Official Roku UK Channel Store - Overview

When it comes to what's on television, be it via a Roku player or otherwise, it should really boil down to the QUALITY and NOT QUANTITY of what's on offer, don't you agree?


That said, if what you get has both quality and quantity, then you really will be spoilt for choice !!


If you visited the Roku (UK) official site as of April 2017 you would have been greeted with an introduction that boasted of "over 2,000 channels and counting", which does (I'll admit) tend to emphasise quantity over quality, although the reality is such that there are now more than double that number of Roku channels (apps) available to UK Roku users from within the built-in channel store on *all* Roku UK devices. In terms of the quality for the available channels, there were references to BBC iPlayer, Netflix, NOW TV, Sky Sports, ITV Player, Demand 5, YouTube, BBC Sport and many more. Even so, whilst the likes of Netflix, BBC, NOW TV, etc. do offer a substantial amount of quality programming, you're still left wondering exactly what is meant by "and many more"...


So, with that in mind, I decided to continue with my blog by posting details of what you can expect from, firstly, the "Official" Roku (UK) Channel Store and then, later, from the wider market offered by the multitude of Roku "Private" Channels out there. I'll be getting down to the nitty gritty of the individual channels within specific genres another time but, for now, here's a list of the number of channels available in each 'genre' of the "Official" Roku (UK) Channel Store:-


Film & TV........................... 700 Channels
Games.............................. 187 Channels
Apps.................................. 51 Channels
Comedy.............................. 121 Channels
Educational......................... 124 Channels
Fitness.............................. 75 Channels

Food.................................. 158 Channels

International........................ 183 Channels

Kids & Family..................... 396 Channels

Lifestyle.............................. 265 Channels

News & Weather................ 160 Channels
Music................................ 299 Channels
Personal Media.................. 48 Channels
Photo Apps......................... 14 Channels
Religious.............................. 863 Channels
Sci & Tech......................... 60 Channels

Screensavers........................ 253 Channels

Shopping.............................. 18 Channels
Special Interest................... 359 Channels
Sports................................. 248 Channels
Themes.............................. 19 Channels
Travel................................. 217 Channels
Web Video......................... 98 Channels


TOTAL: 4,916 Channels


It should be noted that this total does not include the following:


Featured.............................. 21 Channels
New..................................... 154 Channels
Most Popular....................... 75 Channels


These have been omitted from the overall total because they are comprised entirely of channels which are featured in the main list of genres and, therefore, already part of the 4,916 channels therein. There is also a heading within the main menu on Roku player for "Home" (that was previously referred to as the "My Channels" sub-menu) which, as it's (original) name suggests, is comprised of whatever individual items (both 'official', i.e. 'public', and 'private' channels) have been added to the particular Roku account with which the Roku player is associated. Since that figure will vary from one Roku user to the next, I did not bother to include the number of "My Channels", or "Home" channels, here.

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

PLEASE NOTE:- These figures were last updated on Sunday 20th May 2018 with all details accurate as of Saturday 19th May 2018. Therefore, when viewing this list... you should ignore the original date of the post and, instead, refer to this section for precise details on when it was compiled.

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

So, that's the current state of play in terms of the sheer QUANTITY of channels you can expect from the UK version of the "Official" Roku (UK) Channel Store. Meanwhile, in case you are wondering, my next batch of posts are set to include basic listings for the various channel names within each of the aforementioned genres. For the sake of simplicity, I will stick to the order outlined above. So, if you want to know exactly what are the 700 channels which make up the "Film & TV" genre, you should make a point of visiting this blog again in the near future.


But, for now... that's all folks !!
