Roku setup

[ToMarc]

I am unable to enter my email address into the ROKU activation screen portion. I do not have a smart TV; therefore this TV or remote doesn't have the capability to enter any letters to complete this. I am logged in on the ROKU website though. This was purchased for an elderly relative to enjoy. No question that they cannot afford to buy a new TV. Any suggestions for this. Thanks

Anything you did with a TV remote wouldn't effect it anyway.  You enter your email address using the Roku remote.  Use the selection keys to move around the on-screen keyboard.

I reset using the paper clip. It returned me to the email screen but still won’t allow me to enter my email address.

I’ve tried pressing the buttons dozens of times. It doesn’t work.

Thanks for the post.

Can you please provide more information about the issue you are experiencing? What Roku model device are you using? Have you tried pressing the directional buttons or the OK button on our remote to see if it will prompt you with the keyboard to enter your email address? Have you tried replacing the batteries in your remote?

With more information we will be able to assist you further.

Thanks,
Danny

I need to put my e-mail address on the screen so I can get a Roku activation link to start streaming. And my remote won't let me go anywhere other then that page.

Thanks for the post.

Have you tried pressing the directional buttons or the OK button to see if the keyboard is prompted for you to enter your email address? 

Please keep us posted.

I am having the same problem.  No keyboard is popping up onscreen for me to use the Roku remote to enter my e-mail address.  Only difference is I am trying to activate my Roku ULTRA.  What to do?!

Thanks for the post.

As stated in my previous post, have you tried pressing the OK button on your remote? Customers have all reported that pressing the OK brought up the keyboard for them during the activation process.

Please keep us posted.

Thanks,
Danny

I am installing at the moment and have, or had, the same problem. After trying everything I could think of I looked for the problem online and came upon this thread. When I went back to my TV the problem had solved itself! Hitting enter took me to a data entry screen and in no time I received an email from Roku and was able to complete setup.
