Hi, everyone !!
Once again, I'm attempting to squeeze in two blog posts in one day on a Saturday, due to my having to update another of my channel store listings... the idea being that I will complete one per day throughout December, so as to be fully up-to-date before the festivities kick-in at the end of the month. Fortunately, as was the case last week, there haven't been many new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store during the past seven days... although, like before, there were lots of extra details for some of those we did get, and a couple of "missing" reviews which were not available from 'Roku Guide' at the time this post was first compiled. So, being (yet again) rather pushed for time, I'm going to have to maintain my recent trend of jumping straight into the list of new channel additions and then fleshing-out the Roku-related news aspects of the article and other "missing" details as and when I get chance. Anyway, without further ado, here goes:-
INDIEPORCH........................................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]
***FILED UNDER: "FILM & TV" in Roku UK Channel Store WHEN FIRST RELEASED***
OUTDOOR ACTION TV.....................................................COST: FREE [Roku Guide Review]
***FILED UNDER: "SPORTS" in the Roku UK Channel Store WHEN FIRST RELEASED***
PLEASE NOTE:- That both the channel description from the Roku website and the 'Roku Guide' review of the "Outdoor Action TV" channel both reference "CarecoTV" in the links provided. This is not an error but a relic of the original title by which the channel was known at the time it was created. Since it was approved for inclusion in the "Official" Roku Channel Store under that name, the links will remain as provided here. Unfortunately, while the developer is able to change the name of the channel (itself) there is no facility for altering the link(s) which is why I have added this note... in an attempt to avoid any confusion over the links I've included above. Hope that clears things up! :-)

SPHERESAVER...........................COST: £1.49 (ONE-OFF PAYMENT) [Roku Guide Review]
***FILED UNDER: "SCREENSAVERS" in Roku UK Channel Store WHEN RELEASED***
PLEASE NOTE:- That the developer has made a short SphereSaver (YouTube Video) promotional trailer which gives a brief animated view of each of the FIVE DIFFERENT THEMES available with this 'SphereSaver' Roku screensaver (Bubbles, Spooky, Holiday, Micro & Sports) as well as illustrating the customizable aspects in which the size, count and speed of the "spheres" can all be adjusted. If you are wondering why I didn't include the video here... it's because, despite searching for "SphereSaver" and "Austin Sojka" (the 'YouTube' user who uploaded the video), the 'Blogger' video search function did not include it in the results for 'YouTube' videos when I tried to locate it using those terms. Even so, I recommend that you use the above link to watch the video promo because you'll get a much better idea of what to expect from this 'SphereSaver' Roku screensaver. My personal favourite is the 'Spooky' theme where the "spheres" look like floating "eyeballs"... but I couldn't help thinking "if only it had been ready in time for Hallowe'en" - oh, well... guess I'll use the 'Holiday' theme for now, instead! ;-)
