FAQ’s: [cnn.com activate]
1. I am not watching CNN on Roku. How do I resolve the issue?
If you are trying to view CNN on your Roku device and it’s not working, please click here for instructions.
2. Why am I temporarily banned from streaming content to my Roku device?
If you are trying to stream something through our channel and it is asking you to authenticate your account by signing into rokulos.com, then either
- your account has been flagged as a new user or
- we may have exceeded our monthly transfer limits with your ISP due to increased traffic. Please unplug/disconnect and wait 15 seconds before plugging back in again. Then retry loading the video and complete the sign-in process.
3. I saw a new update was released. Is it mandatory to install the update right away?
No, it’s not mandatory. The latest version of our app will require sign-in through rokulos.com but all other functionality will remain the same unless we issue any additional updates in the future.
If you prefer signing in with your existing username and password, don’t do anything about the update since no new user login is required on older versions of our channel anyway. We will continue hosting older versions of our channel at this link for several days after every release to minimize the impact on our users.
