That's a different scenario in the US; most Tivos are not tied to a provider; they're bought just as a PVR. Some cable companies (I think, though not sure) will provide a Tivo as an option.


Technically Amazon Prime video could be added to Tivo and V6, providing that functionality was added in one of the Tivo updates which I suspect it was.

Sorry, missed that, theone. Do you know what that technical reason was, and whether it would take an age to resolve?

I can't see it not to have been added.

The US Premier was updated over a year ago to be able to stream Prime Video (Previously the Premier could only download purchased Amazon video, but not stream Prime video).

The Tivo has had several updates since then, and it would be strange not to have added that functionality in my view.

It really depends on how much truth there is in the validity of the source PB.:)

I still chuckle at the person who posted before BT Sport started to say we were definitely getting BT Sport and Sky Atlantic and then was never heard of again. Happy days! :)

Doesn't sound like a technical issue at all.

Already Liberty has integrated Netflix and Nair said other IP services would be added. “Amazon’s not on that list,” he remarked. “When our interests and amazons interests are level then maybe.”

No idea mate but given what was posted today the reason could of been no deal struck yet or they are waiting to see how stable the v6 is.
Hoping to have more news soon.

I'm not sure which source you are referring to? If Tivo had the Premier update, then it is indisputably technically possible.


Whether Amazon and LG have come to a deal, I don't have a clue. I have four devices that give me 1080p and 5.1, so it is not an issue for me. And I don't get why people are waiting for Amazon Prime to be added to Tivo, when there are inexpensive devices available that have been around for ages that provide both Amazon and Netflix, plus other services.

They are both on most Smart TVs as well.
The PQ is better through the TV app too, specially the 4K content due to the lack of HDR on the V6 at the moment.

Yes. It was his unusual approach though. He was called Bomber Harris or something. He posted the news very cryptically and convincingly as if he was a VM negotiator, and then was never heard from again! Happy days. :)

My previous post illustrates it's commercial negotiations that's currently holding Amazons arrival up rather than a technical issue.
