Re: Why does it need a activation😡

I'm not exactly sure where you are in the process now, but you can create an account without a CC at https://my.roku.com/signup/nocc .  I thought there was a way to skip the step to enter a CC during the normal account setup.  You can also remove any payment method at any time.

If your Roku seems to be stuck waiting for something, try unplugging the power for a few seconds and plug it back in.  If that doesn't work, try a factory reset using the reset button.

You have to have a Roku account, but you don't have to have a payment method attached to your Roku account.
