Thank you - so the channel owners are restricting the geographic area? Interesting.
Not necessarily intentionally. By default, only the region the developer's account is registered to is selected when publishing a channel. The developer has to explicitly select the other regions to make the channel available there.
It's also possible that the content isn't licensed for other regions, in which case, the developer/channel owner would only be able to make it available in the regions it's licensed for.
Either way, as kc8pql said, it's the developers/channel owners who decide what regions to make a channel available in, not Roku. So, as long as you have the rights to distribute the content you're making available in your channel, you can make it available anywhere you want.
