If browsing on web, on the let you can filter search results to show "ship to South Africa".

 

Don't see a Roku 4 but the Roku 3 $102,99 is there. Also 39 other offers of new Roku3 for $75 etc

Just signed up. Not many new series, but the Netflix series are looking good....

 

Its just nice to have a service with things we want to watch and not hours of repeats!

ok, so its time ...

 

took an old office i3, upgraded it to windows 10.

 

hooked it up to the DVD player, switched on the streaming feature in windows media player - and voila  - I now have a media centre. The only pain is I cannot use the DVD player remote to fast forward to rewind - but I can use it to control which files to select on the PC.

 

Only thing to figure out now is this netflix thingy.

 

Oh yes and I will be asking for help with Kodi.

 

Last thing - thanks for the thread guys. Great inspiration to step up and try something new. Like drag yourself into the 21st century.

I'm not sure what other options are out there that you could look at, but, personally, I have a media server in one room and a Roku running in the lounge over my wireless network which works like a charm and it has it's own remote. ;)

 

You get different model Roku's, but I have the entry level streaming stick. Costs a few hundred rand and does everything I need it to.

Lurch, does the Roku then replace the DVD player ?

 

So you go from the PC, to the Roku and then into the TV ?

 

*have not done much research into the Roku and other such devices, was trying to get the streaming thing going with using what I had rather than spend money*
