Roku updates the Roku Express with 4K and HDR at a very competitive GB£39.99 (sometimes reduced to £29.99). Perfect for all HDMI TVs, the Express uses 11ac (and 11bgn) WiFi to deliver all the main UK catchup channels - iPlayer, ITV Hub, All4 and My5 - plus the usual on-demand providers - Netflix, Amazon Prime, KZbin, Now TV and AppleTV.

Just watched your video very informative and easy to follow. I am now about to order one from Amazon selling at £19.99 which I think is a bargain. Thanks

We have a small Motorhome we have a 19” Avtex tv & we have wi fi. Would this one or the on with the stick will be best. It can be so confusing 😊.

Cheryl, there's very little to choose from them in terms of functionality. The installation of the stick can be neater as it can often hide behind the TV though do check the position of the HDMI sockets on the TV. With the Express you need line of sight between the remote and the Express unit as it uses infrared.

Don't know, sorry. I'd try it and see what happens.

@bluebellbeatnik4945 5 ай бұрын

Can you add any apps like moviebox or do they have to be a big name like netflix?

@GNCandrew 5 ай бұрын

It's a mix. There are some good offerings from smaller media companies too.

Great video! Just to confirm, I'm getting this for my mom, she has a Panasonic NOT smart TV and I want her to be able to have Netflix, HBO and Disney on it. Would this work, without needing any other devices? (like a smartphone, laptop, etc which are needed with Chromecast). She does have WiFi at home. Many, many thanks, you're lovely! 😊

I'm in the UK, so can't comment on HBO, but definitely Netflix and Disney are available over here and yes, you don't need anything else. Sometimes a smartphone helps with entering passwords, but voice input of passwords letter by letter is now available on some apps, which makes it even easier!

I WOULD PURCHASE ONE, BUT CAN I GET UK FREE VIEW ON IT?

@GNCandrew Жыл бұрын

Bob, the Roku doesn't work with "over the air" programming like Freeview, but it has apps for all the terrestrial services like iPlayer, itvX, 4oD and My5, plus the likes of Netflix, Disney+, Discovery and PlutoTV.

Does it 'record' programmes for you?

@GNCandrew 5 ай бұрын

No, but it offers plenty of catchup services like BBC's iPlayer or ITVx.

I've just bought one of these to replace my Fire Stick.

@GNCandrew 8 ай бұрын

Good choice. I like them much better than the Fire Sticks.

@danielholmes-nj5nq 7 ай бұрын

Well I used it for the first time yesterday, and I'm very impressed with it. It does everything I want, with no apparent slowdown in performance. Big thumbs up from me. 👍

Can you use it fir free view

@GNCandrew Жыл бұрын

No, you can't receive 'over the air' programming like Freeview on the Roku. However all the UK terrestrial channels have apps on the Roku - iPlayer, itvX, 4, my5 - so you don't miss much.
