Resolving Errors
Location error
Viewers need to be within the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man to watch the games.
Amazon says it does not support VPN or proxy connections, so viewers will need to turn them off.
Some businesses may route online traffic through another country, which will trigger the geo-block, even if the user is in the UK.
Streaming errors
Amazon advises a minimum download speed of 1Mpbs for standard definition and 5Mbps for HD. Prime Video will adjust picture quality based on the amount of bandwidth available.
If you’re watching in a household with multiple users on the internet at the same time, streaming quality may be affected if there isn’t sufficient bandwidth to accommodate all users.
Where wi-fi is poor, a better experience is possible if the device can be plugged directly into the router using an ethernet cable.
Wi-fi may be subject to interference from neighbours using the same wi-fi frequencies, which may only become apparent when maxing out the connection by streaming high quality video. Other household devices may also affect wi-fi, according to Ofcom.
Additionally, Amazon advises: “If you’re experiencing any issues with video juddering/motion, we recommend turning the Motion setting on your TV to Off. This setting might have a different name depending on your TV manufacturer. Some examples of the Motion setting include Auto Motion Plus, Tru Motion, MotionFlow, Cinemotion, and Motion Picture. If you still experience issues, please contact Amazon support. ”
