    Will a vpn work on this or does billing address need to be in UK?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,459 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    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.

    Depends who you get.. some argue the toss, some don't


  • Registered Users Posts: 746 ✭✭✭getoffthepot


    Restart your Firestick.
    If still not on go back onto chat .

    I've change the billing address on my amazon account to parcel motel for the revolut card but he still says its a uk card


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,902 ✭✭✭kooga


    Finally got sorted

    I have prime through my eir sub

    Rang amazon Uk - and the agent changed the Prime .com to prime Uk setting and I’m set up !

    No need for credit card
    Didn’t ask where I was


  • Registered Users Posts: 330 ✭✭wildrover444


    Strange. Can't seem to watch the Liverpool match on firestick. Keep getting error code 9912. Rest of matches load fine and the Liverpool match loads fine on the prime video app on my phone. Have my region set to uk. Plugged it out and back in again but same error. Any body else get this error.

    Yeah, first guy I talked to wouldn't do it. Then as per the advice of a previous poster I went in to Prime Video and got them to ring me. The woman I was talking to was only too happy to change the region to UK.
    If you have a Playstation you can watch on tv through the Prime Video app. Have to say I'm impressed with the HD quality.


  • Registered Users Posts: 127 ✭✭kenny111


    just tried now to get my prime changed to the UK and was told it s not possible, i would have to sign up from the UK with a new account.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭Sir Oxman


    I've got it on my PC and phone but cant get it on the firestick


    Same here - a non-existant error 9912 on stick
    Browser is fine.

    EDIT:
    Prime on LG smart tv perfect - HDR.

    It's so weird their own equipment gives so much trouble (and yes, I'm down as UK on my account and everything else works on firestick as UK)

    Yep
    Mad thing is the firestick is the only one that won't stream the game - error 9912 which is nowhere to be found.
    Browser, phone, LG tv Prime app, Xbox Prime app, Roku Prime app - no bother

    EDIT:
    Being a Liverpool fan I was trying the Liv v Eve link all teh time.

    Just tried the MAn U game - that works!
    Sabotage!

    Go to settings - applications - prime video - clear data


  • Registered Users Posts: 127 ✭✭kenny111


    eventually got amazon uk to change to settings to the UK and it worked immediately


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,902 ✭✭✭kooga


    Amazon about a min behind as I got the update from bbc sport - origi has scored and I was waiting for the tv


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,981 ✭✭✭Nigzcurran


    So I signed up to the full amazon Prime deal which includes prime video with a new email address I created, used my parcel motel address and gave my normal Irish debit card details and got the 30 day trial, and all the ball in glorious HD


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 198 ✭✭Gerlad


    Got it working for both prime video on phone and firestick after very helpful customer service rep (and his manager) registered my prime video account with my Addresspal address (and changed the territory) as this account was originally linking to Ireland even though my default amazon.co.uk profile address was uk. I had to reinstall prime video app on phone and deregister and reregister my account on the firestick to activate.


  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭jack in the box


    Got switched to the UK version within 2 hours. Impressive. Could nearly get rid of the IPTV...

    I tried the chat earlier, changed region in a minute. The UHD looks fantastic. I have 4k sky sports, but they do not have HDR yet. It makes it look so much better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,233 ✭✭✭irishchris


    Yep both the city game and the Liverpool game we both in 4k. Arsenal game tomorrow too. Looks superb. The United game in 1080p with hdr looked good too

    Cheers, I did exactly this and now have the proper UK Prime Video library (Seinfeld/Fleabag etc) as well as the Premiership matches as opposed to the crap Irish version with random seasons of The US Office and straight to DVD films from the 80's!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,948 ✭✭✭0gac3yjefb5sv7


    Anyone notice sound cutting out every 30 seconds? Very annoying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,109 ✭✭✭The Ayatolla


    Smooth for me. Looking forward to trying it on 4K.

    Is it available on 4K when watching it via catch-up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,462 ✭✭✭showpony1


    the picture was crystal clear but there was kind of a framerate/lagging issue

    How do you know if its in 4k? Is there a symbol? I was watching Liv vs Everton but I don't think mine was in 4k.

    Using a 4K Firestick and Eir FTTH 300Mbps.

    I had the hdr symbol in the corner of my screen for the Liverpool game, savage picture quality even for the standard Hd for the United game, no lagging or stuttering issues at all

    Maybe a setting on your tv when HDR is activated?

    Something like Trumotion or RealCinema or some other rubbish.

    Steady on now! After today all Prime has are the Stephens Day games.

    But ye it is a fantastic service and I really hope with their $Billions Amazon blow Sky out of the water when next tv deal comes around.

    Amazon got a new package which was the two midweek streaming packages on offer-20 games. So maybe they can’t even go for the main packages as a streaming service?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,592 ✭✭✭davehey79


    was on to them got all the way to being switched and my Revolut shows up as an IE card both the main one and any Virtual ones i create....grrrrr


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    Thanks for the info folks , I had amazon change my region yesterday and worked perfectly last night.

    If you change your region does this mess up your amazon shopping home deliveries?

    Doubt it. You just put in your Irish address at the checkout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,973 ✭✭✭IrishHomer


    I just went to my account and edited my location to my Parcel Motel address, I then tested firestick and uk videos still not playing. I'm also using express VPN for UK.


  • Registered Users Posts: 561 ✭✭✭thenightman


    Just sign up for a new account with a new email address. Set your delivery and billing address to parcel motel, sign up for prime and then cancel the prime trial straight away so you don't forget and get charged a month later. No faffing about with VPN, or getting on to chat to change region etc.

    I also deleted my virtual Revolut card and made a new one just in case old one was associated with my normal Amazon account. UK prime video worked straight away on phone and stick.

    Why would it ? You select your delivery address at the time of shipping.

    The change needs to be done by amazon support.

    I think he is asking whether you still get priority delivery to Irish addresses if you change your region to the UK, or if you will instead have priority delivery to UK addresses and standard delivery to Irish addresses.

    I have about 10 addresses in amazon some irish and some Uk (parcel motel, addresspal etc and a relations address). My account is irish and I get priority delivery to both the Irish and Uk addresses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,098 ✭✭✭Johnny_Fontane


    Cheers for the info guys to change region.

    I used the App on my Sony TV. 4K football is truly something to behold. Nearly hurt my eyes, it was so crystal clear.

    I tried on my Samsung TV but still got audio cut off every 30 seconds. So annoying. Any idea how to update a tv app?


  • Registered Users Posts: 162 ✭✭Picky owner


    Went on live chat support last night,just asked to change prime video location to UK as I work there a lot,he done it straight away no questions asked,lot more content on the UK version,just got lucky.thank you Praveen on live chat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,973 ✭✭✭IrishHomer


    Thanks Boardsies I'm delighted got mine sorted looking forward to watching the games tonight :) whoop whoop :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,152 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    It was mentioned before but worth mentioning again for those who missed it and have a FIRESTICK

    Once Amazon make the changes you need to Deregister the Firestick and log back in again.

    You can download a FireTV App so you can type on your phone to make the email/password input quicker. I have 3 firesticks so would have been a pain otherwise.
