Roku TV is a smart TV with a built-in TV screen and a simple and intuitive interface. It can stream content over the internet and watch live TV with an antenna. It also allows you to access connected devices such as a set-top box or game console.
With an easy-to-use remote and a free mobile app, you can control your Roku TV. It lets you search for movies, shows, and more on top streaming services. It also adds powerful features like Live TV Pause and Smart Guide.
If you are having trouble getting this device to work, this article is for you. Therefore, for its configuration, we ask that you read this article in its entirety.
1. Insert the batteries into the Roku TV remote
Your Roku TV remote comes with a pair of matching batteries of the correct size. Open the back cover of the remote and insert the batteries, observing the polarity indicated inside. Finally, replace the back cover.
2. Turn on the TV
The standby light below the TV screen should be lit, indicating that the TV is powered on. Then press the power button on the Roku TV remote. The standby light will turn off, and a moment later, you will see the TV's startup screen. After a short wait, the first guided setup screen will appear.
3. Choose a language
When your Roku TV turns on, the first screen allows you to choose a language. All text and dialog in the Roku app will be displayed in the selected language. Scroll up and down the list. Then, press the OK button on the Roku TV remote to choose a language.
Note: It is the channel editor's responsibility to translate their channel. Also, some channels may not support the language you have chosen.

4. Connect your Roku TV to your network and the internet
After setting up your Roku TV for home use, choose your wireless network from the list of available networks. Then enter your password. This is most often the same network you use to connect your computer or smartphone to the internet. Also, if you don't see your network at first, select Scan again to see all networks.
If you want to see your password as you type it, choose Show Password. This can help prevent you from entering the wrong password. Remember that passwords are sensitive, so use the Shift button on the Roku on-screen keyboard to type a capital letter. Once you've entered your password, select Connect. Your Roku TV will immediately connect to your network and the internet. Once connected to the internet, your Roku TV will download the latest version of the Roku OS software and then restart.
5. Create a Roku account and activate your Roku TV
To activate your Roku TV, you need to connect it to a Roku account. This account stores information about your devices and installed channels, as well as your settings and preferences.
When prompted onscreen, enter a valid email address to use for your Roku account. Then, switch to your computer or smartphone to activate and link your Roku TV. Be aware that it may take a few moments to receive the activation email from Roku. Also, if you don't see it in your inbox, be sure to check your spam folder.
Note: Roku does not require an activation fee or support fee of any kind. Learn how to avoid fraudulent websites. You can check out this article to help you choose the right online electronics store .
6. Connect your devices
If you haven't already, connect your devices, such as your cable box, game console, Blu-ray or DVD player , or VCR. If you're using your Roku TV with a soundbar or home theater receiver, connect them as well.
Turn on all your connected devices. Your Roku TV can detect certain types of devices, so it will prompt you to turn them on before continuing. When you're ready, select Everything is plugged in and turned on. Then, follow the simple instructions to complete this step for each input.
Press the OK button on the Roku TV remote, then press the OK button again to confirm that everything is plugged in and turned on. Guided Setup asks you to assign a name and icon to the device connected to the first input. To do this, you can select from a pre-selected drop-down menu - or select Set Custom Name and Icon. This will customize the input name and choose from a menu of icons.
After a few seconds, the screen will also display a small window showing the program currently playing on the device connected to the input, if applicable. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to scroll through the list. Finally, press the OK button on the Roku TV remote to make your selection.
7. Optional – Connect an antenna to your Roku TV
This step is not part of the guided setup and only applies if you're using the Live TV input. If you have a cable or satellite TV box, you'll likely connect it to one of your TV's HDMI inputs. Never use the Live TV input.
The first time you select the Live TV tile on the Home screen, the TV will direct you to scan for channels. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to complete this step. Finally, you'll be able to watch your local broadcast or unencrypted cable channels.
Tips: You can personalize your Roku TV by changing your theme or screensaver. You can use the Roku Channel Store to add new streaming channels, games, and other apps.
