Can Roku be used outside of the US ? I am considering buying a Roku Streamer to be used in Israel.Will it be able to drive properly a plasma screen?

If you can currently stream content ( say from Hulu or Netflix ) from the Internet, then I can think of no reason why a Roku would not work.

I tried Hulu a few months ago in Korea, but always got a screen saying that streaming content was only currently available in the US. Plasma screen shouldn't be a problem, but you'll need to watch streaming video from sites that are available worldwide.

We have two Rokus, could that be Roki? Anyway, we have one at our mountain home and one at out city apartment, we switch them out on our total of 3 TV's, so the answer is, convince! You can move them all over and they work where ever you use them. If you don't want to move them and possibly put in a new wifi code get as many as you can afford, if you don't mind moving them about you could have one or two and be happy. I think Roku is great and have had my first one for over 2 years.

Yes. You can set up Roku outside USA, but the channels selection is limited unless you set it up with a US account. Also, there is a workaround to watch US content in Roku through unblock-us.com/189.html

My model is 3050X. Looking at the product description, I went by this, though: as long as you don't use "a streaming stick" (??), this is remote supposed to work on your Roku. If you know what a streaming stick is (I assume it looks completely different from the regular remote), you may have one. I don't know why they couldn't just put the model numbers. Good luck to you.

if you move the roku ie disconnect from your original setup, its impossible to set it up again...doesn't connect to server, can't find wifi, screens don't apperar to reset it..."support" is from India with stiff language issues....total nuisance....don't ever undo it!

No, I don't think a Roku device will stream everything that's on the internet. It only streams channels that are programmed into its memory. Look at Roku's website and it will show which channels each device can stream.

The Roku streaming stick is a USB device that can plug into the USB port on your TV. It connects with your home wifi and allows you to connect to internet services such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and many others so you can stream movies and shows from the internet onto your TV. Mine works great.

It would depend on the hotel has both Wifi and HDTVs with a MHL port. MHL looks like USB ports but are only on some TVs and the Roku Streaming Stick will not work with a standard USB port. Apparently this is needed for the two devices to control each other.

The most that I can tell you is that it has a USB port. I do not understand what is mhl? As far as Roku and other streaming devices, I have not tried to connect these. However, it may support theses things; it is a great T.V. truly.

Are there any Roku streaming players that support the wired LAN cable going to the TV? According to this article http://www.wired.com/2014/12/make-the-most-of-your-roku/ the streaming stick is supposed to support wireless or wired connection through your TV. Is it only the VUDU edition that doesn't connect thru a wired connection?

I have another atom unit that I use on my plasma. Running Linux and XBMC. This unit I use as router with UTM software on it. So can't say but a guess is that it will be fine. What I find with my other unit is you have to tweak the res to fill the screen right. Computer Res vs TV Res slightly different. But if you run windows on it you should be able to overcome that I think easily. It has run very cool for me. But I did add a fan to move air through it. Have not had a breakdown been running well over a year. Hope that helps.

I don't know how the Roku Streaming Stick attaches to the TV. What kind of input does it require? We have an original Roku hooked up to this TV with an HDMI cable, so if the stick attaches through the same kind of input, then I would say yes.

Tried but it did not seem to be ideal or fully compatible. Add a Roku 2 XS for a much smoother streaming experience that I think makes going to a movie theater a let down! The images I see on this set are much better than I have seen on many theater screens.

I checked with Sony in California, and they said that the unit will work as long as the user outside has subscribed to VPN/DNS services that allows them to access US-based fee service like Netflix, Huluplus, or Amazon. So I bought it to use in Europe. Will get back to this subject if I run into problems getting this mama to work.

It may be that the salesperson is enthusiastically describing a capability that requires more than the TV. I'm not aware of the 750 having that capability -- and any TV can display your Netflix-streamed movies with an external box like this:http://www.productwiki.com/roku-netflix-player/You might want to check in with some 750 users about this capability. I'd be surprised if it's built-in to the TV, but I've been surprised before...

Depends on what you are using it for - if you get the cable to tether the projector to your laptop to watch a DVD - no problem. If for Canada and you are using WIFI and have Netflix, you need to download and pay for a montly subscription to Unblock-US.com to give your ROKU an IP address in the US, Canada has different streaming restrictions for services like Netflix.

Probably. I tried this with a Roku box and got a "region not allowed" error. Tried it with my computer and it worked fine. So as along as you don't get a DCMA violation it will work fine.
