UKTV Play, which is rebranded as U, is a free platform where you can watch Documentaries, TV series, and more. By installing UKTV Play on Roku, you can access all the exclusive TV streams for free with the mandatory limited ads.
Being a UK-based platform, the service only works for UK audiences. However, if you wish to stream UKTV Play outside the UK, then you need a VPN. For the best VPN services, I recommend choosing NordVPN for your streaming device.
