It's good anyway, regardless. Once it appears we will be able to search and bookmark from one box. How good is that?

I will probably still use my TV app as i expect it to be far quicker.

If you have a TiVo, you could be right, but Netflix is as fast as any other gadget I've come across on my V6.

Prime should be with us by the summer, apparently.

Does the Amazon app on Youview give you access to the latest films via PPV ?

Quicker and easier to go to the app on my TV than through a V6.

Netflix on the V6 is very quick on our box.

I don't see how. Surely, you need more than three clicks for your smart TV - one for 'Home', a couple (or more) clicks of your up/down or across buttons, and a click over the app itself to get to the app.

On the V6, a click on Home, a click on Apps & Games, a click on Favourites and a click on the app.

Each click gets a pretty instantaneous response, at least in my experience.

Why would i want to turn the V6 on when it takes me about 3-5 seconds to click the Prime app on the TV which is about 2 clicks on the same button area and i could easily do it with my eyes closed.

I'm not saying i wouldn't use it but at the moment the apps on my TV are still modern and instant and i don't have to go into different menus to see the apps.

Quicker than using it from your TV?

It’s currently a single button press on my TV’s remote to access the Amazon app but when it comes to V6 it will hopefully be integrated into series link so a single press from My Shows to get to a program.

Just as quick l would say as we have used both and they are both pretty instantaneous.

So you turn off your V6? Why? We keep ours on all the time.

No wonder you say it takes longer!

Yes, of course. I was forgetting that some remotes have a Netflix and Amazon button.

Why would i want to have it powered on fully when i am not using it, that is pointless and costs money, you don't leave all your lights on in your house 24/7 do you? lol

Besides it is still far easier to access the app on my TV than on a V6 so that point is mute.
