How Do I Use VidAngel on My Roku?

It seems that the Roku button to add channels is throwing an error. There is a way around it until they get it fixed.

1. Go to your Roku account at https://my.roku.com/account/add
2. When it brings up the next page that says "Enter a channel access code to add a public channel, a non-certified channel, or a beta channel to your Roku account" write-in "VidAngel" and add the channel. 
3. Then select "ok" when it warns you it's not a certified channel. 

After completing these steps, the new Roku channel should appear in the Home section with your other channels!
