I know there were some other posts on another thread here to a similar effect, and I wish I could put my finger on what was missing. But comparing the live rugby streams with Sky/BT HD pictures, there was just no contest.
Lack of Picture Quality was my main beef, even my wife who normally cannot tell the difference between SD/HD noticed so it must be poor.

Had a whirly sign interrupt one of the England games (presumably buffering?) - not acceptable.

The presentation was not as slick as Sky/BT - can forgive that as it was Amazon's first attempt.

However, if rugby was to be on Prime all the time I would not be happy as it would mean an extra monthly cost.

Progress - definitely not.
