			This is the same if you access Amazon Prime Video via a firestick or via its app on a tablet or a smart TV.  It’s a pain in the neck, and worse when they present you a box set with the first half dozen seasons included in Prime and then inexplicably the final season or two is chargeable.

NowTV's HBO series are the worst - Sky needs to re-negotiate the On Demand for those shows pronto if it's serious about competing with Amazon and Netflix.

			The Firestick is always going to be better as it is the Amazon Prime Device - a opposed to being just an add-on for other devices.

			Is anyone else missing a link to Prime Video from the Search & Discover menu?

			The link isn't there - it is in the Apps menu or from channel 228.

 |  You can stream Eurosport via Amazon on Talk Talk. I did it for a while. Good thing about it was it had all the catch up stuff on there as well.

Very annoying though! |  I have a V6 box too, what I meant is that if the same Search & Discover menu appears on the TiVo box too maybe they can't link to an app that doesn't exist on both boxes. Only guessing.
