Is your Roku used?  It might already think it's on some account and might need a factory reset? Usually I start at the Roku, and only after it either gives me a link code or asks for my email address, then I move to a computer.

no, its brand new .

its working , but i never finished anything after the question i got stuck on .

im thinking i know nothing about what im missing .

I could be signed up for anything !

a big company like Roku should never close their phone support ,

lots of business figure out a way to do things in the pandemic .

let me have the high paid position that is in charge of phone support service and it will be open in 2 or 3 days .

i got 3 words for that person , work from home .

get it together

Just to make sure, I suggest you go to

Settings->system->about

And make sure the email listed at the top of that page is your Roku account. 

As for signed up for anything, your account (online) should list any subscriptions you have.

Thanks for the post.

We would recommend trying to perform a factory reset on your Roku device and trying to setup your Roku device again to see if you can get an activation code. 

For more information about how to perform a factory reset, visit our Support page here: How do I factory reset my Roku® streaming device?

Please keep us posted what you find out.

Thanks,
