Hi, everyone !!
This time last week, the 2018 FIFA World Cup Finals were still playing-out the "Quarter Finals" in the tournament... but, this weekend, we will bear witness to the "3rd-Place Playoff" (on Saturday) as well as the "Final" (on Sunday) of the FIFA World Cup 2018 for which live coverage of both matches will also be available for streaming on Roku players and NOW TV devices in the UK. If you missed my dedicated 'World Cup 2018' article, which was published mid-week as an extra article between my 'Weekly RoundUp' post of five weeks ago and the 'Weekly RoundUp' post after that, you can see "How To WATCH THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2018 LIVE On Roku Players and NowTV Devices" by reading that, and will find full details on how to live stream the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final, both in UK and other countries around the world, with an emphasis on live streaming the World Cup Final using genuine Roku-branded products and/or Roku-Powered™ devices, such as those sold by NOW TV here in UK (e.g. NOW TV Box, NOW TV Smart Box, or NOW TV Smart Stick).
Unlike the "bare bones" approach of the official "how-to" post from the Roku Stream Blog, that does little more than to name-drop a couple of Roku channels (apps) through which UK Roku users can get live coverage of World Cup 2018 matches, my own "in-depth" article provides kick-off times for every game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament, as well as a complete list of all the fixtures that made-up both the "Group Stage" and "Knockout Stage" of the 2018 World Cup finals, plus specific details as to which broadcast channels (BBC One, ITV, ITV4, etc.) within the main Roku channels (i.e. BBC iPlayer, BBC Sports, ITV Hub, etc.) of more than one half-dozen Roku apps that are at the disposal of Roku UK users... never mind the additional Roku channels (apps) which I've included in the extra country-specific information for those in other Roku "regions" worldwide. So, if you really want to know "HOW TO" watch live coverage of the FIFA World Cup Final on the Roku platform, be sure to read my dedicated blog post (see link above) before the final on Sunday 15th July 2018 to discover where & when to watch the final showdown of this tournament between France and Croatia! :-D
Before I get on with the usual Roku-related matters, I wanted to remind you all about some important info re: LIMITED-TIME SPECIAL OFFERS FOR AMAZON PRIME VIDEO SUBSCRIBERS that I shared last week. There are a total of FOUR INDIVIDUAL OFFERS which can either be taken on their own, or as a combination of any / all of them, with the only caveat being that you need to either (already) be an Amazon Prime customer... or prepared to subscribe to Amazon Prime, either with a free trial (if eligible), or without one (if you previously subscribed and/or took a free trial). Provided you meet these criteria, you can choose from any of the 90-DAY FREE TRIALS mentioned in that article, but be aware: all the OFFERS END ON TUESDAY 17th JULY 2018 - SO, DON'T DELAY!
Meanwhile, with no other Roku-related news to share with you this week, I'm now going to get to the more important matter of bringing you details for all the latest new Roku channels (apps) which have been released during the seven days since my last 'Weekly RoundUp' post was published and, with a decent crop of thirty-plus Roku channels to browse through, that should hopefully be enough to keep you occupied while I finish-off my match reports of the last two 'World Cup 2018' games for you! ;-)
Firstly, though, I'd just like to mention (on a not entirely un-related note) that I have now added links to some (though, still not all) of the 'Roku Guide' reviews that were previously "missing" for many of the new Roku channels released in the last few weeks... so, if you'd like to see an independent appraisal of those, be sure to check-out my post from last week (see link above), which (itself) contains a link to the previous week's post (and so-on, and so-forth), for details of where to find them. Unfortunately, there are more "missing" links to 'Roku Guide' reviews for over ninety-five per cent of the new Roku apps which have been published during the last seven days... which means, much like many other posts from recent months, I am going to have to leave it for each of you to access those details on your own. As of five months ago, you can choose to do that either via the built-in channel store on your Roku device(s)... or else, by following the links provided in each post to the relevant channel description(s) from the Roku Web Channel Store. Meanwhile, once the "missing" reviews have been published by 'Roku Guide', I will (as I have done previously) ensure that I add the relevant links to each post. Apologies (as always) for any inconvenience that may be caused by the absence of active links to an independent review for so many of these new apps but, like I say, it's entirely out of my hands. Hopefully they'll get a chance to catch-up on them sometime in the coming week!?! ;-) :-)
Still, back to the list... which, as always, will help you to identify the very latest apps that have been added to Roku devices in the UK. Other websites offering Roku channel listings will base their contents on the Roku USA Channel Store, which means they also include apps that are unavailable to UK Roku users. So, like I've said before... if you really want to know what's available channel-wise, for owners of Roku devices in the UK, you need to be reading this blog each and every week! ;-) :-)
With twice the number of active links to check out, not just for this week... but each and every post that has been previously published as part of my 'Weekly RoundUp' series over the last five years, there's a *lot* of reading to catch-up on. So, without further ado, here's my 'Weekly RoundUp' of all new Roku channels released between 8th July 2018 and 14th July 2018:-
