Do you have those channels already installed? I think it only works if you use a channel that is not currently installed on your box.
Also I don't think it was ever intended to work for private channels, but I'll check on this. You can't get to the Channel Store page for a private channel through the UI, so it doesn't seem right that you could do it via ECP.
It was working before for
any channel - public or private - installed or uninstalled. And the functionality was very neat and self-contained, without semantical leaks*.
See for example
my "Remote for Roku" iOS app where a "long tap" on an icon from the channel list would pop the channel details page on TV screen (by calling /launch/11?ContentID=). It makes for a very nice integration and without stealing any Roku thunder - conversely, it re-focuses the user from the mobile device to the TV screen.
(*) Meaning that for any channel it brings a single, self-contained "app info" screen with a short description, average rating, screenshots and choices to add/remove/launch/rate the channel. Which screen is rather elegant and i'd argue it is the screen that should pop when Options is pressed on an icon (or at least should be accessible from the current "move" menu). When invoked with ECP, exiting it with Back did not link to Channel Store, so there couldn't be an implication that say a private channel is endorsed in any way by the Co. That's what i mean by "no leaky semantics"
