They have 16 international language packages to choose from... The Chinese one was just an example.

Includes plenty of English channels.... unless you don't understand or READ English. :confused:

Note: The special price is for the first 3 months. Then it is 10% off the regular price for the next 9 months. (OP - correct me if I am wrong about this.)

The title is very misleading. Please qualify the title for 3 months only:

ROKU device is a streaming over internet device.

"*DishWorld is only available in the U.S."

Will this work in Canada or do you have to use a US VPN service?

Just buy the damn Roku when they're on sale for $79 bucks
Can you explain why it's terrible? Also, do you want to offer other alternatives for international programming, with the option of recording shows?

This seems waaaaaaaaaaay too good to be true. Those international channels are very very very expensive on Bell/Rogers, like $15/month for one of those channels let alone more than a dozen of them.

So just to clarify, you get the package at a 30-40% discount for 3 months along with a free Roku player (I dunno whether the one that's half of is worth getting or the free one) and after three months, the price goes up by 10% and it's all done through internet streaming?

Is it reliable? If I have to set up a VPN then can it be done in such a way so that only the Roku is on the VPN and every other device in the house is on regular internet with no VPN in betwen? How much can I expect to pay for a reliable US VPN per month which will not affect Dishworld speed? How fast should the internet connection be? (My DSL works fine with Netflix though if it's 'SuperHD' then sometimes it lags though that seems like more of a single band router issue).

Also, how does this compare to that Jadoo TV, isn't that cheaper?

Plus those channels on jadoo are illegally streamed. This is all legit from dish?. Plus jadoo only has streams that are already on the web, just in one place.

Very interested in international channels package from Dish through Roku, but seems USA only. Have never dealt with VPN service so don't know how it works.
