Is starting to be pushed to internal, in-house techs’ Hopper 3’s for final testing

Great news! Amazon Prime Video has launched as an app on your Hopper 3! Now you can watch all of the Prime Video content you love, such as exclusive Amazon Originals or thousands of popular movies and shows, without the hassle of switching inputs.

You are receiving the app before we launch it to our customers, so please let us know if you encounter any issues by emailing us at xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx
Feel free to send us any other feedback as well! Your input is critical to ensure we’re providing our customers – and you – with the best possible experience.

This tells me a few things.
1) Soon they’ll be pushing it out to the general public.
2) it looks to me like it’s only going to be on the Hopper 3

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

Will you be sharing the functionality of the new app? Inquiring minds would like to know. I’d be very happy if I could access purchased movies and series from Amazon.

This will be nice, I'm lazy when it comes to changing an input. Will probably use prime more often once this is available.

Not to mention wife training. Major factor for staying with Dish! Always has been.

I believe we don’t give wives enough credit with electronics, mine figured out the Roku after she found so much Food Network Programming on Hulu.

Anything to give her easier access to her faves would be a plus.

I realize you couldn’t have known this. Just having a harsh time right now.

I can only go by what I read on the portal. Only a handful of techs have it now for testing, but i'll let you know as I find out

Mine has early onset Dementia because of Parkinson’s Disease and she still understood how to use it, again give them more credit.

Yeah, once my wife figured out not only Prime Video but also Netflix (when this was broken on the Hopper) on our Roku TVs and FireTV sticks, she doesn't use the Hopper any more.

I don't see the rationality of adding Amazon Prime to the H3 only.

Other than enticing subs to upgrade?

More horsepower.

Could also have to do with compatibility with Amazon's 4K content, which only the H3 could support.

Netflix failed on my H3 last night. Programs would play audio only. Video froze on the intro.

Doesn't Netflix have 4K content also?

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