Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime requests Dolby Digital + And only the Hopper 3 has that

And Netflix is not one of many content providers that allow purchasing and linking together accounts. Movies anywhere, Vudu, and apples ITunes.

Oh and of course Amazon Prime!

Amazon prime went live this morning you guys and gals

What would be really cool is if the Hopper 3 could handle ESPN and Pac-12 streaming.

 

[Radioguy41]

Wonder if it will also allow access to other apps purchased through Amazon Prime (e.g. Acorn, Britbox)?

Of course it will. Those are not apps but are channels you sub to within Prime.

You say "of course", yet Hipkat says it won't do HBO, which is a channel within Prime.

It should do any ‘channels’ that you subscribe to with Prime.

As far as I know it can't.

I misread HipKat's post. He said that the memo he got said it would not, but in reality it did, on his Hopper. So, disregard anything I post.

No worries!

Will Amazon Prime be listed in the guide and searchable, the way Netflix is?

I believe Hipkat posted channel 301.

So, business as usual, got it.

My HBO is working thru the Amazon Prime app on both my H3s.

 

[HipKat]

Yeah, the memo was that HBO would not work but now, as you can see some of us have proven that to be incorrect

I remain unconvinced that they aren't able to put Amazon Prime on the HWS without dolby digital.. If, as some have said, it was really about enticing subs to upgrade to the H3, I would have thought they might have offered some sort of promotion.
It would have been nice but in the meantime I'll continue to access it through my TV's amazon prime app.

I have confirmed (unofficially) it with contacts at both companies. For some reason Amazon requires Dolby Digital + support and only the Hopper 3 can support it.

Can they drop that requirement in the future so it can be made available on older Hoppers and Joeys? Who knows. But its a nice addition if you have a Hopper 3.

 

[navychop]

Hmmm. Nice.

But I find my Sony UHDTV does YouTube faster than the Hopper and my Rokus. I can only expect that will be the case with the H3, as well.
