Can't open Brit Box or Acorn on new ROKU device.

I am away from my home ROKU and want to watch Brit Box and Acorn but no way to sign in.  It keeps asking me to set up a new service.

Re: Can't open Brit Box or Acorn on new ROKU device.

Is the new Roku device linked to the same Roku account as your home Roku device or are you using someone else's?  If you purchase a subscription through Roku you can generally only use that subscription on a Roku device linked to the same Roku account.  That's one reason why people here would generally recommend bypassing Roku (or any third party) and subscribe directly with the provider.
