Getting Started - Setup & How-to

[xparrot]

I am new to multiple Rokus. We are moving into new house and I have purchased Rokus for each room. When setting them up I understand that I can have them all connect to a single account or I can create individual accounts for each?

I need clarification. If I have all the Rokus connected to ONE account, can we watch TV in separate rooms at the same time? Or by having one account, only one can be viewed at a time.

Hey @xparrot

Thanks for the post.

Even your Roku devices are connected to a single account, you can still view or watch different channels/contents at the same time. The purpose of linking them to just one account is to make sure that you won't be double-billed for any subscription that you will sign up for. 

If you need help linking your Roku to your email, you can visit this Support article: How do I activate or link my Roku® streaming device?

I hope this helps.

All the best,
Kariza

Okay, so I should set them all up to connect to the same account then. That way my saved shows will be on each Roku.

Each device gets its own stream so they can view the same or different material, but some paid subscription accounts have a limit on how many simultaneous devices they will stream to at one time.  

The standard Netflix HD subscription, for instance, supports two streams at a time, but their Ultra HD subscription supports four.
