    They will have one more season of Premier League football in the UK before they are out (new deals take effect from August 2025).

    the rights to those games are held by Premier Sports in Ireland.

    An episode of The Mentalist is "currently unavailable" on the app and geo blocked on prime video.com. S4E21. No problem with any previous episodes.

    Had the same issue before with some This Is Us episodes so did a search and found a different listing that played fine. There is no other listings for Mentalist when I search.

    Anyone know how I might watch it handy without VPNs etc? Used the built-in Opera browser VPN set to US but primevideo.com still says video not available in your location.

    Edit. Went on to E22 then back to 21 and it's playing now for some reason.

    Race to Alaska.

    Documentary about a 'wacky races' boat race from Washington to Alaska.

    Interesting material and spectacular footage / scenery. But could have trimmed about 20 mins as there is a bit of duplication following so many boats on same course.

    I am getting "This video is currently unavailable" for Bohemian Rhapsody. Can anyone else access it?

    Edit: a different link worked.

    Are we going to get Outlander on Amazon here in Ireland?



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,203 ✭✭✭Keith186


    Strange, it's not working on my phone app, same message, but was sure it was advertised on my fire stick.



  • Registered Users Posts: 812 ✭✭✭waywill1966


    Not working on my phone or smart tv app as well. Probably just available to UK viewers like so many other programmes!



  • Registered Users Posts: 157 ✭✭Dan Steely


    I searched 'boh" and Bohemian Rhapsody was one of the results that came up as I typed, but it was "currently unavailable" when i tried to play. I then searched for the full term "Bohemian Rhapsody". This returned a second instance of the film with a different graphic alongside the one that didn't work. This one did work.

    Also, originally watched this on Sky Cinema but it is now Sky Store only.



  • Registered Users Posts: 812 ✭✭✭waywill1966


    yes that worked for me!

    Anyone know why Hack series 3 isn't out on Prime now as same time as US? Prime doesn't seem great for the joint releases



  • Registered Users Posts: 32,714 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    New romcom added called Idea of you, it's a nice easy watch. Anne Hathaway excellent as usual. The song "dance before we were walk" is a real ear worm as well.



  • Registered Users Posts: 812 ✭✭✭waywill1966


    Any news if MGM+ will be available here through Prime as some of Lionsgates content has been moved there such as Outlander?



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Sleeper12


    I get in for a month every 6 months or so. I use Getflix Smart DNS but a VPN will do the same thing. That's not a real answer to your question but just pointing out that it's possible if you really want it

    Fallout is very good. The lead actress is great.

    Season 3 of Clarkson's Farm has arrived.

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,211 ✭✭✭archfi


    I got my first in-video ads watching that today ^^^

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.



  • Registered Users Posts: 10,806 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Are they doing that across the board now? I don't often watch prime video, but I did binge the 4 episodes of clarksons farm (it's very good telly) and didn't see ads



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Sleeper12


    I'm UK prime. They have been doing ads for three months now. £2.99 per month for ad free. I'll be reducing my prime membership by a few months each year to make up for the extra charged. I'm prime for free delivery for the most part. I could reduce prime to every 2nd month maybe



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,211 ✭✭✭archfi


    Forgot to mention - I'm on UK Prime, not Irish Prime. First time I've seen the ads, both were 10 seconds and were promotions for other Prime videos. Still, very annoying interrupting the flow of films/shows.

    Yeah, I'm the same. I use it mainly for purchases but will probably drop for a few months every year with this nonsense.

    MGM + launched on Prime but not available here so no Outlander for us! Annoying because the previously available Lionsgate had it!



  • Registered Users Posts: 7 balanced24


    hi anyone know what’s happening now we’re seeing new movies on the app like before where you could rent or buy but it says option not available. Are they preparing to bring that back?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭whatever76


    any idea why Hacks S3 not available for IRE?



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,879 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Has anyone here watched Fargo on Prime specifically? We've decided to give season 4 another try but we're having a weird issue with unwanted subtitles. Essentially any text that appears on screen, including the title screen and "This is a true story" for example, is also duplicated as a subtitle. Settings-wise, subtitles are turned off.



  • Registered Users Posts: 395 ✭✭fman


    I haven't watched Fargo on Amazon but I have seen the same kind of issue you mention. Some of the streamers seem to have issues with subtitling. Have had issues with Amazon ( and Disney) where necessary subtitles aren't there.

    Have also seen the issue you mention when on screen text is subtitled from English to English. Can be just for random episodes too.



  • Registered Users Posts: 32,714 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Prime here had a serious delay with releasing season 1 (they released season 2 not long after) so I would say season 3 won't be on it for a while despite it all being aired in the US already.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,879 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    That's a shame. But at least I know it's not some simple setting I'm overlooking. 😅

    Thanks!
