According to this Engadget article, Roku will be officially offering to us in the UK two new players from the 18th of October 2017 
There will be the Roku Streaming Stick + with 4K & HDR at RRP of £80, together with the Roku Express for a RRP of £30
Not sure how accurate the article is, if so i might be purchasing a Roku Streaming Stick + to replace my ageing Roku stick

Watching a few YouTube videos about the Roku Express (US versions) where they also come with some double sided sticky tape where you can fit the small light weight Express box directly underneath or on the side of your TV (you just need to ensure the Express is in line of sight of the Roku RC IR commands)

I've yet to notice the 60Hz/50Hz flicker/judder issue on my Roku 3 and Purple roku stick, however my purple roku stick is struggling, and extremly sluggish at times, so the new Roku stick+ would be a good replacement.
The line up is a little limited compared to the full versions, in my opinion it would have been better if Roku would have gone with these
Black Stremaing Stick as the base model
Straming Stick+ mid range
and Roku Ultra
Price wise it seems a little high when compared to the US models, the Streaming stick + costs US$69.99 which is £53, add UK VAT ( as US prices dont include sales Tax a.k.a VAT ) and you get £63.60 which would be rounded up to £64.99, a full £15 more
Likewise the Express which is US$29.99, or £27.59
The Roku express if following this price model would retail at roughly £129.99 (inc VAT at 20%)
Another option would be for Now TV to be available on the Amazon fire system(s) , one reason given for its abscence on here, is that Amazon have their own service Amazon Prime video and wont allow another competing video service, however that fails to take into account other paid for streaming services on the Fire TV platform such as Netflix as well as other lesser known paid services such as Curzon home cinema
Hi @chilli2
I think you meant to say the Roku Ultra would cost around hundred and £130. He said the express instead

Meant the Ultra at £130 ish, alhtouhg knowing the way things work this could even be higher at £140.
shame were not getting the full line up, or even the Express+ instead of the express, with the AV composite out lead being sold as an acessory.
I wouldnt be surprised if the next Now TV box took the form of the Express, or even Express+ as their is demand on here for AV out on the now TV branded hardware
