Okay, the set up is this - a Kindle Fire Tablet with Amazon Video purchased and downloaded on to it, screen shared with a Fire TV.
I'm specifically talking about films bought and paid for individually, not material you get for free if you're on Amazon Prime.
Okay, I see there are a good number of films available at Amazon USA in HD which are not available at Amazon UK.
I appreciate I can't just buy them in the UK. To purchase content you need a US billing address and a card registered to a US address. But would the following work?
I have friends in the US. The could buy a Kindle Fire and Fire TV, and I could send them the money. They could buy and download the films on to the tablet and post the lot to me.
Would this the work in the UK?
Would the Fire TV and/or tablet realise it was in the wrong country when switched on and refuse to play?
Could new material be downloaded on to the tablet whilst it was in the UK, as long as it was paid for through the Amazon US account, with a US credit card and US billing address?
Would I even need a second Fire TV, or could I stream from my US Kindle Fire to my UK Fire TV? Do the Kindle Fire and Fire TV need to be registered to the same account, or can you screen share from any Kindle Fire with a Fire TV?
Cheers.
