I found a network I wanted "UNIVISION" and can get a list of shows.  However whatever show I pick then generates screen with 7 character (alpha/numberic) code I'm supposed to do what with?  Where do I go on the TV screen/my Roku account/cable to enter this code to continue?  Anybody know?

There are two Univision apps in the Roku Channel Store for USA.

Univision requires authentication against a TV provider. That is, you must have a subscription to a service (cable, satellite, streaming) that includes Univision.

Univision Now seems to be a standalone service, similar to Starz, Showtime, etc. You subscribe to the service and enter your credentials.

So, which app are you using? Or are you using something completely different?

I installed both Univision for testing. (Ultra 4660x, United States) 

Univision did not ask me for any codes and played content normally under both "Explore" and "Shows".  I do not have any cable or satellite subscriptions so not exactly sure why description mentions that cable or satellite is required, unless provides users to additional content.

However, from this website (https://sycamorenet.com/streaming/activate-univision-tv/), indicates you have to activate your subscription between Univision and Roku.  (Looks like you have to go to https://tv.univision.com/devicereg on a laptop to complete activation with a TV provider.

6. Click OK.
7. To install the application, click Add Channel.
8. Launch the app after it has been installed.
9. After you’ve opened the channel, go to the settings page and click SIGN IN.

11. Stay on the page and use your phone or computer to go to tv.univision.com/devicereg.
