roku account, not to individual Roku units. As long as you link your new Roku to your existing Roku account, it should automatically download all the channel apps attached to that account.

And how do you link them? I have accounts that I’m paying for but I can’t get access to them from my Roku tv it was owned by my daughter before me and she doesn’t remember the pin??
Nene1972, it's not clear what you're asking. If you want to link a Roku device to your own Roku account you'll have to factory reset the Roku device.
