Roku players add Dish international TV channels!!! $$

Quote from halluc1nati0n : Watchsuntv is not part of the Roku channel Store, but you can still add it from their website on your roku with that code. It seemed to be setup in a weird way, but it works.

Yes, watchsuntv is not part of roku channel store. It means that Roku has not officially approved this channel yet so it is not publicly available others to find in their channel store. I suspect it is mainly because watchsuntv is not a subscribed Indian channel broadcasting company, and they are illegally providing all channels.

Quote from nsrpg : Do not see Sun TV channel thru Roku.

It is available on Roku channel store on their website.

Quote from mprabs : I just started off using one of the packages from watchsuntv.com. They are indeed available in Roku. So far so good - it is still early days though. As far as I can tell, they dont have VOD but live streams both in IST and EST (most of the channels).

There are Doordarshan channels listed on their website in Hindi package which does not work at all. All other hindi channels are broadcasted in USA timezone (EST) only except one or two hindi channels. I seriously think they are illegally streaming all the content, because I could not find their any agreement closure with any of these channel providers on their website.

FYI: At least I see one or multiple channels facing out of sync audio and video issues everyday.

watchsuntv is a cheap option to watch hindi channels, but I don't consider them as a reliable option. You may be able to watch your favorite program if you are lucky to escape from their various issues.

Most importantly they DO NOT HAVE ANY PHONE SUPPORT. So if your service has stopped working then you can't get an immediate information about the issue.

did anyone bought this service for hindi channels? any reviews? TIA

I rolled over my service from their old set top box to the free roku xs they provided. Quality is excellent and no buferring. I had a Yupp hindi subscription on roku and it was always bufferring...dish has all the good entertainment channels too. only problem is I cannot get full screen on my 47" tv. roku sends SD transmission 4:3 to the tv.

Thanks that helps.

Did you try, anyone else tried?

Quote from Airride : Did you try, anyone else tried?

nope, i tried and it does not work..you need 2 subscriptions i.e. 2 different accounts also.

The prices are the same as regular, why would one want to go via ROKU ?

Has anyone used the watchsuntv on their roku, how good and reliable are they?
How good does this look on a big screen HDTV?
thinking about getting it.

I used their service for a month and got sick of their issues on roku device. Stay away from this illegal service.

Plus taxes no?

Some comments on Dish Network on Roku,

1. Quality is very good. No buffering issues. And it is better than DVR in a sense you can see all programming 48 hours prior without the need to actually record.

2. You pay only $10 for adding additional Roku devices / or watching from computer. etc. So for three rooms, it will be base price + $10 + 10.

1. What is your cable modem or DSL speed?
2. are you using wired connection to Roku or wireless?

I thought they were legitimate. are they not?
