    Wtf are you people doing?

    I opened the prime video page on Wednesday evening at halftime for the Liverpool game and couldn't see the PL games. I opened a chat asking to be allowed. A rep answered and within 5 mins had me sorted. I've since ordered from amazon to my Irish address no problems and the prime PL is still showing.

    Irish bank card registered, no revolut. No cocking about with addresses. No vpn active.

    These stories about "this is how you get PL on prime in Ireland" are bollocks.

    Bit of a rant eh!!

    Does anybody know why my amazon 4k fire stick isnt playing in 4K. I didnt realise some of the matches were being shown in 4k as i didnt notice mine on 4k. Have since went into some tv shows and movies on prime video that should be playing in 4k but when i play them i am getting HD down in the bottom left and i believe it should be showing UHD. I am getting around 200mbps so speed is not the issue.

    Anyone have any problems like this?

    Buddy, you clearly have no experience in working in Customer service then! Depending on who you speak to in Amazon, the answer is different.

    I have changed over roughly 7 devices in my workplace for my colleagues and on all 7 occasions Amazon dealt with it differently. In some instances, I ended that chat and went again.

    Give it a minute and it will change. I start an UHD programme and it starts in a low resolution and eventually figures itself out and then when I fast forward something it takes a few seconds to catch up with the resolution.

    My UHD shows start as HD, then go to 1080p and then to UHD where possible. Another TV of mine, non 4K but with a 4K firestick shows it as 1080p HDR instead of UHD but again takes a few seconds to kick into the highest available.

    Otherwise check the auto resolution settings in the Firestick settings.

    That's exactly my point. There is no silver bullet so the posts on "This is what you need to do" are pointless.

    Ok yes i do see it going from HD to 1080p HDR alright. i must just leave it so for a bit and see will it switch to UHD.

    Thanks for your help.

    Some people but stuff from Amazon. Like an online shop and get those things delivered to their house

    Well then, don't switch back. Why would you even need to?

    You can add additional cards and addresses, you don't just have to have one of each...

    You can do both.

    I have 5 addresses registered.
    Parcel Motel (registered address)
    AddressPal
    Sister in Edinburgh
    My work address
    My home address.

    Can choose which address I want to use at any stage.

    Maybe you should try it, instead of trying to be a smartarse.

    Well, you just might want to purchase something with your Irish registered CC for example...

    I switched my Prime Video region to the UK one handily enough. I changed my address to an old address I used to live at in the UK and have my curve card selected as my main card. Amazon CS chaged my region to the UK straight away.

    you dont need to switch anything back, i have had uk Prime for 2 years and buy from amazon no problem, you can have multiple addresses and payment details on file

    I have multiple details on my Amazon account...4x UK addresses and 1x Irish address and 3x Payment options incl a UK addressed Revolut virtual card. Perhaps it was because I changed the default payment from UK to Irish card?
    I made the point just so that others are aware...

    Aware that if you switch back your payment to an Irish CC you may lose your UK Prime Video, as I did. Clear enough...?

    Hello,

    I am trying to sort this issue. I have AddressPal address but on my Revolut account there is no Billing address, it says Home Address only.

    Any idea where could I find this Billing address on Revolut app please?
    Mickeroo wrote: »
    My billing address on my Revolut card is ROI in the app and it works fine, the billing address tied to your card in the 1 click settings on Amazon itself is the one you need to check.

    I posted this in one of the other amazon BA threads:

    Thanks for your help.

    Just to also note that shows are seperated with HD and 4k versions. So, you may search for Viking for example and start playing, but the version you are watching only shows 1080p max. But you actually need to search for Vikings UHD, or 4K or something, can't remember exactly. It's really dumb, I don't know why its done that way. Also for the football some games just weren't shown in UHD. In the last batch just the Liverpool game and the City game were 4k.

    Open a UK Amazon account.
    Link a UK card (Revolut will work)
    Go onto Amazon chat and ask them to make sire your PRIME VIDEO region is set to UK.

    No VPN. Once they switch your account to UK then it doesn't matter what device you watch it on. Have watched it on my One Plus phone and also on my LG TV.

    Where in the Prime Video app, can you see if you got access to football games ?

    Any responses appreciated
