Roku setup

[Pookie9317]

We just bought a new roku tv and I cannot activate my tv because it will not acknowledge my email. I already have a Roku account and another tv in my home is set up on it. Went thru Roku support with an online chat and all they could do was forward issue to IT department and will email me later. REALLY AGGRAVATED!!!

Same here.  Just bought the new Roku today and I have the same issue.  Sounds like an issue within Roku.  Please advise your customers as you have our email addresses on when this issue will get resolved.  I agree.  This is very aggravating! Thanks

I'm glad I'm not the only one

I spoke to tech support.  They claimed the issue is my Wi-Fi speed which is totally false.  The solution is to set up the new device with a mobile hotspot.  After setup is complete, you can go into settings and change the internet connection back to your home wi-fi.

Me too, bought my third Roku, installed on 3rd tv, now getting message that "this email is already taken".  Why can't I set up a third Roku with my own email?

It sounds like you're going through the new account setup, rather than adding a device to an existing account.

Unplug it and start over. Notice the options. If it says "set up" or "create" an account, that's not what you want to do.

One thing, when it says there's already an existing account, doesn't it give you an option to use the existing account?
