Where did the channels that offer language learning, old tv shows, old radio programs, tai chi, travel videos, et el?
Best way to find those may be to go to the online Roku Channel Store and do a Search for them. Sometimes keep the search simple and more results will pop up (ie. tai, how to, travel, etc)

Go to the Streaming Store and scroll down to the line that has APPS and SEARCH.
Click APPS and you'll find all the old independent channels arranged by general subject.
The current Streaming Store main page is a convoluted mess and hard to find anything with many channels (apps) duplicated.
Thank you for your reply. I went to streaming, then apps, the all apps and it was a tiny representaion of what used to be there smattered in with commercial streaming stations. This is sad.
Searching on the device is a mess and as you discovered, there is content/channels promoted by Roku that tend to bump out the smaller guys.
I use the online Channel Store to either search by keywords or category. https://channelstore.roku.com/browse?locale=en-us
There is also an independent, non-affiliated Roku-related website that is still updating the available channels/apps available called rokuguide. https://www.rokuguide.com/channels (can see all available by scrolling through them, sorting by date, category, etc.).
