I did a search but did not find an answer. How does it work with regard to channels? Do they mirror each other with regard to channels? Or is it like my (multiple) Android phones with the Google Play store, where when I add an app I can select which phone/s I want it to install on?
Thanks

This question has 2 parts to consider: 1) Your Roku account/devices. and 2) The streaming channel service(s)/account(s) you are trying to use on multiple devices.
For 1) - Yes, you can certainly use any/all Roku devices linked to an account at the same time. We have no limitations.
For 2) - This depends on the streaming service(s). Some services limit the number of devices that can be used with one account at one time. e.g. Netflix for instance has limitations on the number of active devices that can stream at the same time on one account, regardless of whether it is a Roku or any other device used to access the service. This type of limitation often depends on the plan you have subscribed to, or the provider's individual policies.
For 2), you'll need to contact any specific streaming channel provider directly to inquire as to whether or not they have device limitations for simultaneous usage. They will be able to clarify any limitations that they currently have.
Hope that helps clarify things!
Thanks,

Okay, so you can have 2 boxes and one account. Can your household be watching 2 different programs at the same time? Even if they are both are watching the same channel, say Netflix.

Can I have an additional ROKU even if it's on a separate internet connection? For example, can I use my ROKU account at my house and have another ROKU at my parent's house but all on one ROKU account?
