Now that Roku is integrated into more than 30 per cent of the TVs sold in the US and has almost 31 million active accounts, the smart platform is coming to the UK integrated into a TV for the first time, via Hisense.

Hisense is one of more than ten TV manufacturers selling Roku OS-powered TVs in the US, and it's choosing to celebrate its 50th birthday this year by launching similar models in the UK towards the end of the year.
