Currys-owned brand JVC will now be powered by Roku OS.
A series of models ranging from 24” to 43” is being released with prices starting from £169.99.
“The Roku OS delivers a smart TV experience like no other, with features that make it easier, faster, and more affordable for consumers to watch what they love,” said Bart Bomers, VP EMEA at Roku. “It is not without reason that Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform by hours streamed in the US, Canada, and Mexico, and our partnership with Currys extends our commitment to bringing our popular platform to more people in the UK.”
Roku TV models come with a large selection of entertainment to stream, or watch live through an integrated Freeview tuner, and all the most popular local and global apps, including BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Paramount+, and more.
As of Monday, Roku users can also enjoy a 30-day-free trial of ITVX Premium and watch upcoming shows including Big Brother, Archie, and The Winter King ad-free and on-demand, alongside all BritBox UK content.
Vision Expert at Currys, Paul Slater said, “We are thrilled to announce the launch of Roku Operating System within our JVC TVs. I’m confident this new exciting partnership will not only complement our existing portfolio, but further strengthen our offering of customer focused smart TVs”.
The four JVC Roku TV models bring the number available in the UK to seven.
