Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

All rugby autumn international s will be only be on prime . S4C still in talks over Wales/ Welsh broadcasting

Re: Amazon / autumn international s
 

I will re-subscribe in time for that, probably keep until after Christmas taking in the 2 rounds of Premier League, then cancel again.

Cannot stand watching S4C with Welsh commentary.

Re: Amazon / autumn international s
 

I tend to watch on mute and Use radio . Or not bother with chatter at all:rolleyes:

Re: Amazon / autumn international s
 

I love S4C, free live soccer. Matches don't get bigger than Cefn Druids v Bala.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

I believe that customers who have the Tivo box will not be able to watch them because Amazon Prime does not work on the Tivo boxes, despite Prime having its own EPG number. Correct?

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

I was almost interested in this, then I realised its Rugby .... and lost interest. :)

I see they do have some football again at the end of November, and December.
I generally get prime for a month covering Christmas, so I'll likely do the same again this year.

(Unless they offer a good yearly deal again for Black Friday/Cyber Monday).

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

EPG number just points to the app and clearly states V6 only

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Wales on line ,reporting it will not be on S4C - Amazon looking at red button for Welsh

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Thank you for that.

I think it's really bad that Amazon Prime is not available to Tivo customers. Netflix is so why not Amazon Prime as well, given that Amazon Prime has its own EPG number.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

It is down to app stability and minimum requirements for each device.

A bit like when apps are dropped from older iPads or iPhones due to them no longer being compatible

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Really, Prime is stable enough on SkyQ - perhaps money might have been a factor?

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

SkyQ & V6/360 boxes all have more oomph than the basic TiVo which is nearing 10 year old hence it is unlikely money is the factor.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

It's stable enough on the V6 - it is down to the older hardware.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Wasn't Amazon Prime made available on the EPG when they first started showing live Premier League, and that Tivo customers were able to access Amazon at that point?

Also it's worth stating that the box I have is less than five years old and Netflix is available to Tivo customers so I see no reason as to why Amazon Prime is not.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

The TiVos don't have enough memory to run Amazon. Yours may be 5 years old, but the design is now 12 years old.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Thank you for replying Spiderplant. So is this the case with every other app than VM offers, apart from the three which are available to me - iPlayer, Netflix and the STV Player?

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Well, the TiVo is basically full, but surely you have apps like YouTube, Vevo and ITV Hub (possibly not if you're in Scotland?).

I don't expect any new apps to be added to TiVo.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

ITV Hub isn't compatible with legacy TiVo boxes. Only V6 TiVos.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Ah yes. There is an ITV Hub app on TiVos, but it just loads a holding page.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Yes i have YouTube and Vevo but ITVHub is not available.

And I also don't expect to see any more apps added.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

I bought the Fire Stick and ethernet adaptor (£54 on Amazon)

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

I'm curious to know what you mean when you say that "the Tivo is virtually full".

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

There is no spare memory to allow new applications to be added

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Is there a reason why you don’t upgrade? If you use old gadgets they will lose their ability to carry on showing you what you receive now, as well as not being able to show the new apps.

The V6 performs much better but is almost identical to the TiVo from the user’s perspective, and the 360 Horizon box is the most up to date, but with a completely different UI.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

I am a TV only customer who is happily contracted to another provider for telephone and internet.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

I see. What will you do about your services when they ultimately stop providing TV via the TiVo? It's getting quite old now.

Re: Amazon / Autumn Internationals
 

Probably go to another provider but that's a decision I would have to make at the time but VM will still have a decent number of TV only customers so I don't see this happening just yet.

I've just started a discussion about this so that this particular topic can get back to what ti is supposed to be talking about :)
