Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #151





Hi, everyone !!



Over the past few weeks, we have been fortunate to receive a decent crop of new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store during each seven-day period. I'm pleased to say that this week continues in that vein and, consequently, I have (once again) been extremely hard-pushed for time today and, with further details for all of the Roku-related news stories from the past week still to follow, I'm going to have to jump straight into the list of new channel additions and then flesh-out those other aspects of this article as and when I get the chance. That said, you can always look back over the information shared via the companion Twitter Feed: @ukrokuchannels since my previous 'Weekly RoundUp was posted and you'll find most (if not all) of the news there.


Those who do make the effort will be rewarded with full details (including access codes) for a bunch of "private" channels - i.e. those not found among the "public" offerings that populate the channel store on Roku devices - so, if you happened to miss them before, it's worth looking back through my recent tweets for some Roku treats! ;-) Meanwhile... getting back to the current crop of new additions (as listed below) not all of the 'Roku Guide' reviews were available at the original time of publishing, so you'll come across some "missing" links (as in recent weeks) which will be added to this post in due course when the details have been made known to me. Anyway, here's what we have so far:-

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



Anyhow, like it or not, that is your lot for this week and thanks to a few extra channels (which were previously published via the "Official" Roku USA Channel Store) making a late (but, nevertheless, much appreciated) arrival on Roku devices in the UK, we have (once again) just about managed to exceed the twenty-three channels which made it into the "Official" Roku USA Channel Store (during the same time-frame) with the selection of 24 NEW CHANNELS shown above. Woo-hoo! :-)



Small victories aside... hopefully everyone in the UK with a Roku player managed to find something they like within the twenty-four "public" channels outlined above... or else from the "private" channels, whose access codes were "gifted" to you via the companion Twitter Feed to this blog, at various points throughout the last seven days. That said, if you didn't find anything to add to your Roku channel selection from the assortment on offer this week, you can always 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 channels to your Roku devices, IT'S YOUR CHOICE and, as with all things Roku... THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS YOURS!




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



As mentioned previously, 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 earlier posts (as mentioned before) for all the new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store in each of the seventy-seven 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 !!
