One hiccup with the video-based BingePasses: you can’t access the apps on every device.

You can watch BingePasses on the web or via your Android, Android Fire, or iOS device. Select BingePasses are accessible on Roku devices. BingePass is not available on set-top boxes (e.g., Samsung TV, Fire TV/Stick, or Apple TV).
