Roku Search, Feed and new Roku 2 now available in the UK

Roku, the small set-top box, has become wildly popular in recent times. It is also constantly adding new content via "channels" and trying to improve the hardware offerings as well. Now folks in the UK will get the latest improvements.

Roku Search is, perhaps, the biggest part of the announcement, as it allows customers to more easily locate the content they wish to watch. For the moment it only covers a few key channels -- Netflix, Snagfilms and Popcornflix -- but Roku plans to add many more channels in the future.

Roku Feed is an option that "makes it easier to know when new movies are ready to stream, on what channel, and at what price", claims Roku.

Both of these new options will begin appearing in the left side menu once your box receives the update, which has begun rolling out now.

The new Roku 2 box, which was recently introduced, is also now available, and the company claims it matches the speed and performance of the Roku 3.

Finally, there are new apps for both Android and iOS. This includes support for the new Search and Discovery features and are available right now in the respective app stores.

If you don't yet have the set-top box then you can grab one today at Amazon, Curry's or Argos.
