With US Tivo's, initially all you could do is download to your Tivo's hard drive, any video you had purchased from Amazon. You could not access Prime video.

Eventually Prime video was added to US Tivo, but the ability to download purchased video to Tivo's hard drive was taken away.

This, as far as I know, is the situation that exists today.

The Roamio got the update first, followed several months later by the Premier. Before that change to the Premier, it would have technically not been possible to add Prime to VM's Tivo, even if Amazon and VM did want to do a deal.
