littleheaven:jarledb: Can confirm that Siri works if you have an american iTunes account and set it up as being in the US (including not allowing it to use location services) and setting the timezone to be in the US
Awesome! Any downsides to turning off location services and setting timezone to US? I currently run my ATV3 on my US iTunes account so that won't be a huge change for me, but I'm not sure about the other settings. It's a good workaround until we get our own Siri (hopefully).
Well, setting it to be "in the US" means that its showing things like temperatures in fahrenheit instead of celcius. Guessing it will show me weather for Cupertino (which is what I put as location) if I ask what the weather is like, without stating where. It did show me weather for Napier, New Zealand when I asked specifically though.
I wanted to be sure that nothing tripped up the activation of Siri, so it may well be that it will work even if you allow location services, but I am pretty sure you will have to select "United States of America" for region and use a US iTunes account for Siri to work.
