Prime app – unavailable

  • September 22, 2024


I pulled up the prime app, just to see where I could find the game tonight.

I may be getting ahead of myself, but it's telling me it's unavailable in my area due to regional restrictions. This is concerning since I am like half an hour from climate pledge arena.

Anyone else seeing this? Hoping it's just the app being wierd pre-game time and not a me problem.

  1. If I had to guess you’re using a VPN or some internet arrangement which makes you look like you are somewhere that you actually are not. Starlink for example tends to cause big issues with geolocation stuff.

    Try checking how your IP geolocates here: https://tools.keycdn.com/geo. Make sure it says somewhere in Washington.

  2. It’s on NHL Network so maybe it’s considered a nationally televised game not available on Prime? Which is so dumb.

  4. UPDATE: Not sure what happened, but I just kept trying switching between wifi and data on my phone And reloading over and over. Eventually the App asked me to enable the GPS permission and now it’s working on both data and wifi.

    UPDATE2: well it looks like it’s still having the same problem on my Nvidia shield streamer which is on my Xfinity Internet. I don’t know, that doesn’t make me very optimistic. But it does look like May work on my phone if I enable data so It can check the GPS, maybe the Chromecast will work tonight to my tv. Idk. I’m hoping this all just works tonight because this will be amazing if it does.

    UPDATE #3: Amazon has confirmed they’re having some technical issues right now and are working on it. It’s apparently a known issue. Hopefully it’s resolved before puck drop.
