Hi all, I live in the US and I have a Windows live id for the US.
I'd like to acces the Italy marketplace for some app that are only available for that Marletplace, I tried to get a new live ID with the Italy region and I was able to get access via pc to the italy marketplace but when trying to intall the apps it get prompted with the US live ID that is by default on my phone. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

Ok FINE! After being ignored for two days, I thought I would help the New folks out here get this working!
I got it working and all is FINE! Here is what I did. I will not post links so I do not violate any sort of TOS in this site.
After I upgraded to the new ROM from HTC's site (the official ATT ROM not anything cooked) I upgraded my Activesync to 4.5 (must have this version)
Then I downloaded BBC Desktop 4.0.0.18 (google it)
Then I downloaded BBC for the PPC 4.0.0.91 (google it)
Install the Desktop stuff first then the one on the PPC. Once installed, REMOVE THE USB.
Once it is installed on the PPC, let it is come up on it's own. If it does not reboot it, go to Start -> Setting and click on the System tab. Click the BB icon. It will ask what services, select Cal for now. Click Next through until is restarts. It will then tell you that it is ready for first use. From there, you may need to reboot your device.
You should now have the BB icon in the bottom part of the Today screen. Click it. It will take you the BB settings sections. Let it spool and get a PIN. This may take several minutes. You will then notice it connects and gets an IP. You are almost home at this point. Once it says Connected in the Status tab you are good to connect it back to the USB cord.
For BES applications, make sure the computer you use for work is connected to your MS Server or network or whatever you do to ensure you are getting emails on your work computer. This will ensure your BB Desktop software can "see" your server. Once you know you have "LAN" connection, open the BBC Desktop software and let it find your device. Click on the "Configure Device" button on the bottom center of the BBC Desktop app and VIOLA!
I hope this helps!
I am not able to find BBC Desktop 4.0.0.18 version even after googling , just to make sure is it 4.0.0.18 or 4.0.0.84. Is this desktop component mandatory , can i skip it . I am new to all this. My company gave me a number to call to activate the service . It was a sort of *56436 ;just an example. But i cant call this number as i have AT&T service , it says check the number.May be this number is callabe from a blackberry device ? Please let me know if you are aware what setup they have.
I have At&T unlimited data plan . Do i need to switch to BIS plan from them .Is 3G internet available on BIS. My company asked me to add my company email (and provided me with a temporary password) and asked me to click on activate button . does this mean they have Black berry Enterprise server ?
The BB network is available on my phone but the PIN and IP are pending. Is this due to taht i dont have BIS enabled from them?
If your like me you've been looking for a way to get a zune pass in Australia
Well here you go:
http://techin5.com/2011/05/how-to-buy-music-and-get-the-zune-pass-in-australia/2/
You will need a computer, a credit or debit card and a xbox.
I had to buy a zune pass via my xbox which meant buying xbox live for a month which set up auto renewal. I recommend setting your address of your new live account to one in Illinois. They have a law that requires you to be able to turn off auto renewal of xbox live online instead of calling them up
I had to reset my phone and change my locale in order to get the zune music market on my phone but you should be able to sync it from your zune software as well

I've done this before, though it never lasted a day on me because i already bought apps using my NZ live id including my games, so i had to revert back to my backup.
Advantages of this method are Zune Pass + US Marketplace, Bing Audio, Bing Vision DVD and CD covers scan. Cons are Bing Local Scout not working, even if its available, USD currency so you must need a credit/debit card (some credit/debit cards charge for currency conversion).
If you're a new windows phone user, then you're better off with this method if you want to have US features, otherwise you only get the features supported depending on your country.
Couldnt agree more. Im going to go back to my old account with my apps but keep the zune pass for my computer

lol yeah, my computer has zune pass and marketplace, whereas my phone doesnt. Microsoft should really make their services worldwide, not just US.
I've been on USA from the start. My xbox account has been on USA for the start as well (well over 2 years). Meaning everything is set to usa for me. Running Mango right now, and Zune pass on phone works like a breeze still, and games are about the same price as usa (with FX). So I'm sticking with it of course.
I was running with the US account but I used a lot my data downloading music in class plus i wanted my apps back. Back to australian mango for me
If you just want it for your computer, check out rdio.com - they are half the price and don't check credit card address

Well I'm using a us account but still able to access all uk content apps like bbc iplayer etc guessing it knows it ip address is located in the UK
I have a UK Fire TV and a US Fire TV stick. I am based in the UK.
On the stick I am unable to set UK time and it fails to connect to the Amazon Web services, though it appears fine in my UK account device management.
I'm guessing I'll have to wait for the stick to be updated as the Fire TV was to allow it to access the content without errors.

On Your US Device are you using a US account or UK ?
UK Account, I'm assuming the current firmware has nothing built in for contacting the UK servers. Just as it doesn't have the option for the UK timezone.
Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone could help me with an issue I'm having.
I recently bought two of these from ebay from the states and I get the cant contact servers error. Is this because I'm in Ireland and it wants to be in the US?
I have registered with an American address etc and I can install apps via the amazon app store on my pc via the bowser (so it's connecting)
Everything else works fine, Youtube, Twitch and sideloaded XBMC etc
Any ideas?
Why would you like to update?
I would clap in f***ing hands if I got a FireTV wich comes with an rootable firmware.
Try with another device (computer, laptop, androiddevice) in the same network to load this file here: (obfuscated) bueller-ota-51.1.1.0_user_511069920-signed.bin
Can you load this?
If not, try this here:
(obfuscated-otav3) bueller-ota-51.1.4.0_user_514006420-signed.bin

You need to make sure your Device is "Managed" by Amazon.com and NOT Amazon.co.uk.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200875610
You will need to have a valid US Address and then once you have made sure the AFTV is Managed by Amazon.com do a Factory Reset of the Fire Stick and then go through the setup again and all will function fine.
Once you are setup you can change back to Device Management by Amazon.co.uk...
I have done this a number of times now and this is the only way to get the Fire Stick working outside the US as it is not released anywhere else yet.

Hi can you go into more detail on this please and explain exactly what to do? Just got my fire tv stick today and in the same situation as you.
Thanks
Go to amazon.com, create an account, put in any US address you want, add a 1 click US address as well
Then on the stick, reset to factory settings and sign in with your new account, it'll work fine after that
I wonder if anybody can help.
I have a Philips 65PUS7304/12 which I bought and use in Spain, I am from the UK.
It looks like it is using a spanish version of the Play store or the OS is Spanish, as I can't find the usual catch up apps such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub etc.
I already have these apps installed by default but they wont work telling me:
'The manufacturer and/or operating system provider for this device has not secured the necessary rights for this application'
(this is for ITV hub, BBC iPlayer just has a spinning circle when trying to watch anything)
I did choose United Kingdom when I initially set up the TV, but I'm now back to the original firmware someone linked me to. I am unsure if there are country specific firmwares.
Is it a simple fact of getting hold of a UK firmware, or is there something else I must do?
As a side note, when I updated to the newest firmware a week or so ago, it installed Freeview play and it also didnt work.
Any and all help is much appreciated.

It is not question of firmware, but where you are. Try to setup VPN and connect to UK VPN, ITV hub, BBC iPlayer and other UK specific services should be available. It doesn't matter what you set in TV, Google always knows where you are

Thanks for replying. I use a DNS service to get around that issue.
However, I have pretty much fixed it now by reverting back to the original firmware, then re-updating to the latest firmware.
Weirdly the only way I can launch BBC, itv etc is from within the ‘Freeview play’ app, which loads a side bar listing these apps.
If I try to launch them from their respective icons I just get an error.
