    Just make sure you are subscribed to Amazon.co.uk and not Amazon.com

    I was on the US site for ages without realising it. I used to get emails from Amazon and everything was priced in dollars. Contacted them via live chat and the rep reset my region to UK (might have been Ireland?)

    Can I ask, what sort of error are people getting?

    I was able to view all the matches the other days this month on PC, no VPN. But trying to view the Spurs one now and I get:

    This page is temporarily unavailable.
    We apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you try again later.


    I figured it may have been to do with ordering something from Amazon to my Irish home address for xmas.
    When I signed up I think I had Parcel Motel UK address selected.
    Changing it back didn't work :(

    Just to update on this in case it's affecting anybody else, I basically just got on chat like others here and asked them to change me to UK and they obliged.

    Working fine now, even with Irish IP address.

    This is how it went down:

    Slightly OT but does anyone know if it is possible to cast a phone streaming to an Amazon fire stick in the tv?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭in2dark


    The picture is appalling

    Hurts my eyes watching the games

    Amazon are 45 seconds behind Premier Sports HD (on Eir) which itself is 5 seconds behind real time (according to the sofascore app)

    I imagine sky via the dish is closest to real time.

    Some are UHD hdr, rest are HD. You'll see UHD on the icon if the game is in UHD.

    The quality has been excellent today to be fair . Their UHD is unreal though .. best picture I've ever watched a match on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,929 ✭✭✭antimatterx


    I’ve watched all 4 league games today on prime. It’s been incredible quality!!

    Love prime having the games, but they are 70 seconds behind the live action.

    That has to be remedied


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,042 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    would much rather it on normal tv
    keeps freezing, quality of stream up and down, paused for a minute and it just went off the screen, took ages to get it back
    not a fan

    virgin fibre supposedly here. is brutal lately
    middle of castleknock, suburban estate and our road cannot get Eir fibre lines so i'm stuck with this muck or go back to 2mb broadband (which to be fair was about as good as what we get now)

    That's obviously an issue at your end, I've had it on since 12 midday and there hasn't been a glitch or pause all day.

    Ever think of investigating the problems as they're most likely your side. If you're using WiFi plug a decent laptop with gigabit Ethernet port in a test your wired speed. It's most likely local interference, nothing to do with your provider

    This.

    Streaming is the future, but the delay is a problem that has to be resolved asap.

    There isn't much they can do. The media needs to be compressed and then sent huge distances over the public internet then uncompressed on your device. Just mute your live notifications, 90 secs isn't a huge deal

    Tv app came good in the end, but was 50s behind streaming directly off the website, so just watched it on the tablet.
