Features, settings & updates

Thinking of ordering a second streaming device using the same account, will downloaded apps transfer to new device or will apps need to be downloaded separately for new TV units.

Thanks all for your assistance.

If you use the same account, the apps should automatically download on your new device.

Your channel apps are attched to your Roku account, so each Roku linked to that same Roku account will receive the same channel apps.  Theafter, add or remove on one, you add/remove on all.

Exception, older legacy models that cannot play some of the new apps will only get those apps they CAN run.

If you have any paid subscriptions through Roku you should be able to go to them directly on the new Roku.  Subscriptions not paid through Roku may or may not require you to log into them separately.  Similarly, some apps requiring authentication againt a "tv provider" account may or may not require you to log in again.  In either case, if you need to log in, be sure you use the user name and password as you are known on that service.
