5 Private Roku Channels That Rocked
While there are tons of public channels in the Roku channel store. There are some great private Roku channels you won't find listed there. These channels were never published in the Public channel store because they may contain prohibited content such as Roku Porn, Live TV streams or copyrighted content. Or, a developer may simply have wanted to keep their channel private for any number of reasons.
HOW TO ADD PRIVATE ROKU CHANNELS
Private Roku channels can be added by either a code or by clicking an add channel link. Clicking the link is easier. If this won't work because you live in another country and can't access Roku's channel store, you can also add channels by entering a private channel's vanity code.
To enter the code, visit your Roku My Account web page on your computer. After you have Signed in, click the Welcome tab with your name listed underneath. From the pop-up nav bar, go to My account, then scroll down under Manage account and click the Add a Channel link. In the Channel access code box, type in the channel code and then click the blue Add channel button.
No matter which method you choose to add new channels, your new channels won't show up until you go to your Roku and do a System update under settings. Any new channels will then be added and can be found at the very end of your installed channels on your Roku.

XTV
If there is one channel that could have once won a most popular private Roku channel contest it was XTV. This channel had so much free content it is unreal.

There was no complicated add-ons or setups like with Plex or Kodi. With the XTV private Roku channel you just turn on your Roku and watch TV. Just the way it should be.
