I never was successful in getting 5.1 from Amazon Prime (as opposed to Amazon Instant Video) on any of my boxes (Netflix has been no problem whatsoever) and Amazon are very coy about telling people if they'll get 5.1 from Prime.

Had an Android M8 box which was great - sold that to a mate to replace it with the Fire, now I'm going to have to buy another M8.

Be careful out there!

5.1 works fine for me although i use Netflix not prime i don't think prime has ever had 5.1?
Which if this is the case what Amazon could do is include Netflix results in the searches i think this would be a big step in Amazons favour.
I have a Android MX box it has it's hissy fits but like you said they do work like a dream.

Why wouldn't it? Firetv o/s is basically Android but Amazons own version so considering Sky go and nowtv are both on android there is no reason to doubt at least nowtv will come to firetv.
I have nowtv on my mx android tv box it works like a dream also worth noting vm tv anywhere is available for my mx box too, i didn't know their online tv service was android compatable. Learn something new everyday i guess.

Fire tv is amazons on streaming iptv box basically things you'll get on it are WWE network for a start :p: using a smart dns, no subscription needed for fire tv itself but you would need to subscribe to things such as netflix, wwe network, hulu+ etc.
Also unlike tivo iplayer works perfectly on it :p:

Does the 5.1 on your Fire box work via HDMI or Optical or both? If you Google '5.1 problems on Amazon Prime' you could spend all day and more reading the comments.

Anyway, the box has gone now and I get most of what I need via my LG Bluray which doesn't seem to miss a beat on any of the services. I'll be ordering another M8 later this week (needed for 3pm Saturdays and other stuff).

Cheers

Cheers pal. So basically it's great but I'd need an unblockus account to take full advantage of it?
