Amazon Prime Video, General Discussion [Ireland]

I opened the Prime app on my android phone and the cast button is there.
I just casted a trailer clip to the tv, working fine.

cailinoBAC · 11-07-2019 9:22pm

Oh this would be great!
BTW final New Girl season is there now in case anyone apart from me interested. It wasn't last time I checked.

Amy tried chromecast yet? I don't see the usual icon that allows you to cast?

I watched a full show, so yes it works (I did have to restart my phone though).

From what I've read, they'll very shortly integrate into Google Home too so if you've got a Google Home kit you'll be able to watch via voice commands.

Thanks. Wouldn't work on my app but it wasn't updated. Just updated app and is working. Happy days

steve_r · 12-07-2019 12:58pm

Option wasn't available for me on PC yesterday but will try the app later.

Delighted they've done this - felt it was so counter productive to block casting in the first place both from a chromecast and amazon perspective.

Is Poldark on Irish Amazon? Series 4 specifically?

It seems to be available to buy anyway. I don't have Prime membership.

I meant on the streaming service, but I checked and it doesn't appear to be. Thanks anyway.

Netflix have the first three, I'd imagine 4 will drop there first before Amazon.

Hi folks, I signed up for the 12 month Prime Deal that going. Logged into Prime TV via app on my TV. I can access Lego Batman, Fleabag Season 1 and final season of Person of Interest, does that mean I'm on the UK version. I haven't been on to chat to change region or anything yet as not sure what region I'm in but from reading a coupe of pages back it seem the above are UK content?

Super, from reading other thread I thought I'd have to contact support to change region. I did use Revolut and UK billing address to sign up to prime so maybe it just defaulted to UK

I read somewhere that it was on Amazon but maybe it meant the US. My mum's wanting to catch up before the last series starts tomorrow night but she'll just have to wait, it seems.

I checked on the prime app, not the amazon site. It would seem to be available to buy to stream, but not 100%. That is what I meant.

When you click to buy it, it says you need uk bank card (revolut will do) and a uk address (addrsspal will do).

Sleeper12 · 21-07-2019 2:59pm

Just watched "The Upside". Best movie I've seen on Prime to date. I highly recommend it

dulpit · 26-07-2019 12:02pm

Random one - I have been using prime video via chromecast, the picture quality seems to be of a higher quality than when using the app is PS4. One thing though, if the tablet I am casting from has the screen locked, it won't go onto next episode of series until I unlock screen. I don't need to interact with the prime app or anything, just unlock it...

just reading this now , do you have a prime subscription or a prime video Irish subscription ?

After about 5 attempts they finally updated me the English content, happy days!

Ludo · 31-07-2019 9:22pm

Seinfeld gone??? Was watching some last night but now they are all marked as unavailable...ffs.
Definitely time to cancel.

Marje · 31-07-2019 10:24pm

Decided to try again this evening to switch prime region to UK. After transferring me to a 3rd person, he told me I was changed.... but when I go to prime video on my phone, I can't find Fleabag season 1 or person of interest

Do I need to do something else, think I was told a lie to get rid of me

Try sign out and back in.

I signed out and clear cache and data.

On my phone I can chromecast Turn Washington Spies but when I check on my laptop, it tells me the title isn't available in your location - I haven't a clue what region I am on now.

When I search for Fleabag season 1 on my laptop, it tells me it's included with my prime membership but when I go to watch it tells me it isn't available

Looks like I will have to get back onto them tomorrow.

Looks like it. I though something might happen as many episodes were listed as unavailable and now all are unavailable

Was it just a glitch? I'm on Amazon UK and it's working fine now

Mantis Toboggan · 06-08-2019 9:06am

Does Justified get any better?

I'm 3 episodes in and while it's grand it's not really grabbing me so far.

Yes, it gets better. Very much so.

i just went into a chat session with amazon and within 30 secs i know have prime uk , just tested fleabag season 1 , working fine

steve_r · 06-08-2019 3:46pm

I got asked for a UK card with a UK billing address last time out :mad:

Same, heard rave reviews of it, and I do like Timothy Olyphant, but I watched a couple of episodes and it just seemed really soap-ish to me...maybe I need to give it more time?

Prime definitely worth it right now for Man in High Castle, Deustchland 83/86, The Boys, Jack Ryan at least...plus all the other stuff. Does Prime have The Expanse? Also an amazing show, like Battlestar Galactica 2004 for the current day.

iamtony · 06-08-2019 7:53pm

I've got on to the UK prime after a phone call to them and I've loads of content. All I have is a prime membership and get the included with prime stuff.

My question is how much better is the paid version? It's hard to find info online.

You are getting access to the 'paid version' through your Prime Subscription. There isn't any difference in the content you'd be seeing if you were paying for Amazon Prime Video as a stand alone subscription.

Oh really. I was wondering why I couldn't find anything else on it that wasn't to rent or buy. That's great thanks, I didn't know that. God bless Amazon with that and prime music and free books and magazines etc. It's a brilliant service.

I felt the same and wondered what the big deal was. It does get better for me though it's the second season where the quality takes a huge jump and it's great from there on. It's just a little bit of a rocky start.

Agent Coulson · 12-08-2019 8:27pm

Futurama added to Prime.

Sleeper12 · 12-08-2019 8:43pm

I just added a Revolut card & can now rent & buy movies and programs.

How much of it? The Fox seasons, or does it include the Comedy Central ones?

Love that show so much, well up for a rewatch (see if those latter seasons are better on second viewing)

All 10 seasons except for S6 is showing up for me as available under Prime.
