Making such a dangerous move as to put a censorship for international channels is very brave. There are many ethnic communities who created their solutions especially for Roku and were successfully promoting their service to tens of thousands people in USA. Take off those private and public channels (just because they compete with Dish Network) and your whole project goes down the drain. Who needs another device to watch Netflix? Boxee offers an open platform, ability to connect an OTA antenna and watch all the local channels in addition to hundreds of plugins they offer. Android boxes are coming. Why should people buy Roku if you keep changing your requirements and licenses so people learn that the service they watch on their dearest Roku device is no longer available? There are private channels for Chinese, South Asian, Russian, Polish, Serbian, African, Caribbean, Spanish and other communities and all those channels should be taken off because they compete with Dish Network, a behemoth who forces people to pay premiums for unneeded content. Just give it a good thought. Imagine you get an Illinois Catholic church to dictate which other religious channels should be added, what will happen to all those other Christian communities - they will choose a truly open platform without censorship.
