a couple reasons not to do that I have a Canada based Roku account

I would have to change channel store via hidden menu

3 pre loaded quick launch keys would not be for my regions applications so would be useless

I believe he's stating that competition from Amazon may be why they don't offer the Ultra there. Remember that Amazon offers a competing hardware player, as well as providing the Prime Video and Prime Music channels. There might even be some sort of agreement between the two companies about it, but we'll never know for sure.

You're right, that's a very plausible explanation. If Roku were to offer the Ultra in Canada, they would be directly competing with Amazon on both the hardware and software side. This could be a risky move, as Amazon has a lot of money and resources to compete with.

I think he's saying that Amazon's competitiveness may be the reason they don't sell the Ultra there. Keep in mind that Amazon not only offers Prime Video and Prime Music channels but also an alternative hardware player. We'll never know for sure, but there may even be some type of understanding between the two businesses on the subject. For more info, you can visit this site.

In my opinion, it seems like the absence of the Ultra on Amazon's platform could be attributed to their desire to maintain a competitive edge. It's worth noting that Amazon not only provides Prime Video and Prime Music channels but also offers an alternative device for media streaming. While we can only speculate, it's possible that there might be some sort of arrangement or mutual understanding between the two companies regarding this matter. If you're interested in delving deeper into this topic, I recommend exploring this for further information.
