Private Roku channels exist for a number of
reasons.
Some are still in beta.
Some require a membership and some feature adult-only content that Roku doesn't want in their store.

Now, on any of these sites you'll find a code for installing that channel that you want, for example the WootChannel is BPPIM.
If you're an area subscriber, the code for their channel is a little easier to remember.

the code, head over to roku.com and log in.
Click where it says, My Account, and the scroll down to where it says Add a Private Channel.
Select it and you'll be given a place to type in your code and choose Add Channel.

Now, once you're updated, and you should see your new channels alongside your
favorites.
