To find a channel you’re interested in, you can search for its name using the search bar or by entering the channel number by pressing the star key (*) on your remote and selectingJump to Channel.
A surprising number of channels with this update caught my interest, including MGM’s Stargate, which features the Stargate franchise, and Life Below Zero, showcasing people’s survival stories in the harshest environments. As an esports fan, I’m intrigued by the channel dedicated to Team Liquid and wonder if we’ll see more esports channels appear on Roku in the future.
If you don’t have a Roku TV or streaming device, you can still check out these channels for free by downloading the Roku app on your device.
