There may be Roku units available for your country, but the ones sold on Amazon are for the USA. The countries supported on the Roku site are USA, Canada, UK and Ireland.

First I bought one here in Amazon, there is no information about region or a note saying that can't be used outside USA, most of the pages in internet can be used only if you live in USA including Netflix. Then I bought one in Canada, you can't use Netflix USA, only NETFLIX Canada, and some other pages too. Is not easy to navigate and at the end I didn't found use for it.

I have a Roku 2 XD which works fine on it... Is there something special about the ROKU 3?

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.

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.

I live in Brazil, we don´t have this service here. But I´m pretty sure that you will have to pay for it in the US.

Sorry but no. You can get The Leaf to get local channels in your area. Roku2 XS is a streaming device where you can get Netflix, Hulu Plus , Amazon Prime (with subscription but have free trials to test it out). the higher level Roku's offers more. Apple TV is another streaming device as well.

I don't think so. As long as the wireless connection reached the Roku and has enough strength it should work.

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.

I don't think the build-in apps support any US channels. However, it is actually a streaming media player. You may be able to license some Apps that enable you to watch the channels you like.

It has an standard Jack. So I assume if the Roku 3 has a standard Jack it will work.

The Roku itself will work, but some of the channels, most notably Netflix, will not. A lot of the "premium" channels, like Netflix, don't have licensing deals to show things outside the US and/or North America. http://support.roku.com/entries/267154-can-i-take-my-roku-player-with-me-when-i-travel

nope as long as your cable connection is good you are all set!!! Love my Roku bought one for my daughter and son in law for Christmas and they love theirs too, they had a bit of a problem cause they live in the country and their cable carrier was not strong enough to pull it in......they switched to another carrier and have had no problems, if you live in the city you should be golden Enjoy

Yes, according to online research. I do not have Roku attached to that Sony TV, but am using it successfully with another Sony TV.

I do not know if it works outside the US. I returned it and purchased a smart tv.

Yes sorta. Netflix is based on your location so if your outside of the US you won't get US content. I've used mine in both Canada and the US and you will get the content based on your location. To get US content outside the country you need to use a US Proxy service.

This unit does not work on most cable network in the states. However if you get the one compatible with American Tv signal it will work Mean if you have internet streaming box, it will work with it. Good Luck.
