  New devices don’t allow that

    I got mine three weeks ago and Amazon. How much more new can it get?

      Really? Last time I used a Roku device it forced an account.

        It appears to be device dependent, some have the initial online setup requirements, even the Community Forum on Roku’s site tells a poster they will need to setup with the internet connection and then can disconnect after setting it up.

        Last post in this thread with a response by a former moderator.

        You will need an internet connection and a Roku account to activate your Roku TV.

        …

        Once the activation is complete, you can disconnect from the internet and continue to use your TV
