Amazon Prime Video

thanks - makes sense (their CS is less than helpful) could see them adding Season 3 when it finishes airing although they normally take a mid season break so it could be a while. Also having issues with the subtitles - finally worked for Ep 7 of American Gods and then the same subtitles showed up randomly in the next episode.

Strange question here, I signed up for the (Prime video) trial back in December and everything worked well. It was my understanding this would continue into a subscription. However it now appears that this has just expired and I'm no longer a member.

Also, the "Prime Video" weblink now just redirects to Amazon.co.uk

Anyone else experience the same?

.co.uk prime Does not work in Ireland , think it’s international .com but not sure if that’s related to 5505

You need to go to primevideo.com sign in with your Amazon account and then pick your video region as Ireland. You won't be able to play stuff in Ireland until you do that.

Thanks MJohnson

One small question please - sign in on my PC at home (which is on same IP as the firetv) or is there a primevideo app on the fire tv i need to sign in under?

Thanks

On your PC in the browser, at least that's where I did it. Most of the apps don't have the function of setting the video region.

LiamG

ok - will do
i will let you know if it works!

LiamG

the really weird thing it they seemed to play on my pc!

Works on the PC but not on the fire tv - arggggg

Is it possible to watch Amazon Prime content on a TV here?

I don't have a Smart TV and the Amazon Fire Stick doesn't ship here which I presume means that it won't it work here. Seems pretty flawed that this system doesn't allow for users to watch content on their TV screen.

I mean surprised the Fire Stick doesn't ship to Ireland, but just use Parcel Motel to get around that. I'm using the Prime Video app on my Xbox One to watch stuff on it.

Subscribed to Amazon prime this week, using an Android box connected to the TV for viewing.

I think that the reason the Fire Stick doesn't ship to Ireland is that it won't work here. There is someone else on this thread who says that his Fire TV doesn't work here.

I asked Amazon who answered:

Further, regarding the Fire TV Stick in Ireland, I'd like to inform you that, you cannot access this outside UK. This is the reason you are unable to access.

Clear as mud :-)

Great thanks, I'll look into that!

Hi Suzyq, the Android box is great, basically turns the TV into a smart tv, with the bonous of no restrictions of what app's you put on the box.

Suzyq

Thanks so much Friendo - that worked a treat!

I had a 30 day trial of Prime and everything worked great on my Samsung TV.

The trial lapsed, but a few days later I renewed - and now prime tv gives a region restriction!

I don't know what address I used for the original trial (my real one or my parcel motel one) but no matter which one I use now I can't get it back.

Amazon customer service cannot think outside the box - I want them to compare addresses, check the details of the trial account etc. but they cannot seem to grasp it.

Any ideas?

Have seen one of those big wall add featuring... Amazon Prime Video and Vikings.

Are they coming here for real?

Sad Professor

Does the Fire TV Stick still not work with PrimeVideo Ireland?

LiamG

finally got onto a competent amazon help desk employee. he explained that at present amazon prime tv will NOT stream if you have a fire tv (and i assume fire stick). so you need another android device to stream it. immediately cancelled by amazon prime account. bit stupid if you ask me - if they want us to enter the amazon universe why it cannot be done but their loss

just signed up for my 30 day trial to prime. Opened the app on my TV and WOW all those new films......
But each one i clicked it said i could not watch them because of my region, even the 'original amazon' series!! Surely they are free to licence these to whatever region they choose?. Took me quite some time to find a single item which i could watch here.

I guess netflix has regional restrictions, but at least they don't display the items you can't watch. Amazon is shooting itself in the foot. Wont be continuing with it once the trial ends.
