To personalize your experience, I recommend you log in to all your accounts in one go and be done with it. Signing in to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc takes about 5 minutes each, once done you are good to use it. Also keep in mind, not to add too many channels to the device. Only add channels you want and use to keep the memory free and your home layout clutter-free.
