    How fast do I need to record these button sequences?

    Very fast. If you take a moment very long between the button press, your Roku will not bring the secret menu that you are trying to access. If it does not work on the first attempt, just take a second to breathe and try again.

    Can I find these Roku menu without pressing the button sequences?

    Some menu are available in the settings of Roku – like the network menu. But most of them are buried and are accessible only by killing the right button combo, as far as I can tell. So there are also “secret” in the name of some screens.

    Samesies. Fortunately, however, Roku has a software remote available Mobile applicationDownload and use it instead.
