Purchasing MLB.TV subscription from Roku vs MLB.

When purchasing an MLB subscription from Roku, can you login on another brand of device (FireTV, etc.) using the MLB app? 

Or is watching MLB restricted to Roku devices?

      I kind of figured. It sucks. What's the point?

        "What's the point?"

        If you purchase your subscriptions through Roku, then all your subscriptions are managed in one place (your Roku account) and available to all your Roku devices.   This would be primarily for convenience and for people that only watch on their Rokus.

        For people that have different Streaming devices or need to watch elsewhere than their home (even though more of these Subscriptions can be watched through the Roku Channel now), then subscribing directly to the Provider is recommended.
