Channel Issues & Questions

[rtrgoo]

I use a desktop computer to access ROKU> I want to add RUMBLE TV or any other channel. the home page asks for a CODE associated with the channel to add. where do I find that code? is there a third party list of channels with codes for adding them to ROKU? without a code an error appears, "no device detected". does this mean that channels CANNOT be added because computers are not recognized as an appropriate device? I have a SMART TV with roku. I cannot use it because I do NOT have a player nor do I need one since I am using the desktop. details please. reeltoreelguy@gmail.com OR rtrg@mail.com.

Is your Smart TV with Roku (AKA a Roku TV) linked to your roku account?  If so, when you add the channel in the channel store, it should appear on your TV.  (But not on a PC.)

yes. when I add rumble to the list it does NOT appear on your all channels list nor is there any indication it was added. I access ROKU via a web browser. I do NOT have a stick or player. my connection is wifi NOT wired. does this explain it? can RUMBLE or any of your channels on your list page be accessed via browser? I do that for PLUTO and TUBI now. I will try that for YOUTUBE TV as well. respond please.

Roku channels are for Roku devices.  However, many of the services that provide Roku channels also provide apps for other streaming devices, and/or direct streaming on PCs, and/or conventional TV channels.  It all depends on the service.  There is also the Roku channel which may be confusing you, because it is one of many channels on a Roku device and it also happens to be accessible on the web.

How do you find a Channel on Rumble? How do you log in? It looks very basic.
