The way the Roku really got going in the US was as the least expensive Netflix streaming option. So if Blockbuster UK or some such did a major streaming push, that might get Roku or an equivalent launched in the UK. Until then there is Boxee, which can be done with their box (more expensive than the Roku for sure), or with free software via a computer. I'm not sure about AppleTV in combination with either iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad, I think Crunchyroll has to add AirPlay support to allow it to happen, but if that is added, that would be another option for people who already have Apple gear.

ElimGarak 24076 cr points Send Message: Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 3/20/11 Hey, are there any specs on the channel? How does it work - is it just a browser to the CrunchyRoll DB and a hook from the Roku player to the FLV streams? The reason that I ask is that I would like to write a similar plug-in for Windows Media Center. Is there any way to get some information about the back-end and the API?

Its a great investment, you will not regret getting it. It makes my wife and I so happy when we sit to watch my anime on our couch and big screen TV. Save the money and buy one.

The good news is that the AC adapter included with my Roku XD\|S was a universal type (i.e., accepts 100-240V, 50/60Hz input), so you would only need a plug adapter for your local socket. The bad news is that I don't recall any setup for video type, which means at the very least the firmware supports only the NTSC video standard. That means you would be out of luck using the composite video output unless you had a TV that accepts NTSC. That said, if you have an HDTV and would be using HDMI, more than likely your TV would have no problem with a 60Hz input.

Consider that on the Roku MLB.TV Product page, they include this in the section of the terms of service regarding blackout subscriptions: OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND CANADA No blackout restrictions apply. It would seem strange to include that notice unless one could actually view it outside the United States. Unless for some reason CR was restricting the Roku/VIA encoded material from Limelight's international CDN servers, I see no reason it should not work overseas.

That is for their PC internet browser based product, according to the Roku forums, the MLB channel is North American only. However, also from the forums, We are developers based in London, UK. As some of you guys know we are creating a channel for the Roku box. This is what we have found: Free channels work fine for us. Amazon does not work for us because of the country restrictions. We cannot test Netflick because you need an American address and credit card to sign up for their service. MLB we could not test because we are not interested in baseball enough to pay and try this service. So it does at least seem possible.

If that pertains to their PC internet browser product, why that text on the Roku Product page? I could imagine someone buying a Roku to take on vacation overseas, hooking it up, finding it didn't work, and then contacting MLB.TV, mad as hell, and threatening to sue them for false advertising. Regarding CR, the fact that someone has confirmed free channels work overseas (as I expected), is a strong positive indicator. Still, it would be comforting to have someone say, "Yes, I have a Roku, I live in (country outside North America), and I can view Crunchyroll just fine on it".

Careless boilerplate ~ though if the reports are correct, it would be strictly speaking true, as there are no blackout restrictions on their international feeds.

Yes, that's what I was talking about as confirmation, but that Roku forum post was an encouraging sign.
