Re: Roku device connect to Ipad

The requirement to connect the iPad to the same network as the Roku is solely to allow using the Roku app as a control app. Access to The Roku Channel is restricted by geographic location, likely because of the licensing agreements they have with the content owners. However, Roku states TRC is available in Canada. Officially TRC is available in the US, Canada and Great Britain. If you're using a VPN to appear in another location, that would cause TRC to be blocked.
