What's the included supplement for Bitter Victory? That's A+ Ray and hope it comes from Criterion on physical media.

The current PQ for Jeanne Dielman has been upgraded from the very SD version I tried to stream several months ago.

Two minute short, Jonathan Lethem on BITTER VICTORY.

Criterion Channel adds:

Blow Out
Arrest Bulldog Drummond

EDIT:

also

The Night Heaven Fell

EDIT2:

Blow Out - + 5 supplements, including Murder a la Mod

Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman": Criterion Collection Edition #679 theme page with all 25 films.

If this thing were available via any television platforms that'd be the tipping point for subscribing. But, alas,

Chromecast is a television platform, and a cheap one; it'll be available more widely soon, though, hopefully, maybe

(I think all the Zatoichi films have been on the platform anyway)

As of this evening (May 4, 2017), Filmstruck is sending out invitations to become a beta tester for the Roku version. One may sign up for this (if one hasn't already received an invitation) on the Filmstruck help page.

Criterion Channel adds:

The Marriage of Chiffon
The Element of Crime, + 1 supplement
Europa, + 9 supplements
Douce
Sylvia and the Phantom

There's a page up (non-Criterion Channel) for Rivette's THE NUN, possibly the single most exciting title I've seen Filmstruck offer yet

Any word whatsoever on game consoles? If it took them 6 months+ to get to the point where they only have a beta for Roku, I'm not optimistic, but just checking.

Filmstruck adds:

Under the Sun of Satan
They Killed Sister Dorothy
The Magdalene Sisters
The Nun (1966)
The Mission
The Nun's Story
Marie's Story

EDIT:

Casa de los Babys

Criterion:

Two Tons of Turquoise to Taos Tonight

Today, for the first time, on the chrome browser, films began to dynamically scale to the screen shape of my laptop, 1.66 and 1.33 films are no longer window boxed in a 16:9 frame on my computer.

Borom Sarret Tuesday short added to the Criterion Channel

4 supplements added to Days of Heaven

I'm completely baffled THIS is the closest Criterion has come tangentially to John Sayles so far

Well looks like my Roku 3 may actually be supported. Now to find time to actually try it and Filmstruck out. (I should just delete everything on my dvr...)

Where have you seen an announcement that this IS available on Roku as opposed to due real soon now"?

You can send an email to be considered for Roku beta testing. I just got my invitation and 2 free months today.

I emailed them after reading this and received a prompt response. For those interested, they've closed the enrollment for Roku beta testing but they may "reopen them for a third wave" in the near future.

I'm happy to report I'm no longer hearing any of those audio blips anymore.

It seems like the new ROKU app is working seamlessly with the ROKU TV. I am planning to start the yearly subscription after 2 mos!

Does anyone know if there is an Instantwatcher equivalent for Filmstruck?

Their recent article (updated every Friday, apparently) lists quite a number of notable deletions for the next couple of months.
