Since almost the premiere of the device, the private channel Nowhere TV has been an important host of curated content for Roku users. The app linked to PBS, sports (tons of blogs and ESPN), news (local US plus Al Jazeera English, BBC News, BBC World News), spiritual matters, science/tech, NPR, APR, and tons more.
This week, one of the Holy Grails for American streaming on TV appeared with little or no fanfare on Nowhere TV. Feeds for BBC One, BBC Two, ITV 1, and Dave are all now available, uncut and live through the Roku.
Check out The Nowhereman page for some other great private channels.

I am looking to buy a Roku next month in order to watch Doctor Who airing Saturday August 23. Can you please help me put the BBC one channel on my Roku device?
That stopped working a long time ago.
Sorry.

Your best bet for current Doctor Who is to buy a season pass from Amazon.
Ebru has older Doctor Who episodes on Sunday nights. They are current showing episodes with the Tenth Doctor. They also have reruns of other BBC One shows, as well shows from other British TV networks, Australia's ABC, and the U.S. throughout the week. Ebru is free and is listed in the Roku Channel Store.
Between Hulu Plus and Netflix, you can get most of the Doctor Who.
Does anyone know if there Is there any way to get BBC over roku? I am happy to pay for it! I miss the Beeb so much here in NYC. . . or ITV, for Corrie!
