Here’s the latest sign of Amazon’s eagerness to make subscription streaming services a big part of its retail offerings. It just agreed to offer Amazon Prime customers the opportunity to use their accounts to buy Seeso, NBCUniversal Digital Enterprises’ $3.99 a month ad-free comedy service. The video provider will be available via Amazon “this Spring,” the companies say. Subscribers will be able to access Seeso’s library online and via the Amazon Video app for TVs, streaming media players, and mobile devices. As you’d expect, it will work with Amazon’s Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, and Fire tablets. NBCU launched Seeso in January, offering subscriptions directly. Amazon Video Channels’ Director of Content Acquisition Rich Au says that “the way people watch TV is changing, and customers want easier access to their favorite shows, regardless of device or subscription.” NBCU SVP Ben McLean touts Seeso as “the first standalone comedy offering” with “the best premium content – Original Series, stand-up specials and library video—across every screen.” Subscribers can watch full-length episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers the day after they air, as well as “40 plus years of Saturday Night Live.” Other subscription services available on Amazon include Showtime, Starz, the Lifetime Movie Club, AMC’s Shudder and SundanceNow. |

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
Here's the "Included with Prime" link for Amazon currently:

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
You can prevent unwanted purchases at Amazon Video by setting up a PIN number.
amazon.com/pin Scroll down to Parental Controls, enter a PIN number, and make sure to turn it on. It'll ask for your PIN number whenever you try to buy/rent a video. |

Amazon, Department, Digital Video, Included with Prime. If you go to a show/movie that's included with Prime, the button will say Watch Now. Otherwise it will show a purchase option. Just log in to Amazon first. I've never purchased anything by mistake and I've had Prime since it first started. |
Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
I'm guessing a few things are behind this move in the long run. Almost everyone is beginning to see the end of the traditional cable model for television. People will still demand content after they cut the cord and Amazon with its brand likely wants to be known as a streaming provider of first resort.

I find it MUCH easier to search for stuff on their website and throw it my watchlist. On the website, it is easy to limit to Prime Only, or include things from Instant Video (the rent/buy items). The search options on my Tivo, Roku, and FireStick are each fairly clumsy compared to website.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
I just signed up for a free month of Prime and watched the Pilot of Red Oaks. I really liked it. I have an older model roku and it is not showing a lot of shows for me to choose from on the prime video section. It took me awhile to find Red Oaks on it. Can anyone recommend some good Prime shows?

The selections on Prime seem pretty small or it could just be how I'm viewing them through my roku. The Man in High Castle wasn't even showing up on Roku. Maybe I need to search for it....

Does the Roku have a "view watchlist" option? I tend to browse on my PC and add things to my watchlist there, then just view my watchlist on my Xbox One.
What shows do you like? It seems to me so far that Prime has a much more limited selection than Netflix and Hulu. |

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
Just caught a movie I had not heard of before on Amazon via Prime.
Taking Chance The story of a Marine Officer who escorts the body of a fallen Marine, Chance Phelps, back to his hometown for burial. Kevin Bacon plays the lead. Very somber movie and one I enjoyed immensely. |
Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
They just added-on Full Moon Streaming Channel. Is this the exact same as Full Moon's original streaming channel?
