How it works

Setting up a Roku is easy!
Questions

  • What is a Roku streaming player? How does it work?
    Roku is a small device that streams movies, TV shows, music, and other entertainment to your TV via the Internet. Since Roku streams (rather than downloads) video, it provides instant access to a huge library of entertainment without having to use a computer or store files locally on a hard drive.

    Once you set up Roku, you do not need a PC to make it work. Roku connects directly to your TV and to your wireless (or wired) home network, then lets you access the streaming entertainment channels that you sign up for (like Netflix) right from your TV, using a handy remote. 

  • What can I watch on Roku? Are there monthly fees?
    There are free and premium entertainment channels on Roku. Free channels include music services (like Pandora, RadioTime), major network news (Roku Newscaster), original programming on current events and culture (Revision3, Twit.tv), photo and video sharing (Flickr, Facebook Photos, Vimeo), and much more.

    Premium channels include subscription movie, TV, sports, and music services (like Netflix, Major League Baseball, MP3Tunes, Hulu Plus coming this Fall) and on-demand services (Amazon Video On Demand). Many of these channels provide free trials or make parts of their service available for free. Some even enable you to use them on other devices like mobile phones and computers.

    Roku does not charge extra to access any premium channel. For example, a Netflix subscription that provides access to a streaming library of over 20,000 movies and TV episodes starts at just $8.99 per month. Roku simply works with that subscription -- there is no extra fee.

  • What do I need to hook it up?
    Roku uses your Internet connection, so you'll need high-speed broadband for the best experience. Generally we recommend at least 1.2 Mbps, but for live events, like Major League Baseball, you’ll want at least 3 Mbps. For HD viewing, we recommend 5 Mbps (go to www.speedtest.net to check out the speed of your Internet connection -- it's free and easy).

    The cables you need to connect Roku to most television sets are included in the box. However, if you're going to be watching in HD, you'll need an HD-capable cable like HDMI. Roku offers a great deal on a 6 ft HDMI cable during checkout -- just $9.99.

  • If I order, how will it ship and when will it get here?
    We always ship your order as soon as possible. Orders placed before 11 AM Pacific on weekdays will be shipped out of our warehouse the same day. Orders placed after 11 AM PT on weekdays, and on Saturdays and Sundays, will be shipped the following business day. For all shipping options, holidays do not count as business days. Once your order ships, you'll receive an email with any available tracking information.

    *Ground Shipping uses US Postal Service Priority Mail, which takes 3-7 business days depending on your zip code. US Postal Service Priority Mail delivers to residential and business addresses, including P.O. boxes and A.P.O./F.P.O. addresses, Monday through Saturday. Transit times are estimates and not guaranteed.

    *FedEx 2-Day shipping takes 2 business days and is delivered only Monday through Friday to residential and business addresses. NOTE: FedEx does not guarantee on-time delivery between December 18-24.

    *FedEx Standard Overnight shipping: orders made Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) before 11 AM PST will be delivered to business or residential addresses the following business day. Not available to Alaska or Hawaii. NOTE: FedEx does not guarantee on-time delivery between December 18-24.
  • How does the 30-day money back guarantee work?
    We want you to be totally satisfied with your Roku player. Return it within 30 days of your purchase, and we'll give you your money back. If you see your same Roku player somewhere for less money, let us know, and we'll make sure you receive the lowest price. Shipping cost is not covered by the Roku 30-day money back guarantee.

    All Roku players are also covered by a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. If you want to be worry-free for even longer, you can purchase an extended warranty that will double that to two years.
