Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #325





Hi, everyone !!



While it doesn't quite match the vast number of new channels released last week, I'm pleased to say that we have, nevertheless, had YET ANOTHER HUGE CROP OF NEW CHANNELS to further boost the UK Channel Store total. To wit, ONE HUNDRED AND TWO NEW ROKU APPS have been added to the already vast selection of over six thousand nine hundred apps which populated the channel store as of this time last week. This means we have now been blessed with over two thousand new apps, during a period of just twenty-two weeks, any of which UK Roku owners can add to the individual selection of apps installed on their device(s). As if that wasn't enough... there are also several items of streaming-related news for me to report on but, unfortunately, I will (once again) need to postpone my summary of all the Roku (and other) news from the past seven days until I can find time to catch-up with everything and add the "missing" details to this post - because, right now, I must instead focus on listing all of those one hundred plus new Roku apps for you! ;-) :-)


Before I get into the current list of channels, however, I would just like to point-out that the ongoing issue of "missing" reviews from the 'Roku Guide' website appears to have worsened (yet again) since my previous article on this blog. Over the last twenty-two weeks, my 'Weekly RoundUp' posts have seen a total of 2,045 new channels added. Meanwhile, the number of 'Roku Guide' reviews being published has continued to fall short of the mark during that time. Looking at all of the articles they have published since the start of the year, there has been a total of only 603 new reviews added to their website. With a minimum of around another eighty-one "missing" reviews from the last week they remain more than seventy percent short of where they should be and, if this continues, there could be hundreds (if not thousands) more Roku channels with no corresponding independent review for me to provide a link from each of the relevant 'Weekly RoundUp' posts on my blog. I hope this shortfall is addressed soon because, as mentioned eighteen weeks ago, the current situation isn't good for anyone connected to Roku: be they end-users, developers, bloggers like myself, or even Roku - whose platform provides the very source from which 'Roku Guide' generate their reviews! :-O


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 six and one 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 26th May 2019 and 1st June 2019:-







HIP HOP MOVEMENT.....COST: FREE (n.b. may require additional fees) [Roku Guide Review]

***FILED UNDER: "WEB VIDEO" in Roku UK Channel Store WHEN FIRST RELEASED***

PLEASE NOTE:- That the above PAID VERSION of 'Hip Hop Movement' - for which the channel description includes a warning it "May require additional fees" in order to access the content therein - should not be confused with another FREE VERSION, sharing the exact same title, that is featured later in this list. Unfortunately the channel icon (aka "HD Poster" image) is identical for both apps so, before you install either 'Hip Hop Movement' app, please be sure to check the description in the Roku Channel Store to ascertain which of the two versions you have selected to add to your app selection. The unique channel store identifier is different for each one which suggests they were intentionally added as individual apps but, at the time of writing, it is not known whether the developer will allow both to remain available for install... or if one will be removed. Of course, if the two versions are to remain in the Roku Channel Store, it would be easier if the developer were to rename one (or both) of them to clarify which is which. Needless to say, whatever the outcome, I'll update this post to reflect any changes that are made to either one. Until then, it might be best to stick with the free one! ;-) :-D

VIEW FROM ABOVE.............................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]

***FILED UNDER: "SCI & TECH" in Roku UK Channel Store WHEN FIRST RELEASED***

PLEASE NOTE:- That, although the channel icon (aka 'HD Poster' image) for this Roku app has the name clearly displayed as "VIEWS FROM ABOVE" (as in the plural sense), the developer has entered the title as "View from above" (as in the singular sense) so (presumably?) one of these is incorrect. Whatever the reason for their error, I thought it best to point-out this peculiarity so as to make clear that it was not a misspelling of the channel name "View From Above" on my part! ;-) :-)

NOTHING ELSE ON TV..................COST: FREE + $4.99 (MONTHLY) [Roku Guide Review]

***FILED UNDER: "FILM & TV" in Roku UK Channel Store WHEN FIRST RELEASED***

PLEASE NOTE:- That, despite this 'Nothing Else On TV' channel being FREE-TO-ADD to your Roku device(s) and allowing Roku users to browse the content library prior to any payment(s) being taken, those with a keen interest in wrestling to whom this will likely appeal the most should be aware that A SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE REQUIRED at a cost of USD $4.99 PER MONTH in order to stream any of the video content offered through this app. While the 'Roku Guide' review provides a fairly decent overview of the various independent wrestling organisations whose events are featured as part of the content library, you'll find there is much more in-depth information to be gleaned from the official 'Nothing Else On TV' website and, if you have further unanswered questions, there is also their official FB Page: TV Nothing Else On (Facebook) and Twitter Feed: @TVNothingElseOn with which to connect with 'Nothing Else On TV' through social media should the need arise! ;-) :-D







LAMUSICA..........................................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]

***FILED UNDER: "MUSIC" in the Roku UK Channel Store WHEN FIRST RELEASED***






HIP HOP MOVEMENT...........................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]

***FILED UNDER: "WEB VIDEO" in Roku UK Channel Store WHEN FIRST RELEASED***

PLEASE NOTE:- That the above FREE VERSION of 'Hip Hop Movement' should not be confused with an alternative PAID VERSION, sharing the exact same title, that is featured at the top of this list - for which the channel description includes a warning it "May require additional fees" in order to access the content therein - as mentioned previously. Since the channel icon (aka "HD Poster" image) is identical for both these channels, before you install either 'Hip Hop Movement' app, please be sure to check the description in the Roku Channel Store to ascertain which of the two versions you have selected to add to the channel selection on your own device(s). The unique channel store identifier is different for each one but, although it suggests they were intentionally added as individual apps, at the time of writing it was unclear whether the developer would allow both to remain available for install... or if one will be removed. Of course, if the two versions are to remain in the Roku Channel Store, it would be easier if the developer were to rename one (or both) of them to clarify which is which. Needless to say, whatever the outcome, I will update this post to reflect any changes that are made by the developer to either one.

PICKURFLICK SNEAK PEAK...................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]

***FILED UNDER: "SPECIAL INTEREST" in Roku UK Channel Store WHEN RELEASED***

PLEASE NOTE:- That, although there is clearly no mention of a "Sneak Peak" (sic) on the channel icon (aka "HD Poster" image) for this 'Pickurflick Sneak Peak' app, I'm assuming the use of the word "peak" (as in "mountain top", to name but one example) - rather than "peek" (as in a "quick look" at something) - was a "typo" made by the developer when entering the title for their app to be displayed in the Roku Channel Store. Whatever the reason for using "sneak peak" instead of "sneak peek" when providing a title for their app, I thought it best to point-out this peculiarity so as to make clear that the channel name "Pickurflick Sneak Peak" is represented here in the format originally assigned to it by the developer and not as the result of any spelling mistake / grammatical error on my part! ;-) :-)

PLEASE NOTE:- That, although the channel icon (aka 'HD Poster' image) for this Roku app has the name clearly displayed as "Sitcom Time", the developer has entered the title as "Sitcome Time" so (presumably?) one of these is incorrect. Whatever the reason for using "Sitcome Time" instead of "Sitcom Time" when providing a title for their app, I thought it best to point-out this peculiarity so as to make clear that the channel name "Sitcome Time" is represented here in the format assigned to it by the developer and not as the result of any spelling mistake / grammatical error on my part! ;-) :-)

FREE GRINDHOUSE VIDEOS..................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]

***N.B. THIS WAS UNCATEGORISED in the Roku UK Channel Store WHEN RELEASED***

PLEASE NOTE:- That, while this 'Free Grindhouse Videos' channel for Roku devices can be found within the 'Just Added' category (i.e. genre) of the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store, no permanent category / genre had (at the time of writing) been assigned to this channel in the UK. If I somehow succeed in bringing this matter to the attention of the developer / content provider, I'd expect to see this app given a permanent "home" under 'Film & TV' or 'Special Interest' in the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store within a few weeks of so-doing. In the meantime, if you don't wish to trawl through the 'Just Added' category of the channel store to find it, I suggest you take advantage of the built-in Roku 'Search' feature to locate and install it. Using this method, you probably won't even need to finish typing the words "Free Grindhouse" before seeing the channel listed among the 'Search Results' displayed on the right-hand side of your television screen. Failure to assign a permanent channel store category for the UK within the next two weeks (however) would mean that, once it ceases to be part of the 'Just Added' category, it would no longer be listed in the channel store. So, if you think you're likely to want this channel, my advice would be to install it by the middle of June (at the latest) because, if the necessary edits are not made to the Roku channel package (.PKG file) by that time, you will not see it there afterwards. Needless to say, if/when the channel is edited to include a permanent channel store category for the UK, I'll update this listing with details of whatever genre has been assigned to it. As mentioned above I'd expect this to be either the 'Film & TV' or 'Special Interest' genre, but it could (possibly) wind-up in another category.

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



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 another 102 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-one! :-(


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 6,900+ 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 one hundred and two "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 six and one quarter years. However, if you didn't find anything to add to your own Roku channel selection from the vast 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, when it comes to adding new channels to your 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 previously) for details of all new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store in each of the two hundred and fifty-one 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 !!
