Not showing up in Canada![]()
Blame Amazon, the CRTC, whatever. Apple would love to do it.

Not showing up in Canada![]()
This is great news! Now really all that's left for the Apple TV app is for Netflix to work. Then all the major streaming services will be available.
So I have Prime, what's GOOD on the App? I have never used it because when I've browsed it it seemed like they had the same movies Netflix and such offer.
It means I can now use Apple TV for pretty much everything, with the only notable exceptions being BT Sport (which would be useless for me anyway if it was tied to having BT Internet service, like the iOS app is), and Channel 4. Between Amazon, NowTV, Netflix, BBC, ITV and Channel 5 (and iTunes), 99% of what I watch is now covered. Amazon was the big missing piece in the jigsaw.
I emailed Amazon support and they said they are aware that 5.1 audio isn't working and are working on a fix.
The Amazon Prime account tweeted on June 5 that it would, no confirmation on this thread yet though.I assume it's too much of a stretch that ATV2 is getting this?
LOL! me Too! FINALLY!Great I can remove the firestick from my receiver.
Just in time for season 2 of the Grand Tour on Friday.
They just "fixed" it. Unfortunately, the fix was to remove all the 5.1 badges. Was there this morning, got home this afternoon, fired it up, and no more 5.1 badges! That was an easy fix.![]()
So a couple of observations (don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to have this):
- The toggle for your watchlist doesn't have an indicator on the movie tile (or description header), the only cue is in the lower right where the "Hold to ..." changes from Add to Remove (and back again). I'd like to see a better UI indicator when you're scrolling through content as to what's in your watch list.
- It doesn't appear that the app is part of the deep/global search (via Siri), I tried it with a few titles, and I got hits on Hulu, iTunes, etc., but nothing on Amazon.
I just checked our 3rd gen, and it's not showing up, assuming this is correct, that's a pretty big deal, 3rd gens are still pretty capable for straight up media streaming, and super cheap.
Same here. I can’t believe they supported the older gen machines. #happydayAll good on my ATV 3. And the handful of purchases I've made are showing up.
Positive news turned in something bad just because Apple' is not the source. Speak for yourself. And go back "expertising" on everything else, pleasePeople complained up a storm that this app didn't come along sooner. Now within 24 hours of having it they'll realize there's still nothing good to watch.
I have no issue with the content avalability but rather the lack of surround sound, and today the rather disshones (imo) de tagging of 5.1 conent to mask the sound bug) oh well as long as they get it fixed before the s02E01 of The grand tour gose live I'll stop moaningPositive news turned in something bad just because Apple' is not the source.

My reply is specifically pointed to that user's comment (and his generally compliant and paternalistic and contemptuous attitude)I have no issue with the content avalability but rather the lack of surround sound, and today the rather disshones (imo) de tagging of 5.1 conent to mask the sound bug) oh well as long as they get it fixed before the s02E01 of The grand tour gose live I'll stop moaning
Aha, i missed that, sorry my brain is not at its best today.My reply is specifically pointed to that user's comment (and his generally compliant and paternalistic and contemptuous attitude)
By the way, anyone interested in this App on Apple TV is well aware of his content availability and therefore can choose to get benefits or not. But "choice" seems to be a problem for some in here
I have two different friends - with Rokus - who wanted to migrate to ATV (they use other Apple products), but _both_, funny enough, were holdouts due to the lack of Amazon PVI'll have to send them a message today!
True... but it kinda loses the effect if the word "Amazon" isn't there.
I think it's weird that the AppleTV icon doesn't actually say Amazon. Only "Prime Video" on the icon and the text below. There's plenty of room, however.
Even the tiny iPhone icon says Amazon.
Amazon's Prime Video device support page claims the Apple TV version supports 5.1 audio. If it doesn't people need to call into Amazon and complain (call or chat are the only options).
