Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #159





Hi, everyone !!



As has been the case for the past few weeks, there's been another bumper crop of new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store during the last seven days. As a result, I have (once again) been somewhat 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 and you'll find most (if not all) of the Roku news there.


One thing I will just briefly mention is a recent post from the "Official" Roku Stream Blog, which was published on Thursday 24th March 2016 by Melissa Morell. The article pertains to some of the TOP FREE CHANNELS available for kids and, with the Easter holidays upon us, I'd recommend that you read the story - FOUND HERE - for a list of Roku channels that'll help keep your little ones entertained while they're off school. It should be noted that not all of the channels listed in the article are available to UK Roku users (as several are US-only) but, if you use the built-in Roku "Search" feature, you should find the vast majority can be added and viewed by UK audiences too! :-)


Besides that, there are one or two other bits of Roku-related news this week, which (as I said before) I'll endeavour to squeeze-in when I get chance, so you may want to re-visit this post at a later date for those. Meanwhile... you'll find links to full channel descriptions from the Roku (USA) website as well as  'Roku Guide' reviews with additional details for the entire current crop of new additions beneath each of the channel icons shown below:-

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



Anyhow, like it or not, that is your lot for this week and, whilst it barely amounts to three quarters of the thirty-three channels which made it into the "Official" Roku USA Channel Store during the same time-frame, it's better to get 25 NEW CHANNELS than none at all... as I'm sure you'll agree?!


Either way, hopefully everyone in the UK with a Roku player managed to find something they like within the twenty-five "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 of channels 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, like I've said before... when it comes to adding new channels to your Roku, IT'S YOUR CHOICE  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 eighty-five 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 !!
