To clarify:
As part of the set up process for your new Roku, you can either create a new Roku account for it, or you can link it to your existing account. In nearly all cases, it is best to link to your existing account. By doing this:
- All your channel apps are tied to this existing account. All Rokus linked to this same account will automatically get the same list of channel apps. Add/remove on one, you add/remove on all.
- Any choices and settings you've made in your Roku account (PIN number, payment method, etc.) will apply.
- Premium subscriptions you have made THROUGH ROKU will apply.
What won't automatically apply:
- Premium subscriptions you have directly with the channel provider will not know about your new Roku. You'll have get them authorized on the new Roku.
- Channels you receive by authenticating with a "tv provider" (cable, satellite, etc.) subscription that carries them will generally need to be authenticated on the new Roku.
- Order of channels in the Roku home page channel grid. Channels are synchronized over the Roku account, channel order is not.
- Device-specific Roku settings (closed caption, etc.) are set on each individual unit.
