Signing in to a free channel

Jump to solution

I'm trying to watch RFD channel.  I have to sign in or create an account.  I've tried both.  It's so frustrating to put in my email address one letter and number at a time and then it doesn't work.  I've tried it several time.  If it's a free channel included with my spectrum subscription, I just want to watch it without signing in.   Why so hard!!!!

Thanks for the post.

For more information about that channel's features and functionality, you'll want to contact the channel provider support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves. 

 

Thanks,

@winter8784-

Might you be entering your Roku credentials instead of your Spectrum ones?

Do you mean this channel? (This is the only one I find when I search for RFD.)

That channel says “SERVICE MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FEES” which is usually on channels that require subscriptions directly with them.  On the other hand, channels that say: “CABLE OR SATELLITE SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED” are the ones you can get free if you already have them on your cable plan.

So, this specific channel/app may not have a way to connect to an existing cable account.
