Re: going to Arizona for three months. what do I need to do to set up ROKU

Generally, all you need to do is connect to the new network from the Network settings.  Don't forget to bring your remote because you'll need it to connect to a Wi-Fi network.   If you get your local channels through Hulu or some other streaming provider you'll probably need to set up your new location and if you're using a TV for antenna channels you'll need to rescan.  Most streaming apps (e.g., Netflix, Paramount+, etc.) should be completely unaffected.

This assumes you're just moving from one US location to another.  If you're changing countries, that's a whole new ball of wax.

I've heard that some cable TV apps from cable internet/TV companies may refuse to run outside of their own network. Other than those though, like @renojim said, as long as you are within the same country, it should be easy.

@Strega2 Is correct.  If you have a cable/internet package, certain channels will be restricted outside of the home network where you have the service set up.

 

On a side note, I am wondering if these postings with the capital S with a line (strikethrough) are legitimate postings (since there seems to be a lot of those) or if this is someone that tried to post a spam link.  Or does that mean something else?

I think it's a (strange/non-intuitive) indicator that the user didn't type anything in the message body.
