Amazon Prime Video in India!

Agree with Saket77. Launching channels is somewhat understandable, but the offerings in the form of 'rent' is polar opposite of what prime should be! I am okay with them releasing the movies after sometime, but it doesn't make sense for them to launch the rent construct. One argument could be that they don't charge separately for content (be in audio or motion) but the whole concept of OTT is getting lost in this mix. Netflix is considering introducing ads, it will just kill the experience.

I am might be okay with paying separately for content over and above the delivery service for example: base prime is only for deliveries and extra payment for each music and videos but there should not be any layers within videos!

You can use the fire stick app and manage everything through your phone till the time you find a replacement.

Just checked it out
It costs 1700 odd versus 600-800 in Amazon for a remote
Only it does not seem original ?

Thank you for your help

I did not get you. My suggestion was to download the fire stick app on your phone and use it as a remote. The app is totally free to use.

My remote is also damaged. The best solution I could find and everyone at home loves it, is to connect a wireless keyboard. Just buy a usb split cable that gives a usb host port and a micro usb one side, and the regular USB connector to correct to the charger on the other side.

Having a wireless keyboard makes it so nice to search and do things. If anyone goes in this direction be sure to buy a keyboard that has play/pause buttons.

Try searching for "Fire TV", as warrioroaks indicated can be useful till you get delivery.

For all those searching for Fire TV remote on Google Play, search with words Fire TV. I'm unable to attach the link.

Maybe it’s too late but here is the link for iOS - https://apps.apple.com/in/app/amazon...tv/id947984433

The link for Android was already shared above.

Is anyone getting Amazon Prime Lite plan, I was waiting to get it holding for my card cycle to change and now it has disappeared.

Anyone can still see Prime lite plan as an option?
