Roku Device Features, Settings & Updates

[sailaja007]

I had a Roku TV earlier when i had created the Roku account and i had installed few applications like Netflix and Youtube during that time. It allowed me and gave me the option to add/install new application. Now i have a regular smart TV and I bought a Roku express to stream applications. But I am not getting any option to Install New Application(like HBO) in the TV using Roku express. Please help.

Thanks in Advance!

It's not clear what you're asking.  You can find channels to install under Streaming Channels on the home screen or at https://channelstore.roku.com/browse

You install the channels to the Roku, not the tv.

Set your tv to display the HDMI port to which you have connected the Roku.  Use your Roku remote to view the Streaming channels available from the left hand column.

If you have not already installed your Roku, you need to do this first.  If you need help with this, here's an instructional video from Roku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz5f4rkQ7Bw

I would like to clarify that i have already done the roku set up in TV using roku express device, logged in with my roku ID. I would like to stream HBO Now, Hulu, amazon prime videos and other applications. But i do not find the applications in the "Streaming Channels" options in Roku TV. Neither i find the option to add them. But i do have netflix and youtube which i had added 4 years back when i had created my roku account. During that time, i remember it allowed me to add and install new applications. But now i do not see any options to add them.

Please Help. Thanks in advance!

Where are you located?

[sailaja007]

@renojim is this issue related to where i am located

[renojim]

If you're not located in the U.S. then there's a good chance that's your problem.  Not all channels are available in all regions.

Are you connecting via a VPN that is masking your US location?

Was your Roku account set up while in a non-US location, and/or while using a VPN that made it look like you were elsewhere?
