To be fair, I don't think anyone is expecting it to launch on Tivo without them having to pay a standard Amazon Prime or instant video subscription to Amazon to use it.

I wish Amazon would get their finger out and release the Fire TV Stick in the UK, and, at the same introductory price as the US of $19. I suspect there's fat chance of the $19 though!
