Humax are releasing a new retail YouView box - The DTR-T2000
http://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/Direct/Prod/2cdcd1aa-5901-4c85-96a8-9ccf5f90cd0c

Looks like its already out:

But this review says it doesn't have as good Catch Up services so I assume, for me, Fox T2 plus Roku 3 might still be best option :

That's not the new YouView box, it's the Humax HDR-2000T, which is Freeview.

Thanks Barry

So if i buy this new box, will it provide me with all the same catch up facilities as a Roku 3?

Can only comment on YouView box as I do not have Roku.

On YV the players are:

BBCiplayer
itvplayer
4OD
Demand5
NowTV
Milkshake (channel 5 kiddies)
UKTV (content from Really, Dave, and Yesterday)
Sky Store (movie rental)
S4C

One significant difference between YouView and Roku is the NowTV service. The YouView implementation of NowTV does not include the Entertainment pass, which gives access to catchup and live streaming of a number of Sky channels including Sky Atlantic and Sky Arts1.

However, Sky's NowTV box, which is a cut-down Roku LT, does have the full NowTV service and is very cheap, at £9.99, so a YouView box plus the NowTV box gives you a pretty good range of catchup. But doesn't include NetFlix, YouTube, or the Amazon streaming service (can't recall the current name)

Also Roku (including the Sky cutdown Roku) has the BBC News and BBC Sport apps, which YouView does not.
