Am I supposed to get Amazon Prime in 4k through VMedia? I played 'Too Old to Die Young' through the V6 box and it looked absolutely awful - barely 720p. My v6 is set to output 2160p.

The same tv show streamed the same way (WiFi) through a BluRay player gets a lovely 4k picture.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Yes, you should get 4K. You should be able to tell the Prime Video app output by pressing 'up' to get the transport bar - that'll tell you the resolution format.

One thing to note though, currently Prime Video on the V6 only supports SDR. HDR support will come later but needs a V6 update.

The Now TV 10 month sports pass is back for £199. Cheapest way to watch Premiership football, so other subscriptions required.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

It just says 'HD' when I press the up button. Odd.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Have you rebooted recently. If not try that as I had the same with my 4k TV and a reboot got it showing the proper resolution progression up to Ultra HD.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Maybe you selected the HD version of whatever you were watching.

Two terms I particularly dislike are "sophisticated" and "pragmatic". ;)

Sophisticated implies someone is trying to pull the wool over my eyes. Pragmatic suggests previous optimism will go unrealised.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

It's definitely the 4k version - it says so. I've restarted the box but it still says HD and looks pretty dire.

I know the box does 4K because I've had Wimbledon and the HLG beta stuff on it.

very strange.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I see the V6 now has the Amazon prime video app and someone explain the difference between amazon prime video and just prime??
My wife wants to watch the tennis online which is on prime can this be done through the video app?

Amazon Prime customers pay £79 a year to Amazon for a number of benefits, including Prime Video.
Prime Video can also, I believe, be bought separately for a monthly charge.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

thanks I was mainly refering to the app on the V6 box it just says Amazon Prime Video so I take it this is only the film streaming service and you can't watch things like live ATP tennis or "the grand tour"

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Yes. Go to the bottom of the app or sports from the top bar

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

To watch the tennis, you either have to be an Amazon Prime customer or pay the monthly Amazon Video charge. You have to be a paying Amazon customer.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

You can watch live tennis (Premier league in December too I would imagine) and the grand tour you can also watch content in UHD

£59 if you sub on Prime day.
Prime video costs £5.99 on it's own.
