Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #311





Hi, everyone !!



Recent events concerning the transfer of streaming rights to both 'Serie A' and 'Eredivisie' live games from 'Eleven Sports' to 'Premier Sports', with some being shown on sister channel 'FreeSports', has meant UK Roku owners are now able to enjoy (part of) the action via the 'TVPlayer' app. To wit, if you wish to know what's being shown LIVE and FREE on the channel, I've added a couple of useful links to the sidebar of my blog which will provide you with all of the details you're likely to need. HINT: Just scroll down the page, keeping an eye on the right-hand column, until you see the logo for 'FreeSports' and you will find the links (and other info) just below that. Now, if only 'Premier Sports' would get their act together and develop a Roku channel of their own (or come to some arrangement with 'TVPlayer' such as that with their sister 'FreeSports' channel) we could enjoy full coverage of all the games from those leagues, as well as the Chinese Super League, on our favourite streaming media players - so, let's keep our fingers crossed that they'll be on the Roku platform soon, eh!?!! ;-) :-)


Anyhow, at that time, it was believed Eleven Sports would continue to broadcast their live coverage of 'La Liga' exclusively - at least for the foreseeable future - but, on Friday 22nd February 2019, it was revealed via the 'ITV' website that the rights for UK free-to-air coverage of 'La Liga' had been scooped-up by the broadcaster. This means that some of Spain's 'La Liga' matches will now also be available for free on Roku devices because, starting with the game on Sunday 24th February 2019 between Levante and Real Madrid, weekly matches will be shown on 'ITV4' along with a midweek highlights programme. This deal ensures coverage of Spanish footballing giants such as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, will feature on ITV4 until the end of the season in May, when this short-term deal will end. When asked to comment, Niall Sloane (ITV Director of Sport) said:

"This is good news for football fans who will be able to see on free to air television some of the world’s best players in action for some of the world’s biggest clubs in a league known for its high levels of skill and entertainment from now to the end of the season".

The rights to the other matches were secured by 'Premier Sports', to add to their growing portfolio, but I have yet to hear whether or not some of those 'La Liga' matches will find their way onto their sister channel, 'FreeSports', as is the case for certain 'Serie A' and 'Eredivisie' games as mentioned above. Meanwhile, you can read more about the coverage on 'ITV4' in this related article on the ITV website and look forward to streaming some great action from 'La Liga' on Roku in the coming weeks! :-D








Anyway, getting back to more Roku-specific matters, I'm also pleased to report that in the seven days since my last post we've had ANOTHER MAMMOTH CROP OF NEW CHANNEL RELEASES to further boost the UK Channel Store total. To wit, no less than EIGHTY-SIX NEW ROKU APPS have been added to the already vast selection of over six thousand which populated the channel store as of this time last week. As a result, we've now been blessed with just under eight hundred new apps, in a period of only eight weeks, any of which can be added to UK Roku devices. As if that wasn't enough, there's the 86 new apps released during the past week! So, much like other recent 'Weekly RoundUp' posts, I must forego my summary of Roku-related news so I can list these new apps...


...the idea being that, with no other Roku-related news to share, I can (instead) focus on the important task of providing details for all the latest new Roku channels (apps) released during the seven days since my last 'Weekly RoundUp' post was published and, with ANOTHER HUGE SELECTION of 86 new Roku channels, that should (hopefully) be more than enough to keep you occupied while I see what additional snippets of Roku-related news I can find for you in the coming week! ;-) :-)


Having said that, owing to it's time-sensitive nature, I'd just like to give you a quick heads-up about a recent LIMITED-TIME SPECIAL OFFER I spotted to SAVE OVER 40% OFF THE USUAL COST of a 'SKY SPORTS MONTH PASS' from NOW TV and PAY ONLY £20 PER MONTH for access to live sporting action across all eleven 'Sky Sports' channels FOR THREE MONTHS, instead of their usual £33.99 per month cost for this particular 'NowTV' pass. What this means is that, over the entire 3-month period, you will PAY ONLY £60.00 IN TOTAL spread over three monthly payments leaving you "quids-in" VERSUS THE REGULAR FEE OF £101.97 OVER A 3-MONTH PERIOD which is a pretty significant saving overall. Here's the promo banner from their website confirming the offer:-

According to the details on the NOW TV website you only have a matter of days to snag this deal since, as per the T&C's, THIS OFFER ENDS AT 23:59 ON THURSDAY 28th FEBRUARY 2019 !! So, you'll need to ACT SOON... BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE if you want to grab yourself a bargain. To take advantage of the deal, which is open to both new & existing customers, you must do as follows:-


EXISTNG CUSTOMERS - Apply Voucher Code: SPMUWAILLOPS under 'Passes & Vouchers'


NEW CUSTOMERS - Register an account VIA THIS LINK to redeem the offer when you sign-up


The Terms and Conditions (T&C's) for this offer are such that:- The voucher code entitles recipients to three consecutive Sky Sports Month Passes for £20 per month (standard price currently £33.99). Available to new and existing NOW TV customers without a Sky Sports Pass only. The offer price is valid for three months. Once your offer period ends your Sky Sports Month Pass will automatically renew at £33.99 per month unless cancelled. That said, you can cancel anytime. You must redeem your voucher by 23.59 on 28th February 2019 to qualify. NOW TV Combo customers are excluded from the offer. You can only have one Sky Sports Pass in your account at any one time. This offer is not available with any other offers. One offer per customer. See nowtv.com for compatible devices. Red button and interactive services are unavailable. All live scheduling may be subject to change.

With the recent price rises for both the '1-Day' and '1-Week' Sky Sports Passes from 'NOW TV' this latest offer on their '1-Month' Sky Sports Pass represents even better value for money by comparison. The increase from £7.99 to £8.99 for the '1-Day' pass, plus the rise from £12.99 to £14.99 for access to Sky Sports via their '1-Week' pass, makes it feel like 'NOW TV' are really putting the squeeze on those who choose to watch over the short term. The flip-side of that, however, means anyone who is able to take advantage of the current '1-Month' pass offer will be getting a real bargain... paying only five pounds more than the cost of a '1-Week' Sky Sports pass but, by so-doing, able to watch all of the 'Sky Sports' channels through 'NOW TV' for a whole month - as opposed to just seven days !! :-D

Before I get into the current list of channels, I'd just like to mention that the issue of 'undefined' apps (i.e. those with no permanent category shown in the web channel store description) still doesn't seem to have been resolved. Unfortunately, the situation has again worsened over the last seven days with neither Roku and/or the developers appearing to have sorted-out whatever problem has been causing so many new channels to be added without a permanent category. My 'Weekly RoundUp' posts have seen a total of 783 new channels added in the last eight weeks... however, the corresponding channel totals from individual genres (i.e. categories) within the Roku (UK) Channel Store over that time-frame would suggest that only 373 new channels were added. This means more than half of the recent additions over the last month or so are un-accounted for within the channel store. Likewise, the number of 'Roku Guide' reviews being published has continued to fall short of the mark during that period. Looking at all of the articles they have published since the start of the year, there has been a total of only 253 new reviews added to their website. As with the (UK) channel store totals, this is at least two-thirds shy of what there should be and if things continue as they are, there may be hundreds (if not thousands) of Roku channels without a corresponding independent review for me to provide a link from the relevant 'Weekly RoundUp' posts on my blog. Hopefully, this shortfall will be addressed (sooner, rather than later) because, as I mentioned four weeks ago, the current state of affairs is not good for anyone with a connection to the Roku platform... whether end-users, developers, bloggers like myself, reviewers such as 'Roku Guide', or even Roku - who seem blissfully unaware of it all !!


Meanwhile, 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 and three quarter years, there's a *lot* to catch-up on. So, without further ado, here's my 'Weekly RoundUp' of all the new Roku channels released between 17th February 2019 and 23rd February 2019:-

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



Anyhow, like it or not, that is your lot this week and, while I don't yet have an exact figure for the new apps which were added to the "Official" Roku USA Channel Store in the same time-frame, at least you have 86 NEW CHANNELS to keep you occupied while I check the numbers! ;-) :-) Meanwhile, for those still clinging-on to their NowTV device(s) for whatever reason, I'm afraid to say that, much like most weeks, there were zero new Roku channels (apps) added to the 'App Store' on NOW TV products... meaning the total number of available apps remains at just forty-five! :-(


Moreover, with no 'TVPlayer' or 'Prime Video' apps (to name but two) among the selection of channels found in the NOW TV 'App Store' - despite having dedicated channels for both of them on UK Roku devices - the range of NowTV-branded products continues to fall short of the mark in terms of current streaming needs for many in the UK. So, the best way to increase your choice of streaming services, is to swap any NowTV-branded products you own for genuine Roku-branded media players which can provide access to 6,100+ apps of content from a vast assortment of providers! :-D ;-)


In any event, hopefully everyone in the UK with a Roku player managed to find something they like within the eighty-six "public" channels outlined above... or else the "private" channels "gifted" to you via the companion Twitter Feed: @ukrokuchannels to this blog, at various points over the past five and three quarter years. However, if you didn't find anything to add to your Roku channel selection from the assortment of apps 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. After all, there's no point installing every app because, like I say... when it comes to adding new channels to Roku devices, IT'S YOUR CHOICE and, as with all things Roku... THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS YOURS!



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


As touched upon previously, you can expect my usual summary of all the goings-on (or not) in the (severely restricted) Roku Channel Store (aka "App Store") that features on NowTV devices to carry on in future posts. Meanwhile, whether you happen to own a Roku player, 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 two hundred and thirty-seven preceding weeks, then come back again in seven days' time for my next 'Weekly RoundUp'. Hopefully, by the time I make my next post, I may even have sorted out another (new) companion Twitter Feed to replace the now suspended: @ukrokuchannels account so there'll still be a presence on the social media platform via which up-to-the-minute info on Roku-related matters (here in the UK) is posted on a daily basis!



Until the next time, then...



That's all folks !!
