I'm using Amazon movies and put the UK global IP into a static DNS on the eir f2000.
Has anyone any ideas?

Use the Irish DNS settings if you are Irish based.

Are you changing the DNS settings.? Then you should use the ones listed that are the closest to your location, not what part of the globe you want to access. You change the DNS settings and don't have to change them again.

Log into your account on the Getflix page and it will tell you if it is running with your current IP address. If not it will ask you to hit the update or refresh button on the page.

On your dashboard you should be able to "force ip address update"

Getflix need to know your current external IP address. If this is not static either use getflix app from app store or dydns service to keep your IP undated. I use no-ip with no problems.

Thats not how this works. This is dns redirection not resolving your actual ip. Irish people need to use the Irish dns server which automatically redirects depending on your website configured servers

Refreshing means to force an update of getflix to use your current which is something you may have to do a lot if you have a dynamic ip.

I think the reasons above are probably the main cause of most people's problems

I did an IP update and it's seeing my external IP.

I need to have the UK IP for Amazon movies as they are geolocked.
I put it in the static DNS field as primary and secondary DNS.

What am i doing wrong?

Put Irish address in primary and if you wish put UK one in secondary. Also in getflix app or dashboard set Amazon region to UK.

Ok guys...its sorted. Once I got beyond the block(pardon the pun) that it needed to be a UK server to show amazon uk:)

I set the DNS to the Irish IP did a reboot on the server and updated my IP...I'm now watching Emmerdale.......after checking that Amazon worked:D

Has anyone got this to work for Netflix? I get all the US content, but also the proxy error when I try to play. Has anyone got a workaround for this? PM please, if this isn't allowed on Boards!

Got a Fire TV box. Fantastic compared an old android I had. One thing though, BBC iplayer and ITV hub app are not available to me (even though using getflix) on Fire Tv so side loaded them . BBC Iplayer seems fine but ITV hub has a strange vertical aspect when the app is launched even though i can stream from it fine. Netflix is hit and miss getting a lot of geoblocking. Also the Fire remote isn't great, so am using a mouse. Anyone else have these issues with a AFTv box?

Also using a firetvv box and Netflix is temperamental. Works fine most of the time but will stop mid stream on a whim and give the geolockng error.

Fascinating, a lot of the american network shows are available in browser... NBC, ABC,FOX pbs etc though my ad blocker stops CBS

No. Is your address on Amazon account a UK or rep of Ireland address. You need UK based account for UK apps to appear.

These are the instructions that I used to get the UK apps on my FireTV. Quite old, but worth a shot.
