Netflix and Roku by msantiago1256
Hi, I was pleasantly surprised to find that netflix is in Ecuador! I knew they where expanding and it was only a matter of time but they are already here and the selection is almost better (in terms of quality if not quantity) than back home. Has ...
What is the name of the DNS Proxy service that you are using or one that you can name as being reliable. Thanks. Read More
Electric stoves to replace gas stoves by sailorbox
I recently read that the government will begin to phase in the replacement of gas stoves with electric stoves. The reason is the abundance of electricity and the heavily subsidized gas that is currently used. Does anyone know if this has begun or ...

Thank you again. My greatest interest is having enough equipment with me to setup a system to receive Netflix US TV stations or HULU. I have a new ROKU 3 that has not been initiated so that I can start from scratch in Canoa if I cannot buy a ... Read More

Thanks for the advice. I am carrying so much stuff already that one less thing is better for me, the N router is already in Latacunga. Another question though, I assume the internet provider will furnish/sell/rent the modem with the service. Is ... Read More

Thanks for the information. But can you tell me if it is better to subscribe to Netflix and HULU while here in Florida or wait until we are re-settled in Canoa? I would assume that if you subscribe in a foreign country then some of the problems ... Read More

I am currently in the US and would like to ask someone for information about what I should buy if anything to bring with me to Ecuador so that I can watch USA TV. I will be living on the coast in Canoa and there is not much in the way of TV Cable ... Read More
