I have a Roku XD Media Player from the US.

I have lost the remote so you'll need a universal remote to use it (eg logitech harmony)

It comes with power cord and is 110-240v switchable so you just need an adapter plug not a transformer to use it.

You'll also need a VPN for US content.

Free to good home. Pickup is in Miramar after hours or Wellington City during the day.

First person to reply to this thread can have it free.

I have a Roku media player and from recollection it doesn't use IR but BT. Or at least mine does since I can wave the remote all over the place to play Angry Birds!

The phone has to be rooted to do that and mine isn't. But I found the apk anyway and will try it out when I get the chance.
