ROKU Box In Baja

Does the ROKU box work in Baja? I have one and am just wondering if it will work straight up or if I have to get a VPN before heading back home. Thanks in advance....

Works just fine for us. I am watching the Today show as I type.
You have to sign up for USTVNOW. It's free and you get 5 channels from Harrisburg, PA.
We get MLB, too, for a fee. We paid $24.99 a few weeks back for the rest of the regular season. All games.....Go Giants and A's
Great music/photo channel....Radio Paradise
Have fun

Edit to add
We have Telmex Infinium broadband....

OK, thank you. I purchased Satellite Direct a few months back for a one time price of $24.95, and looks like I might have to add USTVNOW when we get back to San Felipe.

You will know more about Pennsylvania than you ever thought possible!

Well, here I am back in San Felipe and ROKU does work. My tech show channels are fine, Netflix works but has a little different selection from the old country. Crackle did not come up, gave me a message, 'Not available in your counrty'.

Haven't checked the other channels but am happy with what I found so far without having to instal a VPN Router.
