Roku 2 XS in Lebanon

samer

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a Roku 2 XS. It seems to be a good alternative to the Apple TV.
I have called up Radioshack and they never heard of it. PCandParts doesn't have it either (according to the website at least).

You can special order from PC and Parts , I am sure that they will have it.
Anyways, my friend got one (Not exact model) but similar from Da7iyeh. you could try there.
But I am sure that someone else would have a better idea of where to get it so don't count on my answer.

Well, officially, Roku is not supported outside of the Americas. So you would have to import from there, and therefore you must bear in mind that most providers optimize their network delivery for that continent only. Some even limit credit card payment facilities to US/Canada cards.
Now on a good connection, Roku is a very nice device with diversity of available content that is regulated for quality.

Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up buying the Patriot Box Office from pcandparts for $125+VAT.

I could only find two cons: first, the interface is ugly but at this point, I'm ready to compromise functionality over the looks. Second, the remote control is not that good. This isn't really a problem because I can buy a $30 logitech universal remote control and program it to work with the box.
