No Siri-remote in Sweden?
According to MacRumors Apple TV with a remote control with Siri will only be sold in US, UK, France, Spain, Germany, Canada, Australia. Other will get a remote that replaces Siri with a Search button. Why?

Just confirming: Siri will work on any AT4, just do following 2 setups:
1. Settings / General / Language / choose ENGLISH
2. Settings/ Accounts / iTunes and App Store / Location/ choose UNITED STATES
On the remote: Press the microphone button and HOLD while speaking ENGLISH
Is there no way of making it work without changing the iTunes Store as none of my content is in the US store? Does changing the region format not work?
Nope, changing region does not turn on Siri. (no pun intended...)
Only way I could do it was changing Language and iTunes/App Store Location (Both have to be changed).
However, the important thing as I see it, is that the hardware is the same all over the world
and the Siri function will most likely be unlocked natively to more countries in the near future.
Siri is a great feature but the introduction of apps is really the big thing. Infuse is in the worx...
And hey, actually one other great thing is that the new remote takes control over your TV set! (at least mine/Samsung)
Pressing the remote once fires up the ATV AND the TV + volume is handled on the ATV remote. Nice.
It is not possible for me to use the Apple TV in English with Siri activated with my German iTunes account. I have region and language set to US/English but it just checks where my account is registered 😟
German Siri works though 😟
Go to settings>Accounts>iTunes and App Store(unde APPLE ID)> scroll down to location and change it to UK. Siri should start working although, the store will sign you out. NOTE: you will not be signed out of your icloud however.
Basically, it is a matter of time until Apple switches the Siri ON for countries like Sweden and Switzerland.
I bought my ATV4 in Ireland, there is no Siri access there, but if you change the country of your ATV settings and Icloud setting, you can use Siri.
The hardware are the same everywhere, Apple won't produce different ATV for different countries...
For the moment the ATV 4 is without Siri for certain countries but you can use SIri if you change the country in the setting of your ATV.
It's what i'm doing.
