    What's the procedure here?
    Do you have to give them an address etc, or just ask them to change your location to UK ?

    I tried that but the guy spent a while doing things and then said he couldn't do it:mad:
    Is there a particular way to have your card or address setup first and then whats the best wording to ask them to do?

    Did you change your devices location to UK? It's in your Amazon settings 'Manage Your Content and Devices'

    I have one of these gathering dust... Do they work in Ireland or do you have to do something specific.

    Go to
    Amazon.com/mycd
    Go to devices tab
    Select to move your device to UK. Or something similar
    It's in preferences section and change locale to uk.
    You will need to restart device after for it to take effect most likely

    It will now be in
    Amazon.co.uk/mycd

    I updated my address on UK account with my parcel motel and set as default also.
    Worked on phone then.

    You don't need to talk to customer support.
    Note that you could have it in amazon.de/mycd or fr or it.
    For most it's the USA though

    Third generation, mic button for Alexa, but also dedicated buttons for the TV being used, ie volume +/- , mute button and power buttons.

    Hope this helps.

    That's the very one I got from currys. 4k Mk3 it is so. :D

    Considering Amazon won't ship to Ireland (hence the likes of PM/PW/etc must be paid for), price is very similar, and in case of any problem - hassle free returns. :cool:

    Yes these are brilliant little piece of kit that can be used for multiple online streaming apps e.g. Nelflix, BBC player, Channel 4, ITV Hub, Daily motion and many more. Definitely worth the money, in fact just ordered two off Currys site a few mins ago. Surprised the order went through as the store don't sell them but I was able to order online.

    Is yours a first generation one?

    If so, upgrade now when they're half price, cos the gen1s will break your heart.

    Did all that. No success. Even went back to chat with no success again. It works on all devices I gave apart from the 4K firestick

    can’t change it either, no such option in devices tab. All I can do is change the name, deregister it, or delete voice recordings.

    Is this on a computer? You go to content and devices and then preferences.

    thanks, done that. Changed location in preferences on firetv device too, still didn't work. Got onto chat, they told me to restart device and it should work. It did. Not sure if they changed some setting or it was just the restart that done it.

    Did u say u were in Ireland or the UK?
    Did they ask you for a UK payment method?

    They told me, I needed a UK address, UK payment method and a UK IP address !!!

    I have my Address Pal UK address but I dont have a UK payment method so they said they couldnt help me and it would only work with an older firestick

    no I didn't have to say anything like that, I just said my fire tv wouldn't update to my new location and play Prime videos. I had changed the location as above, and set my default postal address to my parcel motel one as I'd seen somebody say here. I'd also changed the fire tv settings, preferences, location to the same post code as the parcel motel one.

    They have to change a setting.

    How exactly do I get access to American content on this?

    I have a vpn installed and running and it hasn't changed anything.

    Don't think you are allowed to discuss geoblock circumvention on boards.

    You can get it the same way you get Netflix US. You can also get hulu, hbo and disney if you want to pay for them

    None of the apps are appearing for me though and Prime is staying in the UK catalogue.

    It's the hd one. So new one. Got it when it was down in price last time. Just haven't unpacked yet.

    Thought maybe it wouldn't work in Ireland since I had to ship to addresspal

    Thanks. Added detail to my original post. I couldn't remember what I had done in the section.


    Had wanted to pick up standard one of these for second tv in Argos but they're out of stock now due to all of u buying them up :-P

    Nevermind, Netflix is noticing it's a VPN too and not streaming anything. Seems even UK content isn't working.
    Anyone have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it.

    I installed cetusplay on my phone to send it and install it to the firestick.

    Im just missing the Virgin Media player and dplay.
