Amazon Prime Video App Launches on Apple TV (slashdot.org)

Posted by msmash on from the burying-the-hatchet dept.

Six months after Apple chief executive Tim Cook said Amazon's Prime Video service would be coming to Apple TV, the much anticipated on-demand video streaming service has arrived on tvOS. Similar to other versions of Amazon Prime Video, the Apple TV app allows Prime subscribers to sign into their accounts and watch Amazon Prime exclusive TV series, as well as browse a collection of movies.

    Are you sure this does not mean that "Amazon Prime Video" comes to the tvOS as long as you are located in Mountain View CA?

    But we are not missing much anyway. Amazon Prime Video in Canada has about four things on it and their entire (very small catalog) is in CATRS (Compressed All To Rat Shit) video with 4 kb/s MP3 sound -- suitable for a 5" Monochrome CRT with a single 2" tinny speaker like used to be in "one transistor radio's" when they first came out, and not much beyond that.

    Even if Amazon paid me to watch "Amazon Prime Video" in Canada, I don't think I would do so (unless a lot of money were on offer).
