Is my Roku account PIN also used to restrict access to over-the-air content on my Roku TV™?
No. There is a separate PIN from your Roku account PIN, that when set up on your Roku TV, lets you restrict over-the-air content. Each PIN is created and managed in a different location. You can choose to create each 4-digit PIN using the same set of numbers, but this must be done independently.
What is each PIN used for?
A PIN, or Personal Identification Number, is a set of numbers used to prevent unauthorized access. The PIN on your Roku account prevents unauthorized users in your home from adding channels to your Roku streaming player or Roku TV, making purchases with your Roku account, and watching a title within The Roku Channel that has a higher age rating than permitted by your preferences. The PIN on your Roku TV prevents unauthorized viewers from accessing restricted content when watching the Live TV input on your Roku TV.
Where do I set up the PIN for my Roku Account?
You can create or update the PIN for your Roku account after signing in to your Roku account.
Where do I set up the parental control PIN for my Roku TV?
You can create or update the PIN for your Roku TV from the Settings menu on your Roku TV.
