Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #10



Hello, everyone !!


In a week that has seen the SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT from Roku that they are now allowing Roku owners worldwide to manually update their players with the new Roku interface, you could easily be forgiven for thinking that this might lead to yet another week with little or no new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store. Fortunately, as you will soon find out, this wasn't the case !!


Meanwhile, as well as the new channels, we've also had more new readers coming to this blog. As always, there were plenty of repeat visits from the countries I've mentioned in previous posts but this week, unusually, there was just one country that had not featured previously. So, before we go any further with this 'Weekly RoundUp', I'd like to extend a warm welcome to those new readers from Kenya, who took the time to pay a maiden visit to these pages during the past seven days, or so.


To those new readers, and to everyone else who continues to read my Roku-related ramblings here on this blog, I'd just like to say... "Thanks for stopping by" & long may you continue to do so.


Anyway, let's get on with the details for the current 'Weekly RoundUp' of NEW ADDITIONS to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store. This time, there are TWELVE NEW CHANNELS which have been added during the past seven days. This handful of latest additions to the Roku UK Channel Store provided FRESH CONTENT to the Film & TV, News, Weather, Sport, Music, Internet TV, Photos & Video, Screensavers & Apps 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 (where available) for each one:-

MORE QUOTES FROM SHAKESPEARE.................COST: £0.69 (ONE-OFF) [Roku Guide Review]

DELIGHT DIRECT IPTV...........................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]


N.B. Since this channel does not currently feature in the Roku (USA) Channel Store, the link above is for the Official Website of Delight Direct IPTV. It may interest you to know that the Delight Direct IPTV channel currently features just one SUB-CHANNEL called "Live TV" which incorporates a CHANNEL ARRAY that includes LIVE STREAMS of Delight TV, Revelation TV, Love World TV, Angel TV, Doers TV, WCC TV, Shalom Television, Bible Discovery TV, EWTN, Miracle Channel, Almavision and the Christian Youth Channel (CYC). The Delight Direct IPTV channel was developed for Roku by Cherri Technologies who are a Web Development company, based in Pondicherry & Chennai, in India. You can also connect with Cherri Technologies via the developer's Twitter Feed: @CherriTechnolog if you'd like to know more about their current / future plans for Roku channels and/or web development. Additionally, and no doubt due (again) to the fact that the Delight Direct IPTV channel has not yet been added to the "Official" Roku USA Channel Store, there is no Roku Guide Review available. If & when this situation changes, I will add a link to this post.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: The Roku UK Channel Store description states that the content of this channel is suitable for "ALL AGES". The channel details go on to suggest that the service "MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FEES" although, I have to say that, ALL of the CURRENT CONTENT found on the Delight Direct IPTV channel is FREE TO VIEW. This does, however, suggest that PAID CONTENT may be added at some time in the future. Details to follow, as and when...






INDIE CRUSH.........................................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]






OXFORD BIBLE CHURCH.......................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]




Well, I'm afraid to say, that is your lot for this week and, whilst it doesn't quite the match-up to the twenty-two 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 rather than none at all, don't you ?!!


Still, hopefully you'll manage to find something you like within the twelve channels outlined above. If not, then just 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 streaming media player, IT'S YOUR CHOICE and, as with all things Roku... THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS YOURS !!


So, be sure to come back in seven days' time for my next 'Weekly RoundUp' and, if you can't wait that long, remember you can always keep up with the UK Roku action (as it happens) throughout the coming week, by following our 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 !!
