In order to unblock and get American channels on your Roku, you need to create an American Roku account. To do, follow these steps:
- Setup VPN or Smart DNS on your PC/Mac. Do not proceed unless you have completed either setup.

- Next, fill in the required information and then click ‘Continue’.
- Choose a Pin and click ‘Continue’.
- On the next page, you have to payment options: Paypal or Credit Card.
- Choose Paypal if you already own a Paypal account since your Paypal country does not affect your Roku account.
- Use a valid US address to create your American Roku account. You can use California as your state and 90210 as your zip code.
- If you choose Credit card as your payment option, you have to use your own street address that is associated with your credit card.
- Then, you need to convert the postal code into a valid zip code.
- Keep note of the City associated with the new zip as it is required for the Roku account setup.
- To create a valid zip code, take the digits from your postcode. The postal code M1Z4L3 becomes 143. Add zeros to the end if you have less than 5 digits in your postal code. So the 143 becomes ZIP 14300.
- Now that you have finalized your Roku account, reset your Roku streaming device to factory settings. Then, use the newly created American Roku account on your Roku device.
