Amazon Prime?

I don't have cable or satellite TV and don't bother with Freeview either but is Amazon Prime work a short term membership - it might even only be for one program! So what do those who already subscribe to it think? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

We have Amazon Prime, originally for the cheaper/faster postage, with the music and movies as an extra. As we have Netflix then this is much better than Amazon Prime - there are of course many great movies on Amazon but you need to pay a rental/purchase. I guess the free Prime movies are just a teaser to draw you in.

If you are a regular Amazon shopper, and may take advantage of the music aswell then yes it may be an ok deal, but otherwise for movies only then I'd recommend Netflix. We have also had NowTV from sky but again kept heading to Netflix (yes we had all three on the one TV at a time, just to test which got used)

I'd highly recommend running a VPN on the firestick if doing this - Kodi is of course free and legal...the added channels of course are not and I'd guess it won't be long before the ISP's are tracking them like they currently do with torrent sites.
Don't go for the first free VPN you can find, do a bit of research to make sure you get one that really doesn't log your details, not all keep you anonymous, and are more than happy to provide your details to the law when asked.

Thanks guys, I'm not a huge TV watcher. Worse I only got one because I need to have a TV license to watch iPlayer and other streamed programmes - I've lived here for 34 years but only had a TV in the last 4 years and then it is digital over the old terrestrial analogue transmitters that were converted - I do get brilliant HD over it, far better than my sister and parents get over their dishes! I only have the small selection of channels that are now subscription and am happy, however I would like to see The Grand Tour which I am sure will appear somewhere on the net eventually! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Can you tell me more about these please? Can one watch the Grand Tour with it? Do they conk out after a bit like the dodgy Sky boxes used to?

I also want to watch GT but it doesn't seem worth coughing up for Prime ongoing and a one off payment suits me better. Get a 2005-2009 RRS (FAH500210) sat nav/dash mat here - the one that wasn't there when you bought the car.

Hi Guys,

Just watched The Grand Tour and thought it was excellent. Interestingly in the "what's coming up in the series" section I noticed a Bentley Bentayga being put through its paces so worth keeping a look out for that!!!!
I'm lucky enough that the wife spends Censored lots on Amazon and we have it available and you can tell that the shackles have come off which was BBC run and they seem to be taking it to another level now on Amazon. What do others think???

I seem to already have Amazon Prime as once I had downloaded the app I was able to watch the Grand Tour without being asked to pay anything.............. I really enjoyed it and it makes Top Gear look like an old banger on its way to the scrap heap. The execs at the BBC must be fuming at what they basically gave away................. Now JC and the team have no worries about being PC or upsetting little old ladies on a \Sunday evening they can do more outrageous things! I haven't enjoyed a TG programme as much for a long time, butI did enjoy the 1st GT. About time they stopped running Ferrarri's if the conditions placed on them for the LaFerrari continue, makes Ferrari look very stupid, like Bentley were made to look dumb a few years ago by the TG team. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

As it goes, GT was online FOC straight away so no Prime needed for those not inclined. Get a 2005-2009 RRS (FAH500210) sat nav/dash mat here - the one that wasn't there when you bought the car.
