The channel requests that you link your Roku by logging in with your Facebook account. It is not necessary to do this in order to view the content, but creating a free account and linking your Roku player to it will let you add videos to your queue and track what you've watched. The login wasn't working properly when we tested the channel. After logging in with your Facebook account at video.indiewire.com/user, you may need to return that same website to enter the code on the linking code from the Roku channel.
