The feature bears a striking resemblance to one offered by Roku for some time, where users are able to sign up for various subscriptions from within the Roku Channel. Vizio says the Vizio Account tool is available for “the vast majority” of SmartCast TV sets. Vizio Account will also send customers e-mail notifications for special deals on streaming services and Vizio products, along with information about new features for their SmartCast-enabled sets.

In addition to providing a central tool for managing a user’s streaming subscriptions, Vizio says the service will make it easier for customers to download and log in to streaming services when they purchase new Vizio TVs. The company says additional streaming services will be supported later this year.

The tool, called Vizio Account, will allow customers to enter their payment information, then subscribe to premium streaming services from a central location.
