Can I watch channels on my computer?

Jump to solution

Can I watch, ON MY COMPUTER, CNBC and other news shows?  How...step by step?

I went to TheRokuChannel.com and it seemed that only movies/doumentaries/etc. were available.

Thx in advance for your help.  I just found out that my Roku Express + doesn't qualify for ROKU online agent customer support.

@ggcole11 

Thanks for the inquiry.

Please be aware that the channels and features available on a Roku device will not be the same as watching content on a computer. On a computer. you will be able to access The Roku Channel with your Roku account at therokuchannel.roku.com - Other channels and services would need to be accessed directly through those channels/services own online offerings.

I know. I have the same problem. Why sell a product they don't support. ROKU support sucks. Worst support ever. Don't have much faith in their product.

@pilots48 You have what same problem?  If you want CNBC just go to CNBC on your computer and create a free account.  If you really want help please identify the problem.
