@cb73A bit confused by your post..Are you using a Roku device and if so, what model and type of connection (WiFi or wired). The Roku channel is for people who OWN a Roku player 🙂

The free content from The Roku Channel is streamable via web browsers via therokuchannel.com. They have also made a Roku Channel app available on recent Samsung and Fire smart TVs. No Roku device or even a Roku account is required. Roku shares in the advertising revenue from the hundreds of included ad-supported channels.
Premium subscriptions obtained through Roku and viewed through The Roku Channel DO require viewing on a Roku player.

Re: Trying to stream free Roku Channel on Mac computer, have sound but no picture...help?
Hello,
I'm having the same issue. I'm logged into my Roku account on rokuchannel.com. I'm trying to watch a show that I paid fro through the Roku Premium service subcribtion. When I try to play the episode I can hear audio but there is no picture. I'm on a Macbook using Google Chrome as my browser. Can you please find a solution to this? I would like to watch my shows from my computer when I'm not near my RokuTV.
