Any time you are outside the US, you will have geolocation issues. Discussion of a VPN to deal with that is not allowed by Community Guidelines.

What may be allowed would be a setup where you can access your content from the Internet to a home server. I know I can connect to my personal Plex server for my personal library of content, but uncertain what would need to be done to view live content.

I'm a streamer. I don't satellite. I don't cable. I cannot offer suggestions on how to integrate those into a local home server. But others might.

I'm not Bob either. (Sorry DBDukes, just a joke.)

Unfortunately, no, I did not come up with a solution. I was going to make some suggestions until it was pointed out that that is against community guidelines.

@BillBrehm This is not a Roku issue. Nothing to suggest. Your trying to use services that are not supported outside the US. End of story. And your suggestion is actually a violation of the terms of agreement with those companies. DirecTV, DirecTV Stream and Xfinity are for US customers only.

Heh. You ought to hear what I get called!

[BillBrehm]

"your suggestion is actually a violation of the terms"...

What suggestion was that? All I said was:

"I was going to make some suggestions until it was pointed out that that is against community guidelines."

No suggestion is present.

@BillBrehm you mentioned something. You know what it is. Don’t deny it 

[BillBrehm]

Please reread paying special attention to who posted what. If you still think I suggested something, please enlighten me.

I didn't actually deny anything. I simple asked what suggestion I made.

I never mention "DirecTV, DirecTV Stream and Xfinity" (until just now). So again, look at who posted what before you make accusations.

@BillBrehm  You are correct. I apologize. The issue is with @Dive-Barb 

[BillBrehm]

Apology accepted.

There is no issue with me. I innocently asked if a set up was theoretically possible without knowing it was in some violation of rules. As I use ROKU in the US, this was the place I started. If it’s an issue with the rules here I will drop the topic here. I will say this. I was able to stream The British Open yesterday in Manila without involving ROKU. When I’m back here again in January I’ll find a way to stream NFL one way or another.
