Roku players are no longer available in the UK. to see go to the Roku website, players and where to buy and all players are out of stock and have been for some months now.

The player B and M sold, if it was the white se model then that is not listed on the  UK site so you may have a grey import.

 

You may need to get a fire stick to replace or upgrade the Roku as these are available and fully supported in the UK
