Roku is an online streaming service that lets users stream movies, TV shows, anime and so on by adding something they call ‘channels’. In this article, we’re listing out the top 34 Roku channels to keep you entertained. 

Private Roku channels are testing channels for developers. However, since Roku doesn’t scrutinise these channels, they can be used to serve pirated or illegal content.

Roku private channels are safe, and you won’t be in trouble for simply subscribing or viewing them. However, user discretion is advised when accessing such channels as there’s no saying what kind of content they might stream.
