Google TV wasn't terrible and lasted well longer than I woulda guessed. I had one for a while, the hardware simply wasn't there at the time.

But I'm also of the mind that there is a changing of the guard every 2 years and expect it, which GTV well outlasted, but I understand that some people buy a device and expect it to last a decade minimum.

Both were fantastic...I didn't think Casanova was going to be good but I loved it.

For the life of me I can't seem to figure out the downloading. I have a Lenovo Tab2 A8 running Lollipop and I see no way to download a video. The app itself just links to the web browser to start a video, then switches back to the app once you hit play. I tried doing it though chrome and the Android browser and I don't see any "download" button of any kind.

And why isn't there an Amazon app right from the Play store anyway?

Also, if you want a dose of low budget gory 80s nostalgia ridiculousness, Turbo Kid is on Prime Streaming:

Hey, I figured it out for anyone else having this issue.
You have to uninstall the Instant Video app and install the new app from the Amazon App store. Once I did that the download buttons appeared.

Is there a way to know what is going off Prime?

I copied and pasted from a website.

Amazon is having a one day discount for new Prime subscriptions to celebrate their Emmy wins for Transparent. The price will be reduced to $67 and it will be on Friday.

Anyone know if you could buy a season with an account and then gift it to a primary account that already has a prime sub? If I could extent my current Prime with this, that would be great.

Amazon Prime acquired the exclusive streaming rights to USA's Mr. Robot.

Great get for Amazon, bad deal for the show.

That deal will almost certainly get Mr. Robot renewed for two more seasons even if the ratings tank.

how come you can't rent some of the new movies on AP, only option is to buy?

like Spy and Entourage for instance are only available to buy, but i was able to rent Dope...

Amazon Prime isn't a rental service, only subscription streaming.

But to answer your question, Amazon Video has movies available for purchase first, then rental, and you'll probably see the same window across all other services unless someone gets an exclusive. All of the pre-DVD offers are pretty much guaranteed to be purchase only, but there can be some variation on when the rental window opens up.

FWIW, I'm seeing Dope as purchase only on Amazon.

Dope was a mistake, it doesn't even release until tomorrow. Movies get released "for sale" 3 weeks or so prior to their physical disc release, at which point they are available for rent as well.

It's part of the "digital push", sort of like a mini anti-rental phase.

Occasionally you'll see a "Available at the same time as Theaters", those are usually rentable for $6.99 - $9.99.

i see. thanks guys. guess i got to rent Dope by mistake.

The Rpime downloads doesn't seem to work for the entire Prime catalogue. The Woman in Black (Daniel Radcliffe) is one instance of it I've run across.

I was wondering the same thing, but I'm assuming there isn't. I just noticed that Parks and Recreation disappeared today.
