Siri in Denmark

I think the remote is the same for all countries. You just need to change your region in software. At least that's what I think.
Nope the remote in Denmark does not have the Siri microphone and speaker in the top and turning on Siri on the APTV4 is unenabled. I was hoping that I can turn it on by buying a rmote from the UK
Not true, it's one and the same remote. I live in Holland and there at least a mic at the top of the remote. Just a matter of time I hope...
same remote, I actually found a link earlier today:

You need an Apple ID from a supported Country (UK, US, Germany etc.) and set the fitting language and Region. So f.e. you want Siri in german, you'll need a german Apple ID, set the region to Germany and the language to german.
Thanks, tak for det
If you check in the applestore uk and the applestore dk and look at the remote one can buy you'll see that the danish remote does not have a microfone or speaker on the top as the uk one does. So just even if I could turn on Siri there would still be no contact as there is no microfone
It's the same hardware! This was answered by Apple staff numerous times. Also it wouldn't make any sense as Siri is a softwarefeature. So when Siri for other countries is finished we would've to buy a new remote. Siri is just not enabled in not supported countries.
Yes it does. All remotes are the same and have a built in microphone (or two iirc) and no speaker!
Apple literally sells two different remotes one for Siri enabled countries and one without a speaker and microphone to Siri unenabled countries.
This was new to me as I'd been reading all about the APTV4 in english with everyone raving on about how good the Siri function is but upon buying it from the danish apple store finding I can't use Siri.
It's not just turning Siri on it also envolves changing the remote

1. There is no remote with a speaker.
2. Yes Siri is only supported in eight countries at launch.
3. IT IS THE SAME REMOTE

Here an Apple Staff said it's the same hardware.
Then just read the thread and you'll get your answers (the same by the way)
lol yeah you're of course right, you know everything.

I can also repeat it, and I am even from Denmark and knows how it looks: IT IS THE SAME REMOTE! You prefer Apple to write IT IS THE SAME REMOTE! in danish?
And you can also have active Siri if you want to - You just need to set it to one of the languages that support Siri, just like we could on the iPhone 4S back when that was released, even though we just recently got Siri in danish.

Click your own link and read Apples support file in that thread: There's even a picture of the remote with a microphone, and the accompanying text: IT IS THE SAME REMOTE! (okay, not exactly those words, but the same meaning anyway).
Were you born yesterday? C'mon - IT IS THE SAME REMOTE!
I'm swedish and use a swedish bought ATV4 and I have the same remote as everyone else in the world. I can use Siri when logged on with my US Apple-ID.
The question has now been answered numerous times. It is the same remote. Accept it.
stubborn is stubborn...
Got my Siri to work yesterday, simply awesome feature
(also: http://www.apple.com/dk/tv/specs/ that hole on the remote top is the mic, Apple just don't want to confuse people who would think they could talk danish to their TV, thus not mentioning the mic and Siri support in English or German)

It's because the danish store/netflix for instance, has a lot of danish titled movies. English siri wouldnt understand that.
I understand that, but if I chose english as my Siri language to search for a movie title I expect to find english results.
Most of Siri searches would be in the form of "show me action movies" or "show me movies for kids" etc. and Siri doesn't have to understand the title, just the category.
I'd like to have a choice and be able to use Siri, although I may miss some of my local movies or apps. It would be better than nothing
My apple ID is danish, the language on Apple TV is english and Siri is english - netflix is danish
no problem what so ever (if you read teh guide I provided above from reddit, you would see you do not actually change store just region, which you reset shortly after siri is enabled)
Thanks I didn't read the reddit post, I'll try tonight and hopefully I'll be able to use Siri
