Hotstar will be now available in USA & Canada

Hotstar has launched its premium service in Canada & US. Hotstar is changing 
the way it operates internationally. Hotstar is owned by Star India ,its streaming
 service is extending its Premium subscription to countries outside India  $9.99 
which is roughly Rs. 640 per month in the US, and CAD 12.99 which is roughly
 Rs. 670 in Canada. It also offers a one-month free trial via apps on the country's 
respective iOS App Stores and Google Play stores. Apps for Android TV and 
Roku are "coming soon", is mentioned in their Hotstar website.

Hotstar available only in 3 countries

Previously Hotstar can be accessible from any part of the worlds but now after the launch in US & Canada it cannot be viewed in any other part apart from these countries.

Some Channels will not be available.

However now  Hotstar cannot be viewed  in other parts of the globe. Earlier, you
 could access Hotstar from any region, although it was officially available only in
 India. As of Monday, it's available in just three countries  India, the US, and
 Canada with the latter two accessible via us.hotstar.com, and ca.hotstar.com. 
Of course, the size of the content library will also differ in the new countries of
 availability, given regional restrictions and licensing deals. For example, most of
 Hotstar's third-party content from international providers on both TV films HBO, Fox, Disney, and Showtime and sports  Premier League, Bundesliga, F1, 
and Wimbledon  is unavailable in US and Canada as competitors already have 
deals in place.  

On the sports side, Hotstar is promising live content in the realm of cricket, 
kabaddi, badminton and hockey, thanks to the deals it has in place for Asia Cup,
 Karnataka Premier League, Pro Kabbadi League, Premier Badminton League, 
and Hockey India League.  Hotstar's FAQ says that it offers over 60,000 hours 
of TV, and more than 2,000 Indian movies, along with live sports.

Membership is not transferable

Interestingly, although Hotstar India only allows one stream at a time,

 international subscribers will be able to play two videos simultaneously. Also,

it's worth pointing out that the Hotstar FAQ mentions that the membership is

 not transferable between the countries Hotstar is available in, so US Hotstar 

users are entitled to watch videos in the US only. Similarly, an Indian user in the 

US will not be able access any content either. Whereas in  this case Netflix, or 

Amazon Prime Video are not like this.
