    Get a yearly membership to Amazon Prime for just £59 instead of usual £79 until tonight, presumably midnight.

    Might be worth it for prime music, TV and shows if you can use a VPN with it and/or handy for those with Fire TV's?

    Sorry to dig up an old-ish thread, but I just signed up for the 1 month free prime trial and it looks like Prime Video works for me with no VPN.
    Can anybody else verify this ? I had though you needed a VPN to make Amazon think you are in the Uk....

    If so - Prime is not a bad deal if you're already Netflix as you could cancel Netflix and use Prime Video and get faster shipping and exclusives....

    Which ISP are you with?

    Some Siro users had a few months with a UK IP a whole back I recall, and if UTV still so internet they used to allow UK content flow to you.

    I have a question about amazon prime: hows the German version?
    It's a lot cheaper than the UK one.

    Ahh....
    I had a look on my phone, to make sure it wasn't something to do with my laptop...
    There is a section that's called "TV to watch while abroad" - that's what I was streaming...
    Sorry :(
