Hi.
I am based overseas and I know there are restrictions placed on video streaming outside of US. If there are some ways to bypass this restriction, please share .... thanks
Not sure, but I'd say VPN, but it's more trouble and costly than it's worth. And I always feel like the VPN servers are snooping at what I'm doing. :-D
I live in Japan and Unblock-us works great for me, we watch netflix, amazon videos, etc, very easy to set up and it works perfectly on Kindle fire.

Register on unblock-us for a one week trial, change your DNS with the ones provided and then, if you thinks it's worth it, pay for an annual subscribtion ( as I did ). And honestly is worth every single cent, since I can also stream HD videos on my PS3 ( using the Netflix app ) with no glitches or interruptions.

Hi! Like Stocaprimo said, you can try the service for free first, just go to their website, unblock-us. I tried for maybe 15 minutes just to see if it really worked and was very happy with it, I could watch Netflix on apple tv for the first time and on kindle fire too and it's only five dollars a month, I changed the DNS on my router (netgear)with the one they provided and now all the computers and tablets plus iPads work great, it's like we were back in the US. Hope it works for you.

I was facing similar problem as I am a big fan of US netflix but when I moved to sweden, was missing it. Then I tried various options to get access and thank God an expert suggested me unotelly. It is a DNS service, now I can get access to netflix, hulu and rest of the popular US channels without any glitch. try their free 7 days version and you will love it for sure. If you need any help, just let me know I will assist you to install it.

I dont know if there is anything wrong with the spotify connect offer in the amazon store for the Fire TV 2 but mine almost never works. My cell phone never find my amazon fire tv 2, it only sees my receiver. It used to work perfectly with my fire stick but since I upgrade to a FTV 2 no luck. It could be a problem with the app or with teh FTV 2, dont know. I am temping to use one of the apps posted here.

The 0.3 version posted here I believe came from a FTV 2 ... sounds like similar issues to what I experienced running it on the Shield TV, not found, only plays a couple of tracks before stopping.

Same here unfortunately. I'm hating AndroidTV more and more.
Looking for this free app https://www.amazon.com/Gaana-Bollywood-Music-Radio-Fire/dp/B06XWVS54P or https://www.amazon.in/Gaana-Bollywood-Music-Radio-Fire/dp/B06XWVS54P
Most likely available only to Indian customers. I am not able to download this on my fire tv, as its registered to a US address.
Thanks in advance if someone decides to help

I have a VPN so I can try to get it, I only ask that you check the app store version your Fire TV is running, and possibly upload or post a link to it. I at least need the version number though if you please...

Not sure what you mean by that. I'm running AFTV1 Fire OS 5.2.4.1 (5.7.3-20)
http://www.amazon.in/Hotstar-TV-Movies-Live-Cricket/dp/B06Y18MPK7 also if possible. Or if someone can simply tell me how to download it myself
I have downloaded it on my stick. But how to extract it? I will upload it to google drive.

Have you tried backing up the app using ES file explorer or some other similar application?
For everyone who wants those India specific apps line Gaana, Airtel Movies, Voot, Ditto, Zee tv and other, here are all those. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10-w6rXffmKpfYbfgb8_4zyCP-wcvZxs6?usp=sharing
Can you please share ALTBalaji APK also if possible?
Trying to use Gaana in the US I get 'app is not owned' error. Any way around that? Thanks!
Pravinvibhute, please upload the updated version of these apps. I am so grateful to you. For your kindness, I can use these apps, in my xiaomi mi box 3 android tv.

The apps require Amazon Appstore linking. I tried logging in to appstore, still doesn't work.
Does anyone have those app without Amazon linking.
Hi guys -
I am switching back and forth between my old Nexus TV and Fire TV because ZDF or ARD apps aren't available in the Amazon US region.
The stuff that comes up when googling is fake, not for Amazon devices and requires Google Play services.
If anyone could make the APKs available I'd be most grateful.
Thanks!
Might be pointless. I could imagine there is a regio block...just my two cents..
Try a vpn that simulates Germany as your location.. It's worth a try..

Wow, You're the best rainman!
So ZDF (most important...) seems to work just fine.
ARD aborts with an error "You don't own this app", which kind of sucks, but oh well... I guess I'm going to watch more Heute than Tagesschau
Region-lock - The apps and programming is available in the Google App store and runs just fine on the Nexus Player (or in web browsers). It looks all good besides some Amazon nonsense enforcing ownership of the free ARD app. Does anyone know an easy hack-around? No big deal if not...
Cheers!
Perhaps you could simply buy this app via German-VPN-Server, e.g. Frankfurt ?

Yeah, already tried VPN. It depends on where the amazon account is registered and all hell broke lose when I switched to D.
Anyway, just found a solution.... Amazon seem to have released the Silk browser for Fire TV and I am now simply using the web site. Works great.

Then you should definitely avoid having to move to Germany at some point!

Thanks but this is the phone (mobile) version of the app from Android and doesn't work properly with the navigation using the remote. Can anyone pull the Amazon Appstore version and post the APK?

Really appreciate the help with this!
Unfortunately, I keep forgetting that anything in the US Amazon AppStore is US only.
Amazon enforces this by checking which country the Amazon account is based in so using a VPN for any of these type of US-only apps is useless.
Unless there's some workaround I'm unaware of, I would have to log out of my current Canadian account and create a dummy US one just to watch Discovery.
Oh, and it seems they also check if you actually "own" the app before letting you run it.
