    Just on this. Can you get US Netflix working on your fire stick? No matter what i do for it it's picking up I'm using a VPN. Works perfect on all other android and pcs. Just not the fire stick.

    Getflix is useless for that.

    Express VPN works for me on my firestick.

    Should I use a VPN to order from NordVPN? They apply 23% tax for Republic of Ireland

    I don't have the 4k version of the stick, but it has entirely replaced my downloading and HTPC habbits.

    Don't want to like, get an infraction or anything. But worth googling what you can do with these

    FireStick has been my hub for entertainment for about 2 years now. While I've toyed with changing for an Nvidia Shield, at 1080p I just don't see any reason to change

    YouTube is free, you need to use the browser to get there right now, but standalone app is coming back thankfully. The rest are subscription services...

    The browser is pretty good in fairness, it plays YouTube flawlessly and only takes 3-4 seconds to start up.

    Do you think this will reduce to £35 again anytime soon? On lookout for one but not in major rush for it. Looking to pick another one up for sister aswell.

    Switch your location to the UK. You might need to contact Amazon and claim you're in the UK via Northern Ireland.

    Amazon Prime video works in ROI without pretending your in UK

    Just log into your Amazon account and away you go

    Not with the Firestick which doesn't work with Prime Video Ireland. You need to either get Amazon to switch your account to the UK (which they may or may not do) or sideload the Android version of the Prime Video app.

    Thanks, got onto Amazon & they sorted it out within a few minutes.

    Maybe this is true now with the latest firmware but it certainly wasn’t in the past. I have had every version of the fire stick and none of them worked with Prime Video ireland.
