It wasn't for me, I watched and cast the game earlier and didn't make any changes to my account in any way.

acer911 · 04-12-2019 12:20am

Blocked for me too but I know someone who was able to watch it on the app too for some reason.

Contact amazon support and just ask them to change your prime video region to uk,. They will do it straight away no questions asked. This will also unlock a bigger prime video library. Was watching the city game on prime tonight myself.

Will you miss anything on the IRL version not on the UK?

muffler · 04-12-2019 1:20am

I could watch the games on the desktop PC but wasnt interested in this. When I used the fire TV stick I couldnt get them at all despite having access to their full Prime library. Tried Amazon support and unusually it was a disaster

cronos · 04-12-2019 1:51am

I was asked where I was currently. I answered UK. They said OK. So they did ask a question, but that was it.

Done it earlier but it was like the Spanish Inquisition with the assistant I got on Chat! They eventually changed it after a lot of hesitance.

Is it working for you? I was onto them for nearly an hour, everything they did just didn't work for me

OnLooker · 04-12-2019 9:01am

Just go onto the chat and tell them you have moved to the UK.

If they look for an address just use your parcel motel address.

3 of us did it yesterday and we can watch the all prime UK content

tomwaits48 · 04-12-2019 9:53am

other than the football, is there much more additional content on the UK service?

I did it a few months ago but maybe now they just check your in the UK, either way handy enough to get changed. See points about firesticks not working I wonder are they region locked, I'm using prime on a Nvidia shield

Scolly · 04-12-2019 10:13am

Ya just got on to chat and they fixed it in about 2 minutes

Darby_321 · 04-12-2019 10:25am

Tried fixing it myself by changing my amazon location to my uk parcel motel address but still wasnt working on my firestick so got onto chat and said that i still was getting an error trying to watch the football and they got it working for me in two minutes with no questions asked.

WHL · 04-12-2019 10:26am

I set my location to the U.K. and when I use a VPN I can also access BBC iPlayer on the Amazon box. I had to turn off the VPN to watch the soccer last night though

Mantis Toboggan · 04-12-2019 10:26am

Live chat will switch you over the English version which is much better.

deco72 · 04-12-2019 10:41am

Thanks for the info, just got updated.

scotchy · 04-12-2019 11:00am

In work using a UK internet address, I Just changed my region with 1 click online, Hopefully will work at home later.:)

The_B_Man · 04-12-2019 11:02am

Apparnetly you can just click this link:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/mycd

Then go into Preferences and just change your location.

That above link is gotten to by clicking your account up the top right and clicking "Manage My Content and Devices"

Berty · 04-12-2019 11:03am

Getting onto chat didn't go well for me. What i have is Prime Video free from Eir for 12 months and there was no way of getting around it on chat with two different people telling me what settings to change. They kept referring to me purchasing a NON UK prime video subscription so unless I choose a Prime UK Video subscription they cannot help.

Dont think that will work, mine was set to UK but when I logged into Prime video it had message saying to go to Amazon.com to see list of Republic of Ireland content. Got it changed on the Amazon chat and the message was gone. I was also able to check that the location was changed by going to primevideo.com as when you login it asks you to select you region.

Chat just refused to switch me over. Said I needed a Billing address from UK.

Another tip for you, if you sign up to the Audible 30 day trial as a Prime customer you get two free audiobooks of your choice (it's only one audiobook for non-prime customers). When you then cancel out of that 30 day trial they give you another audiobook of your choice to entice you to stay. You then pick the audiobook and cancel anyway. So 3 audiobooks for diddly squat. Even with your Audible subscription cancelled you can still listen to the books through the Audible app. They also had an offer on for the last few days where the monthly subscription for Audible was dropped down to 3.99 for 4 months which I actually signed up to so I suppose it's worth it on their end as they now have me as a paying customer. And from my point of view I got 4 audiobooks (got another one as soon as I signed up at 3.99 per month) worth 100 euro for 3.99

As for the football, I did a live chat with Amazon last night and the rep changed me over straight away even though I was naive enough to tell him I lived in Ireland.

The_B_Man · 04-12-2019 11:35am

How do I confirm its switched over?
I logged in with my browser and it didn't give me any messages about region. But I couldn't find any mention of the premier league.

Gonna get back onto Amazon...

Flashdan · 04-12-2019 11:36am

I change my location to the UK as I have an address over there but my IP is still an Irish IP so it goes by that and doesn't work.

I only changed it in setting I didn't speak to anyone, I don't know if that makes a difference.

UrbanFret · 04-12-2019 11:37am

If you got the account free through eir could you still change it.?

Berty · 04-12-2019 11:38am

After making some changes the Republic of Ireland banner is gone but the Premiership still doesn't show. I do have a Firestick and Prime never works on it but I can start a video on my phone and cast it to the Firestick. Just can't seem to get around Amazon helping me getting it to work on UK content, premiership specifically. I might try sending an email instead but often their replies are generic and unhelpful.

I tried that too mate and I have a vpn it didn't work.

The_B_Man · 04-12-2019 11:46am

I got them to change it there. Went to primevideo.com and it has a big "Change location" screen now, saying UK is my current location. What do I do here, to get past it?

fast_eddie · 04-12-2019 11:47am

Try installing the Prime Video app on the Firestick.

The Prime Video app that is preinstalled on the Fire Stick doesn't facilitate use in Ireland.

I don't have it with me at the moment but there's one Prime Video app where the app icon has the word "Prime" sitting on top of the word "Video", and the other version has both words side by side.

visual aid:

"Prime
Video" versus "Prime Video"

One works well for me, the other doesn't.

Cheers,
Eddie

Ah well, Lucky I have a reliable "other" site to watch games on :rolleyes:

Newgrange Warrior · 04-12-2019 11:55am

Will this work with the free subscription to prime video with EIR?

I don't think so as it shows as a purchase of prime outside of the UK.

Boxcar_Willie · 04-12-2019 11:57am

Just got mine sorted on chat . They sent me a link .
Has to provide a UK address and register a UK card so just made a virtual Revolut one .
Went back onto chat and they confirmed I'm now set up on UK region & good to go for the EPL .

JPA · 04-12-2019 12:06pm

I got changed to a UK account last night through the chat but no sign of the football on the firestick.

So I used PS4 prime app and it worked perfectly.

Any chance you could post this link or was it specific to you?
On the revolut card did you give them ayour irish mobile to set it up.

FutureGuy · 04-12-2019 12:14pm

Ok, so if I change my amazon prime to the UK, does that mean I cannot deliver stuff from amazon prime to Ireland?

Newgrange Warrior · 04-12-2019 12:17pm

No joy here. Tried with my Eir account, and chat gave me- 'Please subscribe to prime membership from UK and update an UK address in your account. Then we might get an option to change the video territory region from Ireland to UK'.

Birneybau · 04-12-2019 12:17pm

I didn't have to change anything, just used the .co.uk site

Ortiz · 04-12-2019 12:24pm

So I've just been on to chat and they updated my region to UK straight away but said that I have to physically be in the UK to watch the Prem later...

Tall Keith · 04-12-2019 12:56pm

tried watching the city game last night no joy, just went on to chat there and asked them to change the region of my prime video account to the uk, 2 chats wouldnt do it, one said it was a different department and the other said they'd have to get someone to call me to go through it on the phone, i just said i wasn`t available...3rd times the charm, Vignesh changed it immediately no challenging questions asked, just told me to sign in and sign out, and that all the new video content would be available to me... worked a treat cheers

AlanBerr · 04-12-2019 1:02pm

Just had an online chat. See the thread below. Not possible apparently.

Mohan : Please set Uk address and let me know.
After that I"ll able to change the setting.
Me: Please set Uk address? Where?
Mohan : Your account add address.
Me: 1A McKinney Road, , Newtownabbey, Co Antrim, BT36 4PE
Added address to my account.
Are we still connected?
Mohan : Yes.
Please give me a moment.
I've checked, you can add your UK payment card in your account.
Me: Added address, don't have UK payment card
Mohan : Without UK payment card you can't able to access.
Me: Are you sure that's correct? My colleague had a chat last night and he can access from Ireland with no UK payment card.
Mohan : I've made some changes in your account setting, you can please restart your device and then you can able to access.
Me: Still don't see option for Premier League games.
Mohan : Could you restart your device?
Me: I'm using my computer watching vis web browser and on my iPhone. I've logged out go both.
Mohan : It seems that you can't able to access.

anyone know how to verify if i have UK location working?

kpn · 04-12-2019 1:24pm

Hi,

Just few minutes back I called amazon prime video support , I told them that i have a prime video and want to change the region to UK to access & watch UK videos, the person took a minute to change it and asked me to verify I can access the UK videos.
When I log back into my amazon , I am able to add today's premier league match to my watch list. I couldn't watch the match from amazon prime yesterday, but it looks like its ok now.
