Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #157





Hi, everyone !!



As was the case last week, and (likewise) four weeks ago, there has (once more) been another bumper crop of new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store during the last seven days. As a result, I have (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 10th March 2016 by Melissa Morell. The article pertains to the annual SXSW event and includes details of some special content which can be viewed via the 'SXSW On' channel for Roku devices. As well as interviews and live performances from the interactive, film and music event this weekend, there's a heads-up on what's coming from 16th-19th March at SXSW in Austin (Texas) and, if you're into music, I'd recommend that you read the story - FOUND HERE - and follow the link therein for a full live-streaming schedule which will enable you to tune-in for any of the artists which suit your taste(s) in music. There's one or two other bits of Roku-related news this week, which (as I said before) I will endeavour to squeeze-in when I get chance, so you may want to re-visit this post at a later date for that but, meanwhile... you'll find links to details for the entire current crop of new additions beneath each of the channel icons shown below.


Having said that... as is the case from time to time, there is one "missing" link to an 'Roku Guide' review for 'Get Looky' at the top of this list. As usual, this link will be added to the post as and when it becomes available. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the channel is available to Roku owners in the USA (as evidenced by it's inclusion in the Roku web channel store) and readers of this blog from the United States can follow the link (provided below) to the Roku channel description until such time as the review is posted by 'Roku Guide'. Anyway, here is what we have for you so far:-

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



Anyhow, like it or not, that is your lot for this week and, whilst it doesn't quite amount to 75% of the forty-six channels which made it into the "Official" Roku USA Channel Store during the same time-frame, it's better to get 33 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 thirty-three "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-three 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 !!
