@Swen1, in general when you subscribe to something through Roku you can only use that subscription on Roku devices.  You can try signing in on the Britbox site using the email address associated with your Roku account (as displayed under Settings->System->About) and use the "forgot password" option.  That may give you the credentials you can use on other devices.  If it doesn't work, the other option if you want to view on other devices is to cancel your subscription through Roku and take out a subscription directly with Britbox.  You can then use that subscription on any device you like.

Re: Please advise: Viewing Roku on an iPad

Ok, this should be simple, but the answers are unclear.

I have a Roku stick plugged into my TV, and with it I can watch all kinds of content.

I also have an ipad, and I have installed the Roku app.  That allows me to use the ipad as a remote control for the Roku stick, but that’s not what this question is about. 

i want to use my iPad to watch the Roku channel content on my iPad.  Nothing to do with the stick and TV.  How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

@PopeyeTheSailor, if you're speaking of The Roku Channel which is an app on Roku devices, you can use the mobile app or the website to watch the free content that's available there.  If you want to use any other app that's available on a Roku device on your iPad, you'll need to find an equivalent iOS app.  The mobile app is not a substitute for an actual Roku device.

Roku Mobile App - Free for iOS® or Android™ | Roku

Caveat:  I don't have any Apple device, so I'm assuming that whatever's available on the Android app is available on the iOS app.  I also have better luck using the website than the mobile app.
