Re: Roku Channel will not play

@Halaqah, Roku doesn't support South Africa.  Some apps may work, but "The Roku Channel" will not.

  • North AmericaCanada and the United States
  • EuropeFrance, Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom
  • Latin AmericaArgentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Peru

In addition, our team will take note of your current region as we aim to bring the Roku streaming platform worldwide.

We hope for your understanding in this matter.
