    It's absolute rubbish right now. Excluding Bollywood and Anime there's about 100 films in total and maybe 10 of them that aren't either straight to DVD or more than 15 years old.

    If you don't like Jeremy Clarkson, you really shouldn't bother.

    I had an Amazon Prime account and was using a VPN to access it. I got rid of the VPN when I heard they were launching globally but have been denied any access to any video since. I figured I'd wait it out until they launched worldwide officially but I'm still getting a geoblocked message on everything?

    I didn't sign up for the full Prime membership because I couldn't avail of most of it anyway, so I just did the monthly payment for Prime Video. Do I need to unsubscribe and then sign up again?

    EDIT:
    I've cancelled my previous subscription but now I can't find where to sign up for the €2.99 trial? It just keeps linking to Prime and a 30 day free trial followed by £ or $ per month?

    That's a shocking lineup. Even at €18 for 6 months I'm going to pass.

    That's not the full lineup. There's a "see more" button after each heading.

    EDIT: Scratch that. There is more than that picture shows but even then it's pretty poor. Movie wise anyway.

    I got that. But surely, like Netflix, they lead with their strongest titles first.

    I've managed to get it working and have expanded all the categories and it is really really poor. Even in the TV, original content aside, there's nothing.

    I'd hope it's just them getting set up and there'll be more added pretty quickly, otherwise they'll struggle to hold onto anyone after the 7 free days.

    The new service has just been reviewed on RTE (Mary Wilson's programme) by a reporter who had clearly read a company press release rather than tried to use the service.

    So if you've subscribed to Amazon Prime to avail of the postage benefits to NI, can you access prime video via this subscription?

    If you're in NI you'd have been able to use the UK service for years now.

    Ah right. Well, no, because the Irish service is segregated from the UK one and doesn't come with Prime.

    I had Prime purely for the video steaming (used a VPN), selected just video when signing up. I had to cancel my subscription and sign up again for this new one.

    It's really not worth it at the moment though. The catalogue is truly awful.

    Yeah signed up and cancelled immediately. Not even worth it for their own content which most of us have already seen by other means anyway by now.

    I'll look back maybe once it's more established. I have a feeling they will be price matching netflix by then though.

    Yup, if you're signed up to Prime you also get access to Prime Video. You have to call customer care and they'll update your account to Ireland. You'll then be able to watch the full catalogue (or at least most of it) on primevideo.com

    Posted in the Bargain Alerts thread. I've managed to get the Full UK library on my LG TV and Roku boxes using the Irish 7 day trial and getflix. Had to register the devices using the in app code generator as I couldn't use the Irish prime video sign in on those apps as its not a UK account. The apps code generator is a work around sadly not an android option.

    So I can't get a VPN or DNS to work on either my ipad or PS4 since Amazon Prime has officially come to Ireland. I'd definitely rather pay full price for all the UK content and a VPN opposed to €3 (initial price) for the crappy content we get. Not worth renewing for me.

    Is the Amazon Instant Video app for Sony TVs supposed to work?

    Also I've previously had a prime subscription on Amazon.co.uk, how will that work in terms of it being available in Ireland now?

    Is there even an app for Sony TV's in Ireland? My tv is only about 2 years old but there doesn't seem to be an app appearing for me. I've registered the tv with Sony and updated internet content but I'm not seeing the Amazon Instant Video app.

    WAtched the new episode of GT, watched some Man in the high castle, the quality was good, the controls being in the centre of the screen was bad.

    After that everything I clicked on either cost more money or wasn't available in my region.

    Bit pointless rolling it out for one or two shows.
