Thanks for all your advice, very helpful, so what you are saying is unless you change your DNS settings and set up VPN
you won`t be able to access amazon prime etc?
I`m not tech savvy but is it straight forward to install VPN and change DNS settings?
Does the same apply to smart tv`s with pre installed apps eg amazon and netflix?

PS is vpn free to install?
Officially as UK is not part of the single digital market Amazon UK subscription should not work in Spain as it would in the UK.
. Like the mobile networks, most are not introducing new rules till 2022, so at the moment roaming charges don't apply, this could be the same as Amazon but really don't think so.
Before the single digital market Amazon UK did not work in Spain without using a VPN or a DNS change, so we can only assume this will revert back to how it was previously a few years ago.
Its very easy to get round using a VPN etc, however anything free has to nake their money somehow, they either steal your data for narketing purposes, or use your bandwidth when you are idle. Its best not to use a free VPN..
As previously mentioned about Netflix, the same applies to Amazon Prime where you wont receive the same content as you would in the UK.
This is the comment from Amazon regarding Prime Video in Spain.
Can I Watch Prime Video If I Travel Abroad?
Amazon Prime members are able to stream selected Amazon Originals titles while outside of their home country.
Outside of your home country, a reduced selection of Prime Video titles is available to stream. A selection marked "Watch While Abroad" shows the available titles.
If you have a compatible device, you are able to download titles before you travel in order to watch offline anywhere in the world.
Note: As the United Kingdom has left the European Union, customers from the United Kingdom traveling to the European Union will not have access to the same titles as they do when watching Prime Video in their home country.
Apps on Smart TV,s are no different to apps on Firesticks.
Its very easy to add a VPN or use a Smart DNS supplier as Firesticks are dead easy to set up. Unfortunately with Smart TV.s you are limited by the manufactures app store etc as to what you can download or change on your network settings.
