Prime working on Joey 3

[eichenberg]

Did I miss something? I thought Prime would not work on the Joey 3. I was adding a few channels to my favorites and I saw the Prime logo, so I added it and voila it works. Logged into to my Amazon account and started watching a show.

Amazon did some changes to their software and requirements. Enjoy!

Anyone try Prime on their 4K Joey yet? Does 4K content work?

Just a reminder that even with one of the Joey models that now support Prime (Joey 3 and 4K Joey) it will only show up if that Joey is connected to either a HWS or Hopper 3. That sucked for me when I still had a Hopper Duo. My new (well, new to me) Hopper 3 should be arriving soon though.

I hadn't tried it on my 4kJ until I read your post. I just pulled up "The Living Sea (4K UHD)" from Prime and it works. Now somebody will ask how do you know it's coming in in UHD and I'll say I don't know. I'll have to compare it to how it looks on Prime as delivered by the built-in Roku on my 4k TV.

Try taking a look at Coming 2 America (the new one) and see if you notice anything different. (in fact if a few people with 4K TV's and 4K Joeys could try that, it would be great!)

I don't want to give anything away but there is a new feature that I seen tested, but I don't know if it has rolled out to the Public yet. (And I have asked Dish a few times and have received no reply)

I think I know what you're getting at. My TV reported that Coming 2 America was coming 2 my 4kJ with HDR. Maybe I'm a member of The Public?

prime works on my joey3. however my problems start when exiting the app. i cant get to live tv without unplugging the device each time. according to the display screen its 128am and i have -597h 28m left of this wonderful no info tv. yet another wonderful glitch with this wonderful dish equipment that i feel like taking outside and using for target practice. lately its something everyday with this hopper & joey setup.

couple of hours prior to this new found the app event, directv called me for a win-back offer. in hopes of dish fixing my issues, i declined. how stupid of me.

If that new feature is Amazon Prime finally coming to the Hopper Duo, then somebody just shoot me now!

That is soooo important. That could mean that we will begin to see sports and on demand movies in 4K HDR soon!

Okay, how many more Joey models are getting Prime this time?
