MY point is that you can watch Amazon Prime on a TV connected to a Joey. Obviously it's streaming to the Joey via the hopper's internet connection.

That would be false. If you took the Joey away, you can still use the Amazon Prime on that tv. It has nothing to do with the hopper or Joey. The Joey doesn't give the tv internet connectivity.
Sure you can, but why would I want to disconnect the Joey and run another internet connection just to do that? The point was that Prime via the internet can pass through the hopper and joey bypassing the HWS restriction.
Are you sure your TV isn't getting its internet via wifi? I know my TV that has a 4K Joey attached to it is.
No offense, but even if it was passing Internet through the Joey to the Prime App built into your TV somehow (though highly unlikely that is what is happening here), it is MISLEADING to this post to suggest that Prime works on the Joey (which it doesn't) by claiming that your setup somehow supports the statement that "Prime works on a Joey". The point of the discussion wasn't "Can we watch Amazon Prime on a TV connected to a Joey?", it was "Can we watch Amazon Prime on a TV USING a Joey?"
Actually it is but you will find very little of it. If you go to Jack Ryan on the Amazon Prime app it will give you Atmos. It must also be the UHD version. That app seems to be the only one that passes Atmos, Netflix which has a ton of Atmos programming does not.
Has anyone had problems with Prime Video on the Hopper 3? I recently updated to the Hopper 3 and if I select the Amazon Prime app or select channel 301, the screen "Prime Video" shows up on my TV and then Hopper 3 "crashes" and restarts.
FYI, Netflix works without issue and to my knowledge everything else on my Hopper is operating without issue - I can view and record, etc.
Any ideas as to what might be the issue?
Thanks!

Haven't had that one with AP, but I would try a reset(if you haven't already) and I believe there is something like a software reset somewhere in the tools section.
As mentioned in the other thread that you posted to, if you just updated to the H3 in the last day or two, it could be that the Hopper hasn't settled in yet. It usually take a new Hopper install a day or two for all the software to download and start working normally...that's just how they are when new.
Me too, I have had DISH replace the Hopper with new box and still about 15 minutes in the Hopper reboots itself. Its crap
Douglas, the easiest thing to do is get a fire stick. Even Roku offers Amazon Prime. I have both. Roku, in my humble opinion, is better than Fire stick. They are dirt cheap these days. If you don't have available hdmi slot on tv, use a 3 or 4 way hdmi splitter. I use one. No issues.
Amazon in its entirity was having computer problems yesterday, even their server farm was down.
Which for the longest time was a secret that they had this business. I can see why they'd want to keep the fact that they service close to 3/4 of the planet.
The one thing Musk hasn't done . . . yet.
