You will need Roku account...but, it's free! They need your email to set everything up on. The only thing I'm paying extra for is my "Disney+ channel. You can watch for free on YouTube also.

Roku offers over 10,000 streaming channels, some may require a monthly subscription while Roku still offers thousands of other content for you to enjoy for free!
