Q: QuestionSo do I pay a monthly fee for the Roku? I don’t really inderstand how this works…. If u have this you don’t pay monthly fees for these channels?

Asked 4 months ago by Sher.

• A:Answer Once you buy it -- that's it unless you purchase the add-on premium channels through Roku. It has over 400 free channels for you to watch live, and through the Roku Channel it has something similar to DVR where you watch seasons of some of the shows. If you already have "plus" channels like Netflix, Apple TV, Disney, etc, you just go under the media section and sign in, and it saves your information.

Asked 11 months ago by Lanaysia.

This question was asked about the related product: Roku - Express | Streaming Media Player with Standard Remote (no TV controls) - Black

• A:Answer If you have it plugged into your TV as the power source sometimes it will do that because it can consider that a weak power source. I had that problem until I plugged it into a wall adapter. Good luck, Hope this helps.

This question was asked about the related product: Roku - Express | Streaming Media Player with Standard Remote (no TV controls) - Black

• A:Answer The remote that comes with it has Chanel selection arrows and volume. It works with my off brand TV. So probably most TVs? I’d check Rokus website to be sure. Channels you get may depend on your subscriptions some are included & some is just access to your subscriptions (like Paramount +) etc.
