BritBox UK announces Roku launch

August 31, 2021 17.16 Europe/London By Julian Clover

The UK version of BritBox is now available on Roku streaming players and Roku TV models.

Existing BritBox customers can simply log in to the new BritBox channel on their Roku streaming device whilst Roku users who do not yet have BritBox can sign up via their remote control using Roku Pay.

Tom Price, BritBox UK’s Commercial Director said: “We are thrilled to bring the best of British entertainment to Roku, which has been one of the most demanded platforms in customer feedback. Our mission is to make it easy to enjoy BritBox across any device and we now cover all the major streaming devices and smart TV platforms.”

BritBox UK offers subscribers a wide-selection of British box sets including Broadchurch, Downton Abbey, Vera, Only Fools and Horses, Love Island and original exclusive content including The Beast Must Die, Secrets of the Krays and Spitting Image, which will return to the platform later this year.

“We are thrilled to bring BritBox to Roku customers in the UK. It fits our philosophy to always offer the best and diverse entertainment selection to our users. BritBox, with its wide range of British TV series as well as new exciting originals, will add even more choice to our users in the UK,” said Yulia Poltorak, Director International Content Distribution at Roku.

Roku Pay allows customers to sign up for free trial subscriptions, subscribe to channels, and purchase movie rentals, sporting events, and pay-per-view events. After adding a payment method, customers can make purchases from their TV with just a few presses on their Roku remote control, while managing their subscriptions both online and on-device.
