It would be interesting to know why there are these restrictions. Software, hardware, radio frequency regulatory restrictions? It looks like the wireless speakers won’t work anywhere in Europe. Why? I could get them shipped from the States, but should I?
Roku advertises how great the wireless speakers are on their (US) web site but oddly makes sure you can’t use them in Europe. Why? Will this always be the case?
The Streambar by itself is much better than using the built in speakers on my previous set up, but it would be good to have “Immersive surround sound for your Roku home theatre” (quote form Roku US website).
Other quotes or highlights from the Roku US website:
“Premium sound made simple
Expand your Roku TV™ or Roku home theatre”
“Surround sound: Combine Roku Wireless Speakers with Roku Streambar Pro and Roku Wireless Subwoofer for deep, rich bass and immersive surround sound”.
Not if you’re in Europe
I bought the Streambar thinking I could add wireless speakers, it’s on your (US) web site that you can, it’s on youtube that you can, but apparently not if you’re in Europe.
Hopefully you can confirm either way that the wireless speakers will or won’t ever be available in Europe.
Thanks.
