    I've still got access to everything using Getflix. Don't know if that will change in future.

    Does it work properly if you use a smart dns instead of a vpn? They awful pricks. I can get hbo max no problem from the US with a vpn and a paid subscription. To be honest watched feic all on prime anyway. Have a fire stick though so was handy for some things. I assume if I change my video location from Uk to Ireland the Home Screen prime video links won’t work any more? It’s a known issue and can of course be gotten around by going into the prime video app.

    The football quality was quite good in 4K hdr.

    Ah well.

    There was a link in the email to just change the Primevideo region (rather than the full Prime region change)

    No point blaming Amazon as they are simply complying with legal contracts. Have a go at Nigel Farage maybe.

    Amazon must act as they will lose subscribers, they will have to get content which is licenced for uk/Ireland as other channels do!

    Same here. It should be pretty solid I’d say. I use it mainly for iPlayer but I did notice on their homepage they have a setting for Prime set to UK so all good I’d say.

    No they are pricks. We can tune all Uk free to air satellite channels here. Who’s guarding the bbc contract deals?

    VPN will get you us prime video but you Irish /UK prime membership doesn't follow to the states. How are you watching us content? Did you take out a US prime membership?

    "free to air" means just that. Amazon Prime Video is a subscription service.

    The argument is they have all these content deals. I wouldn’t mind if it worked with a vpn. What do people do in the uk that want to use a vpn for security reasons?

    They turn off the vpn for prime video. VPNs aren't actually very good for security.

    I lost all my good content and then turned on my VPN (Express) , set it to London, and now it's all back. I'm using the Fire stick on my TV.
