Your Roku device is automatically deactivated in your Netflix account when you remove the channel. You can add the channel and reauthorize your Roku device in your Netflix account again when needed.
How to sign out of Netflix on a Roku 1
Signing out on a Roku 1 requires deactivating the device in your Netflix account.
1. Go to the Roku settings menu.
2. Select "Netflix settings" from the options available.
3. Choose "Deactivate this device from my Netflix account" from the menu.
4. Confirm your selection when prompted.
You can sign out of Netflix on one Roku device without affecting other Roku devices you own. Signing out of Netflix on one Roku device will not sign your account out of other Roku devices.
Deactivating your Roku means the device no longer has permission to connect to your Netflix account. You must reauthorize it in order to use Netflix on that device.
Removing a channel from one Roku device, however, will remove it from all your Roku devices that are logged into the same Roku account. Adding Roku channels is a quick process.
