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...

Re: Amazon Prime
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?

Re: Amazon Prime
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.
