I'm using Amazon movies and put the UK global IP into a static DNS on the eir f2000.
Has anyone any ideas?

Use the Irish DNS settings if you are Irish based.

Are you changing the DNS settings.? Then you should use the ones listed that are the closest to your location, not what part of the globe you want to access. You change the DNS settings and don't have to change them again.

Log into your account on the Getflix page and it will tell you if it is running with your current IP address. If not it will ask you to hit the update or refresh button on the page.

On your dashboard you should be able to "force ip address update"

Getflix need to know your current external IP address. If this is not static either use getflix app from app store or dydns service to keep your IP undated. I use no-ip with no problems.

Thats not how this works. This is dns redirection not resolving your actual ip. Irish people need to use the Irish dns server which automatically redirects depending on your website configured servers

Refreshing means to force an update of getflix to use your current which is something you may have to do a lot if you have a dynamic ip.

I think the reasons above are probably the main cause of most people's problems

I'm trying to get sky go working as I'm currently abroad and it's not playing ball. Is the subnet mask etc standard numbers?

I did an IP update and it's seeing my external IP.

I need to have the UK IP for Amazon movies as they are geolocked.
I put it in the static DNS field as primary and secondary DNS.

What am i doing wrong?

Put Irish address in primary and if you wish put UK one in secondary. Also in getflix app or dashboard set Amazon region to UK.

uck51js9zml2yt · 02-01-2017 11:17pm

Ok guys...its sorted. Once I got beyond the block(pardon the pun) that it needed to be a UK server to show amazon uk:)

I set the DNS to the Irish IP did a reboot on the server and updated my IP...I'm now watching Emmerdale.......after checking that Amazon worked:D

Has anyone got this to work for Netflix? I get all the US content, but also the proxy error when I try to play. Has anyone got a workaround for this? PM please, if this isn't allowed on Boards!

Got a Fire TV box. Fantastic compared an old android I had. One thing though, BBC iplayer and ITV hub app are not available to me (even though using getflix) on Fire Tv so side loaded them . BBC Iplayer seems fine but ITV hub has a strange vertical aspect when the app is launched even though i can stream from it fine. Netflix is hit and miss getting a lot of geoblocking. Also the Fire remote isn't great, so am using a mouse. Anyone else have these issues with a AFTv box?

Also using a firetvv box and Netflix is temperamental. Works fine most of the time but will stop mid stream on a whim and give the geolockng error.

Are you using An Irish Amazon account on Fire TV. Log in with a uk based account.

Fascinating, a lot of the american network shows are available in browser... NBC, ABC,FOX pbs etc though my ad blocker stops CBS

No. Is your address on Amazon account a UK or rep of Ireland address. You need UK based account for UK apps to appear.

These are the instructions that I used to get the UK apps on my FireTV. Quite old, but worth a shot.

BluesWeeper · 06-01-2017 3:21pm

Great stuff ! instructions work still and all sorted thanks guys.

Just hoping now the lifetime getflix is what it sez on the tin

I missed the $29 offer, but even at $39 seems like a good deal. Still on the trial period and I managed to get the settings right in the LAN (BBC works) but when I try to enter the DNS server on the Technicolor router, it's asking me the IPv6 DNS Server and I can only find the IPv4 on the Getflix pages. Any idea on how I can set this right?

From Getflix Support

Does Getflix support IPv6?

Avatar Getflix Support

The short answer is: No, so if you use IPv6 you will need to disable and IPv6 DNS servers or disable IPv6 completely.

The long answer is: Our software is IPv6 ready, however, our most of our hosting providers currently do not support native IPv6 addresses right through to our servers. Once they do, we will enable IPv6 support and publish the details of the IPv6 DNS servers on our website.

m4r10 · 11-01-2017 5:02pm

Thanks for that. I thought there's a work around this but can't find it ATM. Tried to convert the IPv4 to 6 but still not recognisable by the router and I can't find a way to disable IPv6. Guess I'll stick with the LAN settings for the time being.
