How to connect CBS.com account to Roku

I have account at CBS.com. I'm suppose to be able to connect web site account to Roku device. There are only 5 spaces to enter.

Where do I find the number on my Roku device to enter on the CBS.com account?

Thank you

Kathy Battershell

Re: How to connect CBS.com account to Roku

CBS requires you to have a subscription to a "TV Provider" account through which you can view CBS programming.  This can be a tv or satellite account or any streaming service that provides access to your local CBS broadcast station

From within the CBS app on your Roku:

If you see a menu down left side of the screen:

  • Click LEFT to go to menu
  • Clock SIGN OUT at bottom of menu and confirm

Now:

  • Click SIGN IN WITH TV PROVIDER
  • Follow on screen instructions to log into cbs.com/tv/roku using web browser on computer, phone, or tablet.
  • On the cbs.com/tv/roku page, enter the Activation code shown on your Roku screen.
  • Choose your "TV Provider" account.
  • Enter your login credentials for that TV Provider account.
