I just signed up thinking "Brilliant, finally a chance to use something like the UK version" but.... is it just me or is there nothing on it?

The tv show list is very, very small and the range of films aren't exactly incredible. Will they get around to adding more of the content the UK version gets I wonder? (Or will damn licencing get in the way)

So you are saying its not the same catalogue as Prime Video in the UK?

That would be a strange move.

No it wouldn't be. It would be perfectly normal. Digital media distribution rights vary from country to country.

Amazon could have a licence for A show in the UK and apple or Netflix may have the rights in Ireland.

It's €2.99 a month for 6 months. At that price it's worth a go. Good bargain.

I have a fire stick as it is using Kodi as it is.

Does it work to sign up with Irish address and credit card and use smart DNS set to UK to get full content?

Sign up with an account for a month (you get a free month), cancel it. Then after 1 month, open up another amazon account with a new email address and do the same

Off the phone with Amazon.

Gas. Doesn't work on the Fire stick.

EDIT Spoke to a different team. 1st team was some Irish crowd and gave me false information in the end after 32 mins on the phone. Requested a fresh call and got some other team, fixed in minutes.

Is the 2.99 a full prime membership or literally just prime video?

You can watch selected UK content, namely the "TV to Watch While Abroad" selection, you can't watch the Irish selection of Primevideo or the full UK content.

When you log on to Primevideo with an active UK Prime membership you get this:

Do you live outside of the United Kingdom?
As an Amazon Prime member, you can watch a limited selection of videos on Amazon.co.uk. If you live outside of the United Kingdom, you may also be able to access PrimeVideo.com by contacting Customer Service to update your account.

So option a.) [insert appropriate method to make amazon believe you are in the uk] or b.) to sign up for primevideo with a different address to gain access to the limited Irish content.

Yes, but appeared to have needed a lot of Amazon interaction. Made me do a factory reset so had to load Kodi back on afterwards.

Both now working.

But that is with a primevideo subscription you took out, not a UK prime subscription?

Did you enter a UK address as your home address in amazon?
You have to do that too as well as the vpn.
