Please release the Roku Ultra in the UK

I know I'm probably yelling into the wind here but please consider releasing the Roku Ultra in the UK. We have not received a single iteration of the Ultra over the years, and the new one looks great. I would import it but iPlayer won't work on it.

    Hi, pabulous.

    Greetings from the Roku Community!

    We don’t have specific release details for the UK just yet but stay tuned for updates on Roku.com or the Roku blog for the ultimate scoop.

    I'm in the same boat although I don't use iPlayer or any other UK TV streaming services. Primarily use my current Roku for Plex.

    We've never had a release of the Roku Ultra or some of the other products like wireless speakers and/or subwoofer which is really disappointing. Most of the people I know use Rokus from recommendations I've given them and overall have been very pleased with whichever model they purchased.

    My Roku Premiere from 2019 is finally giving up after being an absolute trooper for nearly 5 years. At the moment, the Apple TV 4K and Google TV are looking promising to replace it as there is no Roku alternatives. Particularly something with ethernet and/or good enough Wi-Fi. I really don't want to switch from Roku but unless they released the Ultra soon, I'll have no choice. 😞

      Same as above. I've had more Roku devices than I can count in the last 10+ years, with 3 actively in use across the house, currently.

      I do use iPlayer and would really rather get the new Ultra than switch platform, but my current Express 4K on the main TV has been struggling with Plex for a while now.

      If the new Ultra 4k isn't released over here before Xmas, I'll have no choice but to swap it for the new Google TV streamer

        Roku ultra will not be released in the uk yet again, best option is to wait for a price drop on Amazon.com and get it imported/shipped to the uk like i did for £104.61 roku ultra 4850x . The way around the power supply for this model is to buy a  2.1mm to 1.7mm x 4.8mm DC Power Supply Adapter Converter Connector and a 3 pin UGREEN Switching Adaptor 12v 2a 5.5mm 2.1mm DC Jack.
