Thanks

No it doesn't unless you have a private VPN which 'tricks' the device into thinking you are in the UK.

You can upload Kodi onto it, I have done that.

Once kodi is loaded, you can add a whole lot of addons that will give you whatever you could ever wish to watch on tv :sunny

We found that using a VPN slowed the download speed and caused much irritating buffering. We now use Unlocator. And, yes, you (well, my technically enabled OH in our household :lol: ) can load Kodi and many other add-ons to give a wide variety of programmes to watch.

Don't forget Mobdro for UK TV sports and all the Sky film channels - free.

An advert on UK tv with Jeremy Clarkson in it; shows him shipping Fire Sticks on drones to Europe, which gives the impression that it works outside UK. Obviously very misleading. :pint

but it does work outside the UK - maybe not with the apps shown in the ad (well not without a vpn or smartdns) and I assume thats what you refer to - but the rest all work and there is plenty to go at without having catchup apps = = = kodi is the ultimate catch up app

I have 3 firesticks all work fine on various TV's round the house.

All I need to do is subscribe (about £35 a year) to a re-locator service (faster than a vpn) and re-set the dns numbers on my router. All the TV's, work perfectly on all the amazon apps. I have also sideloaded Kodi and Mobdro on the firestick.
