Roku is adding the BBC iPlayer to its content partners as the streaming platform commences UK shipments.
Netflix, Fox News and Crackle are also included among 40 partners on the standalone device that connects directly to the TV.
“Roku recognises the importance of region-specific programmes so today we are excited to announce the addition of BBC iPlayer to our platform,” said Clive Hudson, vice president and general manager for Europe at Roku. “This is among the first of many significant content partnerships for Roku in Europe and we look forward to making additional announcements in the coming weeks.”
The two models – Roku LT and Roku 2 XS – are available in the UK and Ireland from retailers and online through Amazon.
