    You had a UK card linked already?

    No, just UK AddressPal address as my primary address. I don't have a UK Card.

    Do you have UK payment card linked?

    change your account region set to UK
    change your home & 1-click address set to your parcel motel one
    change your 1-click credit card set to Revolut with billing address as parcel motel.


    You will also need to get on to amazon support to switch the region to UK at their end too.

    How do you put revolut as payment?

    I've just gone on to Amazon and:

    Changed my default address to the Belfast Parcel Motel one
    Got onto chat and asked them to change my region to UK so I can access UK video content
    They transferred me to someone else
    The new person changed the setting and asked me to check it
    Went on to prime video and all the matches are now showing up
    Didn't need to restart anything

    I have signed to prime trial for 30 days on Amazon.com

    What do I do?

    They told me I need UK card to watch UK content.

    I essentially copied and pasted your request(changed the spelling of account) and boom she changed it. To be fair though it works on Amazon.co.uk but on primevideo.com it asks me to update my location but won't accept the UK as it's already the UK.

    She said that by changing it it means I cannot use primevideo because primevideo is only for non UK accounts. Makes sense

    To be fair though when I open the Prime App on the phone where I can cast from it does show the Premiership matches.

    You never know, when I get home my Firestick might actually work without casting as well :D

    Exactly the same process for me. All working now. Tried it earlier and was told no. Keep trying if you don't get it first time.

    id be worried about this. amazon allows you get the bbc player etc but the minute you try playing stuff it checks your ip.
    no idea will they geo restrict this based on IP, but my guess is they may have to as premier sports have the rights in Ireland to the 8.15pm liverpool/Everton game while amazon have the rights to UK.
    my guess is everyone will need a UK VPN here.

    I might be trialling some IPTV. it may or may not contain NBCSN and Premier Sports 1 for the first half of the tottenham utd game and then the liverpool everton game after.
    havent set them up before so will see how it goes but testing today its very decent for stuff..
    if anyone knows some decent IPTV provider, let me know. checking an irish crowd today, but i was hoping for sub 10 euro/month...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,092 ✭✭✭Doomofman


    Got them to change it for me there, guy in the chat did mention the IP not being a UK IP, but the games are showing in the Prime Video app for me now...

    Will also say that, I just tried a couple of movies there that I'm sure aren't on the Irish version and they played without issue


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,861 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Vikings was always the test.
    It was available on the UK version, but not on the Irish one.

    It should be splashed all over the home screen.

    They have changed me over to UK but cannot see the coverage at all?

    Must mean I don't have it so (despite me changing my region to UK)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,433 ✭✭✭showpony1


    i didn't change and region just logged into amazon.co.uk and there is a bar across the top advertising premier league with a countdown timer to kick-off in the corner. does this mean i am good to go later or will i still have regional issues when try to watch later?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,160 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    I just went to chat. The 1st guy told me I'd be better off speaking to the Prime Video department; got someone else on the chat straight away who told me he switched me to UK and would be able to watch UK content, so maybe people could ask for that specifically on chat. Time will tell if it works I guess.

    NB I had a parcel motel address on the account set as the 1-click address per previous posts.

    Not necessarily, that banner was there all along. When you click on it, it brings up the teams and you click on them and you end up in a circle of clicking but you may see "not available in your country" so although you'll see the banner on Amazons site or your firestick you will not see the content or even the banner on Prime Video.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,433 ✭✭✭showpony1


    no joy so far with the guy in my chat - he said the region is determined by where i am etc.
    i tried a few different lines on him but no joy. The previous chat isn't deleting for me in order
    to allow me to try again!

    I just got switched via live chat in a few seconds. Suppose it depends on who you're talking to.
