How To Change the Email ID on the Roku TV
You can change the email address of the Roku TV using the web browser or the factory reset method. Each one of the procedures is separately explained.

- Navigate to the Roku’s home screen using the remote and tap the Settings option.
- Select the System option on the screen and proceed by clicking the Advanced system settings on the right side of the screen.
- Choose the Factory Reset option at the top. You will have to input the Roku PIN to confirm.
