Accounts, Billing, & Orders

[Lathe]

I gave a Roku to a family member for Christmas and installed it for them.  When I installed it, I put it under my Roku account so that the email/etc for Netflix would match the email for the Roku account.  

Should I reregister the roku and open a roku account for them even though they are sharing my Netflix?

Yes.  Do a factory reset and set their Roku up as new with their own Roku account tied to their own email.  They can then have their own selection of channels separate from yours and there will be no issue with them making purchases that get charged to your account.

They can still use your Netflix account credentials to connect to your Netflix account.
