it's showing as £69 when I follow the link.

Not sure this is accurate as rarflex got absorbed into plex app anyway (if you follow that link)

I bought a Roku 3 to upgrade my NowTV box as it was starting to struggle with some streams, never looked back. UK Channel selection is ****, and these things DO NOT LIKE Virgin Media Superhubs (had to activate developer mode before it was let through) but otherwise a lovely piece of kit, I might pick up one to register via proxy as a US device to get the expanded channel selection

That was VERY SMART!, hehehe. :-)

I'll look into trying same trick for something else at Currys, etc, lol, as it'll be £70 there now.

Thanx anyway ...

shows £69.99 now.

No kodi no party

In IOS i downloaded the Zeek app. It is titled Zeek: The Gift Voucher App.
Ke22er posted this a few days ago about the deal they currently have: http://www.hotukdeals.com/vouchers/10-off-zeek-vouchers-top-existing-discounts-2611568?m=1

I used the code on the app, brought the vouchers from currys and used this to buy my Roku. Some retailers send you gift cards, but some (like Currys) instantaneously give you the gift card information in the app so that you can make your purchase. Very simple process.

I purchased this a few days ago getting price match from Currys, and using the £10 voucher savings using Zeek app with promo code MSE10. I therefore paid around £39 for this ROKU.

Ordered, wanted to replace a Roku stick for something a bit zippier and with the option for a wired connection.

I may be misinformed bit I believe sky either bought roku or the UK rights to roku!

I like my Roku it's great having one device that does Netflix, Amazon & Now TV. Remote being RF is also good, it means you don't need line of sight to the box for it to work. It's a bit odd though why the UK is being left behind with these old boxes (these boxes are well over 3 years old which is a huge amount of time for a tech product). Boxes are fine if you don't need 4K, but it does make you wonder if Roku are ever going to offer the newer boxes to the UK market.

Rarflix is better than Plex on these devices https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/79897/rarflix-modified-roku-channel

Now if only a few million more sleepwalkers would follow this example......

Nice one, thanks, been looking to get one of these

how does this compare to a normal android box and how much storage does it have. i hav a youview box which doesnt have amazon prime and is really slow.

Heat from me. I've got the Roku 2 and it's superb

Nice. :-)

How do you get amazon to pricematch? All my local tesco's shut down.

Edit: Never mind, screw amazon, there's a tesco near the train station I get off at near work apparently.

​From what i have read yes.

We don't have a 4k TV so it is of little interest to me at this point.
Not many seem to be selling it and some mixed opinions from the few who have reviewed it over at Amazon.

u mean this one looks good https://www.roku.com/products/roku-ultra

​I read (Roku forums) that Roku discontinued the 4 in October of last year. Their premium players are now the Premiere and Ultra afaik.

Good price and I'll bite.

A pity that kodi can't be installed on it, but at least there is Plex.

Heat added

No, but they did say they'd get back to me in two years when I told them I wasn't paying the licence fee.

wait for roku ultra that plays 4k if u got 4ktv but great price if u don't need 4k http://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/av-accessories/roku-4-1307683/review

Roku is my main source of TV nowadays since I stopped paying the BBC licence. I'd advise connecting through Ethernet, if possible, as mine seems to struggle at times on wifi.

It looks like Roku have abandoned the UK market. None of their latest generation of devices have been released here.

Brilliant device, well worth this price.

Great price

great little device, headphone socket on remote is particularly good
