    Just noticed Justified's on this. Don't know if it was recently added or I just somehow managed to miss it. Regardless, a rewatch is in order.

    Thanks. Been meaning to watch Justified for a while now. Never noticed it on Prime. Tis a crap interface alright. And terrible at highlighting shows similar to your previous viewing.

    I'm saying I like Prime video, there's surprisingly large amount of older shows like House that I enjoying dropping in an out of to have as background noise when I'm working on stuff.

    Amazon Prime video via the Eir deal is not straightforward. I had to use the same email I use for eir, the email I use for my regular amazon account was not accepted. I then connected a 4K fire stick to the new amazon video account, i tried Fleabag first and a fair few other titles, but that all won’t play with an error code 5505 for invalid location.

    Can someone please give me an example of a title that should definitely play so I can check it is working?

    Why are there so many not available in Ireland?

    That said some of the above comments that it does not work i Ireland via a Firestick are worrying :-(

    To close my story. I had to create a new amazon prime account (with email to match my eir account email), separate from my normal amazon account, I bought the firestick on the later rather than the former, where there are no purchases. I ended up adding my revolut card and gave it a british address (parcelmotel). After doing this Amazon chat support did their thing and the Firestick now works 100%!

    Is there much difference between what you get on Prime in Ireland and the UK? I know the music streaming won't work here but seemingly is included in Prime in UK?

    Is it easy enough to switch regions. Just phone support and request?

    I’ve added a UK address (sisters) and linked my revolut card to my Amazon.com account.
    I might run into a problem as my account is .com rather than .co.uk.

    More new third party content: Monk, Catfish, Lost, NCIS LA, and most of what South Park they didn’t already have (though that show seems to be on everywhere). And some Fireman Sam for the kids.

    thanks for that, I had a look at Starzplay last night, its got a good bit on there I would watch, including a decent introductory offer. Does anyone know if you can register for Starzplay outside of the US, or UK even? I tried last night, but as far as I can see its not available in Ireland...

    It’s available via the Apple TV app at €4.99 pm, seven day trial. Not a whole pile on it, mind you, but still probably better value than Apple TV+!

    Was wondering what advantages of a UK prime account these days
    I.e what shows are available on UK region as oppose to ROI?

    Just ask them via online chat to switch it over for you and you can have a look. I get a message every couple of days to see if I want to switch back.

    Not sure exactly what shows I've been able to watch since switching to the UK version, but the main reason I've done it is that it makes the fire TV stick work properly with prime video

    Loads of great older series on Prime now. Justified, Monk, Psych, Parks & Rec, Bones to name but five. As well as excellent new stuff like Good Omens, The Patriot, The Boys, The Expanse and Bosch.

    Just a shame it's such a fugly layout of a site/app. I know they're encouraging you to buy things in amongst the prime shows and films but bleugh it makes for crappy browsing.

    I think I've watched more Prime recently than Netflix.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I think the option to "buy" stuff is only on the UK version, the Irish one doesn't have that. But both are very bad from a user interface perspective anyways.
    But I agree, lots more great content now, especially for TV.

    Got Prime as part of Eir TV deal. Still can't figure out where to input the code to watch a programme. Keeps referring me to Prime/Video online. Very frustrating.

    Any body suffer similar issues?

    I presume you are trying to register a smart tv or something? When I joined I opened the app on the TV and it had the code there and the exact website address to go to to enter that code online to register the device. Is the website to go to not being displayed on your devise?

    Go to www.primevideo.com/mytv login and and enter your code there

    I immediately get the option to add the code see screenshot. Maybe contact support and get them to register the devise for you if you dont have the option.
