Amazon Prime
 
I know the V6 has had Prime Video a while but I have noticed this: on the TiVo - on demand - box sets - tv players - and there is a functioning Prime Video app...

I always thought you could not access Amazon Prime Video from the TiVo, just from the V6...

There's life in the old Tivo yet. iPlayer never stutters these days either.

Although I can browse using it - I can not get it to work beyond that.

We still have TiVo as our TV is CRT so no HDMI inputs. We have a converter but it's SCART to composite so quality is watchable but not very good.

Do you mean in a Prime Video app or you just get stuff in the TiVo menus?

It shouldn't be there. Prime Video is V6 only

As this has been posted over on the Community Forum too I believe it's now been flagged to investigate why it's possible to get to it.

What you should get is an 'you need to upgrade to V6' message instead.

Same reason they take ages to update EPG changes and to get Sky Atlantic and UHD content.

It depends on the app provider. Both Netflix and the iPlayer app get features pretty much the same time as other platforms.

So Amazon need to do the code updates required for the TiVo version of Prime Video app to support the profiles and then Virgin need to deploy it to the V6 boxes.
