Channels & viewing

I just purchased PBS Masterpiece through Amazon Prime.  How can I get the channel to show up on my Roku so that I can see all of its offerings?  Right now, it is not listed on Roku's channel store.

You subscribed through Amazon Prime.  I suspect you'll find it within Prime Video.

what does this post mean? How does it help with missing Prime and Netflix?

You may have responded to the wrong thread. This thread has nothing to do with Netflix. It's about using PBS Masterpiece on Roku (the title) and the user has subscribed through Amazon.

You may want to find the original post you were trying to find information about and post there.

I too subscribed to PBS through Prime. I can see PBS offerings on the Prime channel, mixed into other prime offerings. I would like to browse just PBS on the roku PBS channel. On my TV, I  added the PBS channel from the roku home page however the PBS channel askes me to subscribe to see more than first episodes of most offerings. My question is: Is there a proceedure / steps to get the ROKU/PBS channel to recongnize that  I have a Prime PBS account?  There seems to be steps for the "device to activate" channels  with a code, but They don't seem to work in this instance.

@Shpongle, sorry, but unless PBS has some way to allow you to use a Prime subscription on the PBS channel/app it's not possible.  In general, when you subscribe to something through some third party there are some significant limitations attached.  It's always better, when possible, to subscribe directly with the provider.
