Amazon Video purchases

Hi, Does anyone know if you purchase a film from the Amazon Video store can you watch it in Ireland without resorting to changing DNS settings? I'm not a member of Amazon Prime either. Thanks.

I think you need a vpn or smart dns for their rentals or purchases. Seems an odd move on their part.

Have bought a few films both here (in UK) and back home in Ireland and they seem cross-compatible. ie, can be played regardless of region.

It's the 'free' Prime stuff that's all fuked.

Regarding your question, I think that VPN will cope.
