Just for completeness, I thought I'd report back on our experiences, bearing in mind we only got Amazon Prime to watch The Grand Tour - nothing else on there is of any interest/relevance.
Episode 1 - watched using the FireStick on a weekday afternoon. Streamed OK, but had to be in HD (there's no way to "downgrade" to SD on the FireStick). Episode 2 - watched on FireStick at our preferred time - Saturday evening. Problems with buffering (well, I assume it was buffering - the screen kept going black for about 30 seconds every 5 minutes or so and we had clearly lost a bit of the program each time it did so). Episode 3 - watched Saturday evening streaming in SD to a laptop connected to TV. No problems with buffering, and the picture quality was acceptable. In the absence of a "download to PC" option, which we could schedule for a non-busy time and do in HD, we'll stick with the stream to PC in SD route. So - anyone want a second-hand FireStick... |

Bourne Identy is not free for Prime members. You can identify whether a film is available free on the prime service with watch with prime 0.00. Films that aren't avaible on the prime service have prices against them for SD and HD.

such a clunky interface on my Sony TV Amazon Prime app. It won't allow me to download a whole series, just one episode at a time. When I've watched it, I have to navigate back to the app menu to highlight and download (stream really) the next one. Am I being thick or is the only way to do it on a TV?
I don't watch on mobile as there are 2 of us watching (highly recommended series btw- The Bureau, free to Prime members). I assume you can't cast it as Amazon doesn't support rival google tech? |
