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

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.
...

Can ppl on here not tell Amazon they're in Ireland when trying to switch? If this is pointed out enough times they might start paying attention and introduce proper geoblocks. I switched to UK content a good while back without any address/card changes but I never mentioned I was in Ireland when on the chat either!

Where is live chat on amazon.com???

EDIT: Found it

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.

My experience a few minutes ago was the exact same. I did have my default address set to a UK address beforehand just in case that might be checked.

Sloppy_Joe · 04-12-2019 2:05pm

chat has told me it's not possible without UK payment card. Anyone get it without one?

Sponsorgate · 04-12-2019 2:07pm

change your account region set to UK
change your home & 1-click address set to your parcel motel one
change your 1-click credit card set to Revolut with billing address as parcel motel.

You will also need to get on to amazon support to switch the region to UK at their end too.

chalkitdown1 · 04-12-2019 2:09pm

I just got mine changed just there via live chat.

Conversation went like this.

Christ, if I knew it was this easy I would have changed it a year ago.:pac:

Dunno if it makes any difference but I had my main Prime address set to my UK AddressPal one before I got onto chat.

Just get a virtual card on Revolut , it will work as a UK card .
Also anyone told that they need to be physically in the UK just use a VPN .
You can get a free trial on www.unlocator.com and very simple to setup .

Keep trying new chats... i think there is a specific department thats able to change it... the 3rd chat i was in she transferred me... and he did it no questions

UrbanFret · 04-12-2019 2:11pm

Not worth the effort for the handful of games they're showing. Back to the dodgy box.&#55357;&#56397;

I connected into chat and just said please move my acocunt to a UK account so I can watch the premier matches, they jusy replied "That is done now ,do you need anything else" and I logged out and in and have them.

No, just UK AddressPal address as my primary address. I don't have a UK Card.

How do you put revolut as payment?

DublinCJM · 04-12-2019 3:36pm

I've just gone on to Amazon and:

Changed my default address to the Belfast Parcel Motel one
Got onto chat and asked them to change my region to UK so I can access UK video content
They transferred me to someone else
The new person changed the setting and asked me to check it
Went on to prime video and all the matches are now showing up
Didn't need to restart anything

I have signed to prime trial for 30 days on Amazon.com

What do I do?

They told me I need UK card to watch UK content.

I essentially copied and pasted your request(changed the spelling of account) and boom she changed it. To be fair though it works on Amazon.co.uk but on primevideo.com it asks me to update my location but won't accept the UK as it's already the UK.

She said that by changing it it means I cannot use primevideo because primevideo is only for non UK accounts. Makes sense

To be fair though when I open the Prime App on the phone where I can cast from it does show the Premiership matches.

You never know, when I get home my Firestick might actually work without casting as well

Exactly the same process for me. All working now. Tried it earlier and was told no. Keep trying if you don't get it first time.

Got mine done too however handy that I had something delivered to uk address recently.

id be worried about this. amazon allows you get the bbc player etc but the minute you try playing stuff it checks your ip.
no idea will they geo restrict this based on IP, but my guess is they may have to as premier sports have the rights in Ireland to the 8.15pm liverpool/Everton game while amazon have the rights to UK.
my guess is everyone will need a UK VPN here.

I might be trialling some IPTV. it may or may not contain NBCSN and Premier Sports 1 for the first half of the tottenham utd game and then the liverpool everton game after.
havent set them up before so will see how it goes but testing today its very decent for stuff..
if anyone knows some decent IPTV provider, let me know. checking an irish crowd today, but i was hoping for sub 10 euro/month...

Doomofman · 04-12-2019 4:33pm

Got them to change it for me there, guy in the chat did mention the IP not being a UK IP, but the games are showing in the Prime Video app for me now...

Will also say that, I just tried a couple of movies there that I'm sure aren't on the Irish version and they played without issue

Soarer · 04-12-2019 4:47pm

Vikings was always the test.
It was available on the UK version, but not on the Irish one.

Do we know if the games on Amazon are going to be 4K?

Tony H · 04-12-2019 4:51pm

just got it changed using the amazon video chat link , he asked if i was in the uk ,i said i was in N Ireland , had parcel wizard address as default , he asked what device i was using ? i said amazon fire tv , he said no problem give him a minute and when he came back he asked me to check if it was working , i deregistered the fire tv and logged in again and im watching the hightlights of the city burnley at the moment , thanks to all the previous posters who made this possible .

Sloppy_Joe · 04-12-2019 4:58pm

I signed up for 30 day trial of prime on amazon.com

Will this work?

It should be splashed all over the home screen.

FutureGuy · 04-12-2019 5:31pm

They have changed me over to UK but cannot see the coverage at all?

Must mean I don't have it so (despite me changing my region to UK)

showpony1 · 04-12-2019 5:46pm

i didn't change and region just logged into amazon.co.uk and there is a bar across the top advertising premier league with a countdown timer to kick-off in the corner. does this mean i am good to go later or will i still have regional issues when try to watch later?

Sappy404 · 04-12-2019 5:54pm

I just went to chat. The 1st guy told me I'd be better off speaking to the Prime Video department; got someone else on the chat straight away who told me he switched me to UK and would be able to watch UK content, so maybe people could ask for that specifically on chat. Time will tell if it works I guess.

NB I had a parcel motel address on the account set as the 1-click address per previous posts.

Not necessarily, that banner was there all along. When you click on it, it brings up the teams and you click on them and you end up in a circle of clicking but you may see "not available in your country" so although you'll see the banner on Amazons site or your firestick you will not see the content or even the banner on Prime Video.

showpony1 · 04-12-2019 6:24pm

no joy so far with the guy in my chat - he said the region is determined by where i am etc.
i tried a few different lines on him but no joy. The previous chat isn't deleting for me in order
to allow me to try again!

FHFM50 · 04-12-2019 6:36pm

I just got switched via live chat in a few seconds. Suppose it depends on who you're talking to.

Bozo Skeleton · 04-12-2019 7:14pm

I just contacted Amazon about this. They told me UK only residents can watch.
I have the app on my PS4, and I use a DNS proxy ( I can watch BBC iPlayer), but no joy with Amazon. I have a prime account and added a UK address. Still no joy.

CormacLH · 04-12-2019 7:22pm

I tried the web chat and he wasn't to keen to do it for me. He said If I was in the UK it would update which was fair enough because thats the truth.

but me no likie

Anyway went onto prime video and went to the support page. There you can get them to ring you. They rang straight away and I just told them I wanted my region changed and there was nein problem. Have the browser open so you can check. If its successful you should not be able to watch video anymore instead you will access it via amazo/gp/video/ or something similar. The prime video page should now prompt you to update your location which you do not want to do because that means its already been changed to UK.

Good Luck !

Boxcar_Willie · 04-12-2019 7:32pm

Register a UK card , if you don't have one then set up a virtual one on Revolut , that will show at their end as UK .
