For instance, the channel may be under testing or beta mode, it may have illegal contents, or otherwise violates terms, geo-restrictions in countries like US, UK, etc and conditions of Roku. Such channels can be installed on Roku with a valid channel code. So, it will not be available when you browse the Roku Store using your remote.
