    Thats fine if you live near one of their delivery destinations. Just checked it there and it would take me an hour to get to the closest one in Clare. And they have only 2 places.

    +1 for Parcel Wizard, cheaper too (marginally) ;)

    I'd say mostly because Amazon prime video doesn't work in Ireland. They are only licensed to give it to UK users.
    So when an Irish person gets their hands on a fire tv, most of the standard/Amazon content won't work.
    You have to go for 3rd party apps to get anything useful.

    So, basically this item doesn't work properly here in Ireland. Not much of a bargain so.

    the item works great....some of the apps, such as amazon prime won't work unless you go through ha DNS or VPN service (which is very easy to do). Regardless Prime Video is not a free service, there is an annual subscription.
    As other posters mentioned, there is plenty you can still do with this stick. There are loads of apps and games. It is great for using plex or kodi for streaming local network media, there are numerous options with regards to add ons for Kodi.
    I owned loads of these type of devices, starting with the MK80x, google chromecast, lightweight media centre PCs, Apple TV, generic android boxes, amazon Fire TV, amazon Fire Stick etc
    The ones I always go to by default are the fire tv and fire stick. There are well designed, well engineered, great UI etc...
    So I'll politely disagree with your dismissal.

    You need to read the thread and do a bit of research before making such statements
