Still no Britbox and Discovery + for the UK, shocking, why, no matter who you contact ie Roku Britbox or Discovery +, same old generic answers and blaming each other, although I love my Roku devices I have the streambar ( now disconnected ) and 2 streaming stick +, only one connected just to watch Roku channel, and finally a Roku tv in dining room, again just for Roku channel, why can’t someone have a streaming device with everything on it, fed up of having multiple devices on all my tv’s, just bought myself an Apple TV 4K that’s got everything I watch on it minus the Roku channel, I bought 2 chromecast with google tv, no longer used due to app shortage, I didn’t want to cast to my tv, so now they’re gathering dust in the cupboard, I’m sure all the streaming device manufacturers are in it together trying to force people to buy multiple devices, end of rant.

The app publishers select which countries/regions the app is available when they publish their apps to the Roku servers (Roku doesnt control this at all).

So you'd need to directly contact BritBox and Discovery+ about access to content in the UK (there are almost always licensing/legal restrictions related to location/country).

As for having multiple streaming devices, thats a good thing - a multiplatform streaming strategy is necessary to deal with issues related to app carriage/compatibility/functionality/availability and bad firmware/software updates etc.

There is no single streaming device/platform that has everything, or the best quality of everything, so if you do "want it all" you'll need to follow the multiplatform streaming strategy as well.

Outside the US, licensing restrictions/limitations are the biggest factor impacting your access to content, so keep that in mind, regardless of platform(s) used.
