I have the same issue!

I have been advised that the Britbox App has not yet been released in the UK so I’ve gone to the Firestick and loaded onto there.

I've had to do the same.  Firestick with BritBox but no NowTV; Roku box with NowTV but no BritBox.  Whichever streaming box addresses this first I will get rid of the other one - having to have two or more streaming boxes is crazy!!

Is the operative word "yet"? Does that mean its planned?

Hi.

I guess this is the right thread. I've just bought a Streambar which does have the right UK channels for me - except Britbox - at least it's not in the app store.

The annoying thing is that there a a few reviews out there that claim Britbox to be available on Streambar, but I'm now suspecting that is only true in the US. THAT is totally unfair if we can't have it!

I’ve posted the issue to Britbox CS and have been advised that it is available on a number of individual tv models. 

I find it very strange that the Britbox service has been launched - and widely advertised in UK - when it can only be viewed via a browser or select TV models. It would have made much more sense to get it launched on major viewing platforms first - Sky, Virgin, BT etc.

...should have said, I'm in the UK.

PS. Now find out the the sub woofer is also not available in the UK.

Hi Johnr08.

It might be on Roku TVs, but I don't have one of those.

Here in the UK the Roku Stick has Britbox, but it doesn't appear to be available for the Roku Streambar. Why have it on some Roku products but not another - especially as it seems to be available on the US Streambar?!
