Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #79





Hi, everyone !!



It was bound to happen, I suppose... the moment I announced, by way of an introduction to my previous blog post, how it was looking like I'd finally have some spare time to catch-up on all of the missing Roku-related news last weekend, suddenly (it seemed) every family member, friend and casual acquaintance I know found a myriad of ways for me to "better" occupy my time. Suffice to say, an important blogging lesson was learned from this experience and, in future, I shall keep such thoughts to myself instead of publishing them here and, in doing so, (hopefully) avoid my "good intentions" from being made public and "used" against me. To all intents and purposes, this means that "I'm busy" every weekend in the foreseeable future. That's not going to be far from the truth, either, as I'm now six weeks behind with this particular aspect of my posts and the annual "Countdown To Halloween" will be starting soon which will only add to my blogging burden. Fortunately, I have managed to remain up-to-date with all of the latest additions to the "New" category of the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store during the past month and a half so it's just a case of dotting a few "i's" and crossing some "t's" to flesh out what's missing. However, rather than continue to post links for individual posts, I'll simply refer you back to my previous post, namely "Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #78", which contains all of the pertinent information you might need when researching back over the articles in question. I'm sorry this has dragged-on (far) longer than anticipated, and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you, but (all being well) things will be back up to speed before too long!



Meanwhile... all I can offer you (once again) is a brief summary of the latest channel additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store from the past seven days. As with my other recent posts, you can expect all the Roku-related news from this past week, along with details of any changes to the channel selection found on NowTV Boxes, to be added at some point in the near future. Until then... there's half a dozen "Special Interest" channels, as well as a few "Film & TV" channels, plus nine new "Food" channels, in addition to one "Internet TV" channel and a few more options in the "News, Weather, Sport" category, among the selection of new channels which have been added in the last seven days. Hopefully that should be more than enough to keep you occupied until I'm back on track again!



Anyway, with all of that Roku-related news still to follow, let's now press on with details for the current 'Weekly RoundUp' of NEW ADDITIONS to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store. This time, there are TWENTY-ONE NEW CHANNELS which have been added during the past seven days. These latest additions to the channel line-up have provided FRESH CONTENT in the Film & TV, News, Weather, Sport, Internet TV, Food, plus Special Interest genres (i.e. categories).


In keeping with previous installments from the 'Weekly RoundUp' series, details of these new channels have all been listed below, together with links to obtain further information {by clicking on the channel name(s) beneath the respective channel icon(s) as pictured} and to read a 'Roku Guide' review with an independent (slightly more expansive) assessment of each one:-

*********************************************



Anyhow, like it or not, that is your lot for this week and, whilst it doesn't quite the match-up to the twenty-eight channels which made it into the "Official" Roku USA Channel Store during the same time-frame, I always think it's better to have SOME NEW CHOICES than none at all, don't you ?!!


Still, hopefully everyone in the UK with a Roku player managed to find something they like within the twenty-one channels outlined above. If not, then you'll just have to pay us a visit another time when, with any luck, there will be something more to your liking. Afterall, there's no point installing every channel because, as I've said before, when it comes to adding new channels to your Roku player, IT'S YOUR CHOICE and, as with all things Roku... THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS YOURS !!




*********************************************



As mentioned earlier in this post, you can expect my usual summary of all the goings-on (or not) in the (severely restricted) Roku Channel Store that features on NowTV Boxes to follow in the near future. Meanwhile, whether you happen to own a Roku player, a NowTV Box, OR BOTH, as I do... be sure to check my previous posts (as mentioned above) for all the new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store in each of the six preceding weeks and then come back again in seven days' time for my next 'Weekly RoundUp'. However, if you can't wait that long, remember you can always keep up with all the UK Roku action (as it happens) throughout the coming week, by following the companion Twitter Feed: @ukrokuchannels where up-to-the-minute info on all things Roku-related (here in the UK) is posted on a daily basis (well, almost).



Until the next time, then...




That's all folks !!
