A comment on Why Does My Remote Control Need to Know My Location?. Parent comment
Roku/NowTV modified the device by connecting to it without authorisation and removing the ability to sideload.
In theory that's a breech of the UK Computer Misuse Act (similar to CFAA in USA), both in the access and separately in the modification.
In practice there's not much one can do, just never buy Sky/NowTV or Roku products ever again.
Moved to FireTV, installed the same app from the app store. Now we get Netflix instead.
