But, before we give you the codes to getting any of these hidden channels, it’s good to know that some of hidden channels may require a subscription or membership, while others may be completely free.
Also, some private channels might even require a VPN. This is because those are unavailable in certain regions or countries due to geographical restrictions.
You also don’t have to worry about if these hidden channels are illegal and not allowed. Utilizing these channels will not result in any legal trouble as Roku would not endorse their use if they were illegal.
HOW TO ACCESS THE HIDDEN CHANNELS:
- Head to My.Roku.com on any device, and sign into your account
- Locate the “Manage Account” section and tap the “Add Channel” option.
- Enter the hidden channel access code and tap the Add Channel button.
- A pop-up warning will appear, and once you are sure you want that channel, click OK.
- NOTE: The channel won’t immediately appear in your Roku channels list. If you want to access it right away, go to Settings > System > System Update > Check Now on your Roku device.
