Will US bought Roku work in the UK?

I have a USA bought Roku tv, but living in the UK. I am trying to download NOWTv to use on the TV, but I'm not getting the UK version (US version is a news channel, not a streaming service). Is there a way to allow this?

@SuzG12 

Was this originally set up while in the US?  If so, your account, and thus your Channel Store, is identified as a US account wherever you happen to be at the time.

The easiest and quickest way to fix this is to do a Factory reset on the Roku and set it back up from scratch using a UK-based internet connection, and a new Roku account (i.e. linked to a different email address).  To be sure it all "took", I'd try to use a UK-based email address, although I don't know for sure if that is necessary.

Factory Reset is found under Settings > System > Advanced system settings
