Find a relative with Direct TV

Invite them to visit.

Let them use their account to verify service of ________ (ESPN, bob Ross channel, etc) on Roku

Your set until they ask for another verification in about 6 months

If you are super sneaky, make sure you do the initial verification by asking them for their account email and password as you type it in. Then you’ll have both for future needs.
