Hi,
I brought roku express from USA to India but i can't find apps like #amazonprime #hotstar .
Is these apps are available in India region ???
Roku will work abroad but different Channels and not every Channel are supported everywhere.
Hotstar should work but you gotta pay for it..

Roku units work anywhere in the world where they can get a broadband internet connection, independent of where they are purchased. The individual channels, however can only operate where their charters and program rights and licensing issues permit them to operate.
Few channels own the programming they show. Most have to license the right to stream their content from the program owners, and those rights are usually tied to specific countries or geographic regions. Sometimes even the program owners can't distribute in a country because they've sold exclusive rights in that country to someone else.
To receive the channels on your Roku that are authorized for your current location these should all be the same:
- The country of the IP used when creating your Roku account. If you've moved from the country in which you created your account, you may need to create a new one in your present location, then link your Roku to the new account.
- The country of the IP used for your current Roku session. Using a VPN that masks your true location can cause problems.
- The countries in which each channel app operates.
When the above conditions don't all match, channels which are available in your present location may not even be listed in the channels store on your unit.
