I am pleased to say that the ROKU I've used for some years has had no problems with iPlayer. You Tube did withdraw ROKU support for 7 days over royalty but soon changed their minds. Current ROKU and other streamers specifically state support for iPlayer and Commercial TV Catch Up plus much more.

As for bundled TV/internet providers, should the new boss of BBC decide to withdraw software support or feeds to their set top boxes, just wait for the next copy of Private Eye "taking the Michael" and normal service will soon be resumed.

Off topic, BBC Radio, sorry Sounds, do not stream Radio 2 via iPlayer which is a nuisance or it was until I no longer recognised the DJ's or music!
