Can Roku be used outside of the US ? Will it be able to drive properly a plasma screen?

If you can currently stream content ( say from Hulu or Netflix ) from the Internet, then I can think of no reason why a Roku would not work.

Probably. I tried this with a Roku box and got a "region not allowed" error. Tried it with my computer and it worked fine. So as along as you don't get a DCMA violation it will work fine.

Go to the roku website and they have a list of "roku ready" devices. My tv is an lg and it had an mhl port but was not roku ready so it didn't work flawlessly.

Yes I'm sure you could use it outside the US. Buy a 240v to 120v travel converter on amazon and plug it in. Good luck.

Hello Alicia. I'm confused that you state that your tv is standard definition but capable of high definition. As far as I know, there is no such television. A high definition tv can display standard, but not the reverse. At any rate, I don't think that matters to answer the question if the Roku will work with the Sabrent and your tv. I don't have a Roku, but if it has an HDMI output it should work. Plug the Roku into the Sabrent with an HDMI cable, then plug the Sabrent into the back of your tv with either the RCA (3 plugs) or the S-video (one plug) connectors depending which inputs your television has. S-video is best of the two if it has both. You'll still may need to plug in the L/R sound if you use the s-video.

It's designed for US market. You may need to have an adapter to use in different country.

I think so. I have a 500W Plasma TV shipped from China and works with this one well in USA.

My experience with this model was not good when it came to accessing Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. My answer to your question is yes, it will, but expect to get regularly bumped off. Roku3 is a better bet for this.

The Roku should work fine because that port is strictly for MHL products and this should still function properly. I'm not 100% sure because my tv is Roku ready, but I don't doubt that it will still work. There have been people who've complained because they didn't know that the port was different from an HDMI port, but since you already know what your tv has you should be able to use the Roku

According to the owners manual, (http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/TCP55VT50.PDF), "The Plasma TV is designed to operate on a 120 V AC, 60 Hz service." Whether it would work properly on 50Hz is not stated and I wouldn't risk it without testing it first. The US standard is 60 Hz.

Yes sorta. Netflix is based on your location so if your outside of the US you won't get US content. I've used mine in both Canada and the US and you will get the content based on your location. To get US content outside the country you need to use a US Proxy service.

I do not know if it works outside the US. I returned it and purchased a smart tv.

I have a Roku and it works great. This TV is a great value, the fact that is 720 should not make you hesitate to buy it; the picture is beautiful!

Yes it can be used out side the US, but make sure before you go that the phone is in a working order.

I havent tried it with a ROKU box, but it has HDMI, component and composite inputs, so I'm sure it will work fine.
