Roku in India - unavailable channels and search option
I am trying to use Roku in India.
Indian streaming appa like Hotstar, SonyLiv don’t show up in channels.
Even prime video doesn’t show..
the only known channels i see are netflix, youtube and zee5.
there is no way to search channel. And voice commands don’t work either
Yes, that’s not a country that Roku supports (so far, at least). Some things might work, some things probably won’t. And search and voice are only supported in a subset of the countries that Roku supports generally.
Hi nileshhiray ,
Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!
We value your time as you took the time to reach out and ask questions regarding Roku Voice Command, Roku Search, and channel availability. We'll try to do our best to address and respond to your question.
In addition to Strega2 response, we do not have a dedicated Roku presence in India at this time, so it is very likely the channel is not currently available on the Roku platform. Roku players are not officially marketed or sold to that country, but your Roku player should work fine in any country.
Please be advised that Roku Voice search and voice control is supported in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Uruguay.

Roku Search is available in English in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and in Spanish in Mexico and the United States. For full information on this, you can take a look at this link: How to find movies and TV shows using Roku Search | Official Roku Support
Hope you'll find this info useful. Let us know in case you still have any questions.
Best regards,
