You have to create a Roku account but it's free online. We use our Netflix account. The set up tells you step by step what to do to connect to your accounts. The Roku cost about $70 for the mid quality player, the low end player doesn't work with some of the routers. You have to buy a HDMIcord but Roku has them for $10, don't buy the $50 cord. The high end Roku is better if you play online games. If you have internet service you can buy a router and have wireless in your home. It's sure cheaper then having cable if cable is high or not available in your area. Netflix is $9 a month for unlimited instant movies, tv. Your tv has to have the HDMI port so be sure and check for that.
