Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #340





Hi, everyone !!



After a bit of a dip in the number of new channels last week, compared to the significantly larger list of apps from the seven day period prior to that, I'm glad to say things appear to be "on the up" again as we've had YET ANOTHER MAMMOTH CROP OF NEW CHANNEL RELEASES to further boost the Roku Channel Store total. To wit, ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY-EIGHT NEW ROKU APPS have just been added to the already vast selection of over seven thousand nine hundred apps which populated the Roku UK Channel Store as of this time last week. That means we've now been blessed with more than three thousand seven hundred new apps, in a period of only thirty-seven weeks, any of which UK Roku owners could add to the selection of apps installed on their device(s). As if that wasn't enough... there were also several items of streaming-related news for me to report on this week but, unfortunately, I will (once more) need to postpone my summary of Roku (and other) news from the past seven days until I find time to catch-up with everything and add the "missing" details to this post - since, right now, I must focus on listing those one hundred and twenty-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 for this blog. Over the last thirty-seven weeks, my 'Weekly RoundUp' posts have seen a total of 3,739 new channels added. Meanwhile, the number of 'Roku Guide' reviews being published during that time has continued to fall short of the mark. Quite how they managed to only produce 17 reviews, with just four from the current week; ten more from last week, and; two that featured in my 'Weekly RoundUp #338' post from two weeks ago; along with a single US-only app, when there were upwards of 120+ new Roku channels released in the past seven days, is beyond me! Unfortunately, this cannot be seen as being an exception to the rule... because, digging through their archives, it soon becomes clear that this has been happening all too frequently. Looking at all of the articles they have published since the start of the year, there has been a total of only 986 new reviews added to their website. With a minimum of one hundred and twenty-four "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 'Weekly RoundUp' posts on my blog. I hope this shortfall is addressed soon because, as mentioned 33 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' compile 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 a half 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 8th September 2019 and 14th September 2019:-

KENYA TV............................................................COST: £0.69 (MONTHLY) [Roku Guide Review]

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

PLEASE NOTE:- That, at the time of it's initial release, this 'Kenya TV' channel for Roku devices was both FREE-TO-ADD and FREE-TO-STREAM... but, less than one week later, a subscription charge of GBP £0.69 PER MONTH had been applied. Were it not for the fact that the same thing has been done for multiple other channels - all with 'Lomitos Crew' credited as the developer - then I may have accepted this as mere oversight on behalf of the developer but, if these channels are being made available free (in the first instance) only for the developer to start levying a fee shortly thereafter, it's suggestive of a more deliberate (and possibly deceptive) practice on their part. So my advice, for any Roku owners who may be considering apps of this sort, is to check who was credited as the developer and, if 'Lomitos Crew' is mentioned in the description from the Roku Channel Store, to be aware that a subscription fee could be applied to the channel at any time - even if that was not the case initially!

Given how the developer of this (and other) recent app(s), each bearing the 'TV.AllSuper.Info' label, appears to favour the release of multiple apps with (almost) identical content - effectively "spamming" the channel store with their brand - I would not be surprised to see another "new" one next month with a (slightly) different name (perhaps with "The" at the front) making the title for a (potential) third version of this same app 'The Driving Force Within' - but I really hope they don't!

HALFTIME MOVIES.........................................COST: £1.49 (MONTHLY) [Roku Guide Review]

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

PLEASE NOTE:- That, while this new 'Halftime Movies' 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 the 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 word "Halftime" 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 week or two (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 end of September (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 the 'Film & TV' or 'Special Interest' genre, but it could (possibly) wind-up in another category.

HOW TO GET THINGS DONE....................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]

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

PLEASE NOTE:- That this 'How to Get Things Done' channel should not be confused with an earlier app release - known by the (slightly) different name of 'Getting Things Done' - which was featured on this blog as part of my 'Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #335' post just over a month ago. Were it not for the difference in their unique channel store identifiers I could (again) have easily written this off as an existing app, believing (as with 'Driving The Force Within', mentioned earlier in this post) that it was nothing more than an updated version of the 'Getting Things Done' channel, which had been re-submitted to the channel store among the other 'Just Added' Roku apps. Instead we see another example of multiple apps, each bearing the 'TV.AllSuper.Info' label, with similar content - further "spamming" the channel store - and I hope Roku put a stop to their shenanigans!







DAILY AFFIRMATION HANDBOOK.........................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]

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

PLEASE NOTE:- That this 'Daily Affirmation Handbook' channel should not be confused with an earlier app release - known by the (slightly) longer name of 'The Daily Affirmation Handbook' - that featured as part of my 'Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #335' post just over a month ago. Once more, were it not for the difference in their unique channel store identifiers, I could have easily written this off as an existing app, believing (as with other similar apps, mentioned earlier in this post) that it was nothing more than an updated version of 'The Daily Affirmation Handbook' channel, which had been re-submitted to the channel store among the other 'Just Added' Roku apps. Instead we get even more "spamming" of the channel store... which not only reflects poorly on this developer, but also the Roku platform and I really wish this developer would adopt a more creative approach! :-/

PLEASE NOTE:- That this 'Dev Emotional Intelligence' channel should not be confused with an earlier app release - known by the (slightly) longer name of 'Develop Emotional Intelligence' - which featured as part of my 'Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #334' post around six weeks ago. Yet again, were it not for the difference in their unique channel store identifiers I could easily have written this off as an existing app, believing (as with 'Driving The Force Within', and 'How To Get Things Done' plus 'Daily Affirmation Handbook', mentioned earlier in this post) that this was nothing more than an updated version of the 'Develop Emotional Intelligence' channel, which was assigned a shorter name and re-submitted to the channel store, among the other 'Just Added' Roku apps. Instead we see another example of multiple apps, bearing the 'TV.AllSuper.Info' label, all with similar content - serving no useful purpose and just "spamming" the channel store with more of the same! :-(

ASTONISHING POWER OF THINKING....................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]

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

PLEASE NOTE:- That this 'Astonishing Power of Thinking' channel should not be confused with an earlier app release - known by the (slightly) different name of 'The Power of Positive Thinking' - that featured in my 'Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #335' post from around one month ago. As with other examples mentioned earlier in this post, were it not for an obvious difference in their unique channel store identifiers, I could easily have written this off as an existing app, believing it was nothing more than an updated version of 'The Power of Positive Thinking', which was assigned a different name and then re-submitted to the channel store, among the other 'Just Added' Roku apps. Instead we see yet another example of multiple apps, each bearing the 'TV.AllSuper.Info' label, again with similar content - and further "spamming" the channel store with more of the same! :-(








THE HAPPINESS STARTS WITH YOU......................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]

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

PLEASE NOTE:- That this 'The Happiness Starts With You' channel should not be confused with an earlier app release - known by the (slightly) shorter name of 'Happiness Starts With You' - that was featured as part of my 'Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #335' post just over a month ago. As evidenced elsewhere in this post, here we see another example of multiple apps bearing the 'TV.AllSuper.Info' label, and, were it not for a difference in their unique channel store identifiers, I could just as easily have also written this off as an existing app, believing it (once more) that it was nothing more than an updated version of the 'Happiness Starts With You' channel, which was given a longer name and then re-submitted to the channel store, among the other 'Just Added' Roku apps. Instead, we get further "spamming" of the channel store... with more "clones" of the same app! :-/

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



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 128 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 8,000+ 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 twenty-eight "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 a half 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 sixty-six 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 !!
