Hello...
Yes, I'm still alive. Yes, I still live in Santiago.
Now, since the formalities are aside...am I able to have a ROKU or FIRESTICK for my TVs? My Netflix works and Amazon, but my HULU won't work out of the US.
Don't want to get a streaming device and not be able to take advantage of all the different companies.

Thanks,
SHALENA

You can download a VPN that makes your device look like its in the USA, Europe, Asia, etc. Look on youtube for specifics!

VPN or masking an IP Address is done on computer/laptop. Common to then plug laptop into TV. You should be able to log into Netflix, Hulu or other streaming sites on the laptop. Although you are in DR the IP address on your laptop shows that you are in the USA (or another home country). Here is one provider,

There are a bunch of them

I have the new Apple TV4, a Roku and a MAG box.  They are all good with their own merits.  But if you want just one box then I would go for a cheap Android box like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/MXQ-PRO-4K-...035231?hash=item41a9b43a9f:g:SHgAAOSwcL5XMSmH

I also have one and I've been playing with it recently. For the price it's an excellent piece of hardware.  And it's very versatile.  You can load all the common apps like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and a VPN.  I use "Hide my Ass' VPN.  A paid one, but you get an app with it that interfaces with the box very easily.

The main app that I've been using this Android box is Kodi.  With a little bit of reading and research you can configure it to watch almost everything you desire for free.  Takes a little bit of knowhow, but it's a learning curve.  The more you use it, the more you discover what you can do with it.

I have recently discovered an extension within Kodi called "Wookie"  http://wookiespmc.com Once you have this loaded, it totally transforms Kodi into a user friendly one stop solution for almost everything you would want to watch.

Although a half decent internet connection is required.
