Using Fire TV Stick abroad - how to get it done

The Amazon Fire TV Stick offers top entertainment for your TV. If you want to travel and don't want to miss your TV Stick even when you are abroad, this is definitely possible. However, there are some factors and restrictions to consider.

Restrictions on using the Amazon Fire TV Stick abroad

Theoretically, you can use your Amazon TV Stick in any country. However, there are country-specific restrictions on the content you can access. Say, the selection of movies, series and Co. changes from country to country. The TV Stick shows you the option "Watch series abroad" when you are abroad. Only content produced by Amazon that does not require external license fees is offered there. However, the so-called geo-blocking is being switched off more and more, so that you will soon have unrestricted access to the full library of your provider regardless of your vacation destination.

How to use the Fire TV Stick abroad?

1. Inform yourself about the restrictions on the streaming options of your vacation destination. You can find a list for this on the Internet.
2. Should you have restrictions on the offers in your vacation country, set up a VPN connection to the Internet to bypass any restrictions. Mit der VPN-Verbindung können Sie vortäuschen, dass Sie sich gerade in Deutschland befinden und daher auf das volle Streaming-Angebot zugreifen.
3. Wenn Sie im Besitz von Zugängen mehrerer Streaming-Portale sind, schauen Sie nach, welcher Anbieter im Ausland mehr Auswahl für Sie bereitstellt.
