Welcome to RokuGuide.com

We recently added five channels to our Private (Non-Certified) Roku Channel directory. You'll find interviews with classic TV celebrities; global TV shows, movies, and entertainment news; conspiracy talks shows and movies; podcasts from CNET, NASA, TWiT, TED, and others; and live TV streams from France, Netherlands, Cyprus, Haiti, Lëtzebuerg, and Berlin.

The WatchESPN app on Roku has been rebranded and is now just "ESPN." The user interface is also sporting a new look, but the biggest update to the app is the addition of the ESPN+ subscription service.

CBS has launched a new 24-hour streaming sports news network, CBS SPORTS HQ, that features live, anchored news, highlights, and analysis for all major sports. The CBS SPORTS HQ channel replaces the old CBS Sports channel on Roku, and is available as an app on other devices. CBS SPORTS HQ is free to all users, with no pay TV subscription required.

Millions of Roku TVs and streaming devices are vulnerable to hackers according to a recent Consumer Reports article. But Gary Ellison, Vice President of Trust Engineering at Roku, Inc. disputes that assessment and calls it "a mischaracterization of a feature." So, what - if anything - should you do to keep hackers out of your Roku?

If you're wondering why you can't find the Amazon Video channel on Roku, it's not gone, it's just been renamed. Amazon is now calling it's streaming video service Prime Video.

YouTube TV is now available on Roku, adding more competition to an already-crowded field of live TV streaming services dominated by Sling TV, DIRECTV NOW, and PlayStation Vue. While YouTube TV doesn't stand out in terms of price and channel lineup, it does offer an excellent user interface and some nice bonuses like unlimited cloud DVR and six logins per account. But don't look for it on the YouTube channel, it's on a whole new YouTube TV channel.
