Channels & viewing

[krohme]

Hi there,

I'm thinking of getting a Roku device, has this situation been addressed? As in can a UK user of a Roku device watch Freeview style live UK TV content?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you

No, I don't think so.  You can install apps for all the main Freeview channels - BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel4 etc - but there is no app that enables you to watch all the other channels.

There's also still no general EPG - you have to go to each app to look at the schedule for that channel.

Unless, of course, by 'device' you mean a Roku TV.  Or you've got a Freeview enabled TV . . .

Understood - that pretty much answers my question, thanks @PeteBm
