The first secret menu is called “Settings.” This menu contains information about Roku, such as how to change its settings. The second secret menu is called “Programs.” This menu contains information about popular streaming programs, such as “Netflix,” “BBC America,” and “Hulu.” The third secretmenu is called “Channels.” This menu contains information about popular channels, such as CNN, TNT, and TBS. The fourth secretmenu is called “Services.” This menu contains information about popular services, such as Netflix and Hulu Plus. The fifth and finalsecretmenu is called “Settings.” This menu contains information about how to change settings for specific devices, like a TV or Blu-ray player. If you want to create a hidden Roku Menu on your device, there are some simple steps that you can take. First, open up your Roku’s main screen by pressing the power button on your device for two seconds. Then press the left arrow button on your remote control to go to the Settings screen.
