Channels & viewing

[HBJ13]

I have just connected my express & am unable to find any UK channels like iPlayer, ITV HUB, All 4, etc which is the main reason I bought it. I have confirmed that my email account is UK & my IP address is also here, shows up as being in London. I have factory reset & even created a new account with a 2nd UK email address. Please help as I’m getting ready to throw it out the window……..

Many thanks in advance

1) Make sure you arent using a VPN

2) Some models are location restricted - was this device bought in the UK/from UK retailer?

Thanks. I’m not using a VPN, I bought it from Amazon UK 2 days ago so I’m confused. No reason why it should think I’m in the USA as far as I can see but it lists all the US channels & is priced in $! Very frustrating!!

1)  Re-verify you arent using a VPN (have you ever used one with your current networking setup?)

2)  Verify your browser settings - are you connecting to the US or UK roku.com? 

US=https://www.roku.com

UK=https://www.roku.com/en-gb/

This can be changed at the bottom of the page...

3)  Verify your email address is in fact UK-based

4)  Provide the full model name & number and firmware version:  Settings/System/About 

(Type the provided "Model" and "Software version" information exactly as shown - do not leave anything out)

Otherwise, contact Roku Support:   +44 203 684 1123

and/or message @RokuDanny-R

Hi

Managed to get through to the HD & they have done it. I had to close my account (hence the new user name), click on the Roku logo in the top left of the page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and change the country from USA to UK. 
many thanks for your help

Glad its resolved - sounds like it was the browser setting.

How did u find that as mine won't let me download bbc iplayer or now tv. I bought this as my now tv stick stopped working and was advised by now to get but it isn't working. I'm paying for now but currently not using it 😤😤😤

First, confirm that you are in the UK.

If so, are you on one of the islands/British Crown Dependencies? Channel Islands have sometimes reported issues with location determination. I think Isle of Man has as well.

Assuming you're not on one of the British Crown Dependencies, are you using a VPN? Using a browser, does your location indicate you are not in the UK?

Is your Roku account set up in the UK? Did you set it up elsewhere and are now in the UK attempting to use it?
