Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #82

Hi, everyone !!

Those of you who read my last couple of 'Weekly RoundUp' posts, will (perhaps) recall my mentioning that the annual "Countdown To Halloween" was fast approaching. If you've visited this blog during the past three or four days, you will have seen that several posts in the special month-long blogathon which (this year) I named "Another CreatureFeature Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku" have already been made. Each day of the week is going to have it's own theme and, if you missed the first few, they include "Wicked Watch Wednesday", "Toxic Tipple Thursday" and "Fiendish Food Friday", with the remaining themes still to be revealed over the course of the next four days. Needless to say... with all of the extra input required to participate in the "Countdown To Hallowe'en" over the next four weeks, between now and the end of October, it seems highly unlikely that I'll be catching-up on the missing Roku-related news from this blog anytime soon !!

My one saving grace is that, as mentioned previously, I have managed to remain up-to-date with all the latest additions to the "New" category of the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store during the past couple of months, so it's now just a case of fleshing-out what's missing. As some of you will be aware, there are quite a few articles that I need to catch up on but, rather than post links for individual weeks, I'll simply refer you back to an earlier post, namely "Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #78", which contains all of the pertinent information you might need when researching back over the items in question. Again, I'm sorry this has continued to drag-on for longer than anticipated, and I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you in the meantime, but (all being well) things will be back up to speed before too long!

For now... all I can offer you (once more) 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 TWO NEW "Film & TV" CHANNELS, as well as EXTRA "Internet TV" / "Photos & Video" / "Special Interest" CHANNELS, plus ONE MORE OPTION in the "Religion & Spirituality" category, among the selection of channels added in the week since my last post. Hopefully that will be 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 SIX 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, Internet TV, Photos & Video, Special Interest, plus Religion & Spirituality 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 eighteen 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 six 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 nine 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 !!
