kiwifidget:rb99:kiwifidget:richms: Try going to amazons website and buying it there instead of adding it on the device.
I tried that. It says Netflix is incompatible with my device, how can that be?
Did you try both your US and UK accounts ? (I got my Fire TV from the UK but can only download stuff from the US, guess its a settings thing somewhere)
Amazon-US says device incompatible, Amazon-UK says not eligible due to geographical restrictions.
I'm sure there must be some sort of work-around, and there is probably some wee setting I haven't got right but I've been trying most of the afternoon and I think my brain has officially had a melt down.

At some point I logged into the US account, went to 'manage your content and devices', selected 'settings' tab, and under country settings changed it to UK (though maybe you should set it to US).
Also tried editing my payment method to try some (UK / US) Youshop addresses for my credit card instead of my actual NZ delivery address.
Don't actually know what I'm doing but at some point fiddling with those settings I was allowed to download Netflix, iPlayer from the US Amazon.
Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!
kiwifidget:
I was wondering about that. In Amazon-US my device country is listed as NZ.
In Amazon-UK I have a UK address I think, my sisters address, but the FireTV is registered to my Amazon-US account.

That could be the problem then.
I have found amazon support to be totally useless at even understanding the problem with things like this and sorting it out when I have asked in the past.

freitasm: Your device is set to NZ? You need to reset it to US. Make sure your account has a credit card with a US address - even YouShop and go through the hoops. Unless you change that you aren't going to install that Netflix.

I've put in a Youshop US address and the device country now says US.
Its still not happy though.
How do you do the American credit card bit?

kiwifidget: So it seems I still have a chance to stuff it up completely. :(

kiwifidget: Actually, I already have a Netflix account, an NZ one and I am using that with Unotelly.
I just cant seem to enable the Netflix app on the FireTV.
