RCA Roku TVs launch in the UK, starting at an amazing £130
(Pocket-lint) – RCA has joined the list of TV manufacturers to release Roku TVs in the UK. Available in 32-, 40- and 55-inch screen sizes, the RCA Roku TVs come in HD and 4K HDR resolutions and start at just GBP129.99. They sport the Roku smart TV platform built in, so you don’t need to add a secondary streaming device, and also come with 30-days of free Discovery+.
Roku TVs have a customisable homepage, with access to the thousands of streaming apps and channels available through the platform. This includes all of the UK’s free TV services – such as BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All 4 and My5. The RCA sets are also Freeview Play-enabled so you can scroll backwards through the EPG, select a show you may have missed and watch it on catch-up.
