BritBox on ( or not ) the 4K firestick - Fire TV General

Hi, just signed up to BritBox , am in the UK , works on other devices I have, appletv4, mecool android box, but now I see its blocked on the fire stick duh , I tried downloading the apk and adding it directly but when launching it says theis app is only available in usa, so am assuming its an older version, bit of a sickener this, the wife loves all the british dramas.

Unfortunately, no. Netflix is only available in countries such as the U.S. and Canada. However, Netflix on Android is not working for Canada yet, I heard. So, we just gotta see how it develops.

daily free app so should last one day or so..
you need to buy it on your PC or phone first before it can be downloaded to the TF.. purchase on the TF gives a 'device not supported' error.
The game itself is playable..much like the amazon version of PVZ..but the graphics are not optimized for the tablet..

I download and use the free apps from the Amazon app store on my TF all the time. I only have the Appstore installed on the TF, not my desktop. Not sure why you are getting the error about not being supported.
Edit: Ah, UK, maybe that's it.

This is an issue with Peggle, not amazon apps.
Clicking Get App from the Appstore application on the TF gives a device not supported error.
I got the same thing, from the US.
Instead, I went to the amazon website, clicked buy (for $0.00) and then went into the TF and went to My Apps and clicked install.

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Seems that Amazon have got this marked as incompaible with the Transformer, Xoom & A500 but compatible with the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Wonder how much Samsung paid for that
Anyone know how to install apps outside the US? I live in the UK and tried to install a free app and it said not available to my country.

I'm from the UK and I followed this guide
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...tore-from-outside-the-us-including-paid-apps/
(I use the same US Amazon account to access the Amazon Cloud Music service, if you need to know how to get the Android App to allow you access to that let me know and I'll send you those details)
installed it in my xformer just fine. and its not for tablets really, the resolution for this game is def for phones, however it does fill the screen
I downloaded Peggle from the amazon app store and installed it on my rooted Milestone. Much like plants vs zombies it loads up and crashes after loading the logo and hourglass. Using the same apk I've got it working on a galaxy Vibrant and captivate. Could it be because my phone is rooted or is the milestone just not powerful enough to run it?

[Q] Google Wallet UK?

Hi all, can't seem to find the answer anywhere, whats the situation with Google Wallet in the UK for Nexus 4?
From what I can tell it seems like it is available for other devices but not the Nex 4, is that right?

I've yet to see it as available for any stock unrooted device in the UK.
Yeah, as is often the way I found my answer shortly after posting. Is not available at all yet in the UK but Googles UK URL misleadingly uses the Google Wallet page from the USA site.
Hope it comes soon, think I'd use it quite a lot.

Using a UK debit card? Or just the usual pre paid that is now dead?

Very Impressed with the Amazon Fire TV (From a Canadian)

I can't overstate how impressed with this little box I am. I picked one up last month on a trip to the US (I'm from Canada) and thought I would play around with it and see how it would work in Canada. With Unblock US and an Amazon account with prime I have been able to access all my prime amazon content on it. As well as US Netflix, Hulu, ETC.
XBMC is very easily sideloaded onto it as well, with or without being rooted which opens up a whole new world of content and goodies.
And once rooted you can do even more cool stuff. I followed guides to add the google app store, remove unwanted menu options, change the launchers, add game controllers, move apps to external drive, and much more. I just installed Google Play Music and now I have complete access to my google music account on the FireTV which is very cool. I'm sure there are tons of awesome apps that work on the FTV. Another favorite is Droidmote Server so I don't keep having to unplug my external drive to use a mouse or keyboard (which many google apps need)
I sold my 2 Apple TV 2's for a very nice profit and I'm going all Fire TV. The only advantage I think to the Apple TV's is if you have itunes and are invested in the Apple Ecosystem which I was not. The menus and everything are much speedier and my ATV2's were prone to random crashes while in XBMC which drove me crazy.
I'm really looking forward to playing around more with this unit and seeing what all the development community can do with it. I think its already awesome and it has a ton of more potential.
question for you
I am in Canada also and use unblock us. Have you tried using the A&E, Lifetime or History Channel apps? For whatever reason they wont work and I am wondering if somehow they realize that you are not in the US. I have no problem with any other apps. Trying to figure out if its a Canada issue or maybe an issue with the app's of fire tv.

don't you still need a US credit card address for Unblock???? if not how did u set it up??
unblock us
You don't need a us credit card address for unblock us, it's a Canadian service from a Canadian company. You need a US credit card for the amazon service.

Those particular apps aren't working for me either. They just crash back to the home screen. I think its a Canada thing as unblock.us does not officially support Fire TV yet. If you get yours working let me know and I'll do the same.
Ok that sounds great, thx.

Europe Stock Rom on Japanese Fire HD 10??

Hey,........
I'm on a buisness trip in Japan.
Amazon Japan have right know very good prices for the Fire HD 10 (64GB). It's about 140$. In germany the price is about 235$ (without ads). I'm thinking to buy 2 devices (for my kids).
I googled already that I can switch the language, but Alexa will be missing. I would like to have alexa on these devices.
Is it possible to flash a kind of "european" stock rom to the device to get alexa working?
Google can't help here. Maybe I'm just blind.
thanky you

The only stock ROM available is the one supplied by Amazon.
Hi and thanks for you reply.
So it should be enough just to change the language and everything should work out of the box?
If it's not working, due to whatever reason, I can download the stock rom and just flash the Fire HD 10 in recovery mode and go through the settings? That's it?
I Just need Alexa working and the german system laguages.
thank you
