    Just to be clear this was a glitch you had to do. Jumping threw a few hoops to get it for this price.

    Prime video works perfectly on my Sheild.

    If you get onto the chat support and ask them to change your region to UK on their end, it will work. I did it a couple of weeks ago.

    I also got the 4k one recently and Prime is working fine. I didn't do anything so not sure what the difference is.

    Yes, but you might need to contact Amazon via chat to change your Prime country from Ireland to the UK.

    Hi,
    Had the same issue, I could use my prime on the iPad or smart tv without issue, contacted them via online help and resolved on the spot, could not ask for more :)

    Parcel Motel/Address Pal.

    What's the reason for buying a 4k one? Aren't all 4k tvs smart tvs? Wouldn't they have the apps you want on the tv?

    I only ask this because I recently bought a 4k tv and haven't plugged my Firestick back in.

    Some lack features, on the fire stick you can install most android apps. On the smart TV if something(which is lots) is not on the manufacturers store you are stuck.

    I was using smartiptv on my Hisense then all of a sudden it disappeared. It wasn't on the Hisense store. I did a factory reset, etc. That's why i ended up getting the Firestick, its much faster and i have a new IPTV app which is a lot better now.

    There's a few IPTV apps on my tv (LG). Have SmartIPTV already installed on a Samsung smart tv. Might install it on LG.

    My tv will be replacing my Pi too as I discovered it can access my NAS drive too.

    Does the firestick come with the wall adapter?

    Also do you need the Ethernet cable or is the Wi-Fi range pretty good?

    Comes with cable and plug into wall


    It's wifi and range is decent, but it does depend on how far you plan on putting it from the wifi

    Is there much difference between the 4k model and regular aside from the screen resolution?

    If Amazon won't switch your account region, you can just sideload the standalone Android version of the PrimeVideo app. I tried it a while ago and it worked with Prime Video Ireland.

    I'd definitely recommend the 4k stick over the second gen model. It's much more powerful and even if you don't need it now it's better be future-proofed against future Amazon firmware updates.
