Hi folks is it true I can ask Amazon to change my location from Ireland to UK to avail of more content on prime video?

How do I do it and is it worth it?

You can do this, I think to do it you have to set your delivery address to the UK (not parcel motel) and you have to request their support to make the change. You'll get premiership matches but I think that's the only benefit and I think the downside is that you can no longer shop on Amazon

beauf

Mine is set to the UK. Shopping wasn't working the last few months.
But just the other day I clicked to buy something by accident and it accepted it.
I have the Parcel Motel as my primary delivery. One of the orders I've tried yesterday I changed to direct delivery to Rep of Ireland.
So we'll see if they arrive. I dunno what changed. I'm subbed to Prime as I forgot to turn it off earlier in the year.

Have to say I'm getting tired of Prime TV interface. it defaults to things you have to pay for. Often things that I've put on my watch list, have switched from free to paid afterwards.
I was about to unsub to the whole thing.

Yeah just contact them on the chat and they'll switch you over.

Bit more content, nothing major really.

Ive never had an issue with shipping. I switched the account to UK last December and have had loads of stuff shipped to either my address here or parcel motel without any issue going back and forth.

I had a look at the prime content for the first time in ages after I canceled my subscription and it seems like it's improved hugely?? or maybe thats a slight overreation but seeing house and criminal minds on there I immediately signed back up.


Has this been a trend in that it's improving? i can't even remember watching anything the first time I signed up, think I had the free try and forgot about it and when I checked again before unsubscribing i couldn't see anything I wanted to watch

There's a lot of really good stuff on there now. The problem is finding it.

That would kind of depend on what you like.

The range of films has expanded hugely - for example, I was watching Blade Runner 2049 in 4k yesterday to test a new TV. I also spotted Knives Out, Donnie Brasco, Heat and The Departed.

I stumbled across Mad Men. Also The Americans and Justified.

Treat it like a treasure hunt. Given that one delivery a month pretty much covers the cost of it, I'm happy to spend some time digging.

It's definitely improved the last while, if you have a look at new content going up via just watch or whatever there seems to be a huge amount more content being added than there is for netflix

Finished 'Undone' which I watched based on a recommendation from here. Thought it was great.

Started watching Man in the High Castle now

It's not on Prime. You can get it with an addon subscription to Arrow TV. Free month's trial if you want to binge it.

The American version is on Prime.

the paid stuff is mixed in with the free shows/movies. but the majority of the menu should be the free shows. if you search for films, they will probably show up, but many will be just for rental

AFAIK you can't share prime video to a different amazon account if you are in Ireland. But you can use your wife's account details to log in and view.

Recently on Prime Video they introduced different accounts like Netflix does so each family member can have their own main screen.

Under suspicion.... HACKMAN vs FREEMAN.....strange and intense movie..... worth a watch though

Enjoying the Spurs All or Nothing series so far. As much as I like Pochettino, I think the series would have been much less captivating if he were him at the helm instead of Mourinho, who is really carrying the programme for me.

Didn't really like it in comparison to Sunderland till I die. Very edited and scripted in parts I think.

We watched Fracture last night - Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling. A decent (albeit a bit slow going) legal thriller with some nice twists along the way.

Only the first three episodes.

The remaining five episodes will be released weekly.

ah, this I didn't know. Personally I prefer this release model.

I binged the first season in a weekend last year and kind of ruined it for myself. This was puts manners on me.

Apple follow this model as well. I suppose it doesnt make sense to put millions into each episode, for people to binge them over the course orf a week.
