Hello again
Something I neglected to mention when I first posted the question:
You can purchase a USA version of the product in the UK from places such as eBay, some new some second hand, but the BBC iPlayer App does not work with them. This is because the BBC security measures to stop non British Isles based users from accessing it, includes a check that the serial number of the Roku item contains the correct area code.
I reckon a lot of people have purchased one of them only to be heartily disappointed that BBC iPlayer won't work.
