Channels & viewing

[Wtl]

I heard Roku has several Chinese mandarin programs but I found none. I have read you could add streaming to services to Roku like Mandarin TV or some others but I have no idea how to. Can anyone help me?

If I search for mandarin in the (US) channel store, I find 3 matches (all some variation of ACTV).  It might be helpful to also search for Chinese, China etc.  since “mandarin” is a foreign name for a Chinese language.  (China and Chinese are foreign names as well, but nothing at all shows up when I search for Chinese names like 普通话 or 中国.) Asian might be another word worth searching.

Here are a couple of channels that might be interesting:

Here in the USA, I found the following channels in the Streaming (Channel) Store:

ACTV LIVE

ACTV Mandarin

Innovative Language has several channels, but not Chinese.
