1 min read
Summary
Roku devices have secret menus that can be accessed by pressing specific button combinations, which can be used to obtain greater control over the device and access background information and diagnostics, according to a report by MakeUseOf.
These secret menus are intended for use by trained technicians, and unauthorised access could lead to accidental damage to the device.
The report details several of these secret menus and their accessibility methods, including the Network Menu, Platform Menu, Wireless Secret Screen, Roku’s Secret Channel Info Menu, Secret Screen 2, HDMI Secret Screen, and Roku’s Secret Developer Settings menu.
The Network Menu allows the user to connect their Roku to their home network, while the Platform Menu provides information such as IP address, home network, and CPU voltage and temperature.
The Wireless Secret Screen offers more granular reporting on wireless signal strength and antennas, as well as providing the ability to run an access point speed test.
Roku’s Secret Channel Info Menu allows the user to check the build of an app and any missing features, enabling them to check if their device is incompatible with certain app features.
