    Problem with using it via Sky is unless you have a more recent version of Sky Q you may lose HDR, and in terms of sound will may also lose Atmos over using a standalone app on the TV. Same applies for Netflix in fairness.

    Delighted to have this as a sky app .. not a huge effort having to use LG app but a lot of the time I forget it was there so a lot easier to navigate.
    Works fine for me all programs playing as they should.
    I did try set it up on my phone but it didn’t work so had to use the laptop to set it up.

    Nice simple setup. Scan a QR code from the TV screen and it's done.

    ^^^ Regarding the Sky Q Prime app

    If you have Amazon Prime video UK and sign in to primevideo.com to register the Sky box, it'll try and change your location to Ireland.
    To avoid this enter the TV code shown on the TV at signin on amazon.co.uk | Prime Video | Settings | Your devices | Register another device.

    (I didn't know if the QR code would also work with a UK Amazon account - wasn't going to risk it). Perhaps someone could confirm?

    Firestick isn't supposed to be sold in Ireland so I wouldn't have thought Now TV Ireland would work. Maybe a workaround might suffice in the next few days

    I have Now TV UK and it works perfectly. I can now get rid of the Now TV stick & free up a HDMI port

    Interestingly the Sky press release does mention roll out on Fire Sticks in Ireland in early 2021. It’s possible they mean the expensive, never discounted and neigh on impossible to get Fire Tv Basic Edition.

    Interestingly I took a look on Amazon.de and they have no problem shipping a Fire Stick to Austria, but (just like Amazon.co.uk) won’t do so to Ireland. Odd the way we are treated in this regard.

    QR code brings you to your UK account so no issues.

    Went on my SkyQ box last night, and couldn't see the Amazon app listed anywhere under Apps. Am I missing something?

    Dont know if its been mentioned before now but I watched the first season of Condor last year and it was excellent. However season 2 was very disappointing.

    Can't wait. I'm hoping it's better than season 4 which was not as strong as earlier seasons.

    Just signed up to prime and started watching the Americans which is 5 seasons and meant to have a good ending.
    Can anyone recommend other good series that have a natural ending or without falling off the cliff quality wise

    Yeah I loved that series too. Don't think it's name did it any favours, but then I'm not sure what name would have fit it better.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Depends what you're into but Jack Ryan, Hunters, Looming Tower, Man In The High Castle all worth a watch imo

    I think Justified is on the Irish prime, if you haven't watched that, then do, and you can thank me later (if it's not on prime here in Ireland, apologies but track it down!)

    Bosch is also good (though not Justified good) and as has been suggested Patriot is an excellent black comedy/drama.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.
