Amazon Prime Video on a laptop

[Bill]

Is this possible?

Their website says you can download to Fire tablets or phones, Android tablets or phones and iOS devices. Anyone know of any work arounds to use a laptop? Our internet is too slow to watch live so I want to download to a laptop and plug an HDMI cable into it to show it on the TV.

If it is possible it will show within the Prime Video window on your laptop.
Your other option is "dodgy" streaming apps that may offer download options.

You could try running the Android app in an android emulator on the laptop. Although there's no guarantee it'll work correctly.

Thanks, I'll have a Google and a go over the weekend.

You can play the videos straight from the Amazon website, not sure if they play from the basic find stuff on Amazon ages or there's a particular website, but the easiest way to do what y want is to play it in the web browser.

You could buy a Chromecast. Your laptop would then stream direct to your telly.

Will work for Netflix to. And you can buy / rent films from the play store too and stream them to your telly.

30 quid I think. 60 for the 4k one.

Guy, it's the streaming that is the problem full stop because his internet is not up to it.
He wants to download from Amazon Prime not stream.

Cheers all, just to round this off I'm using an Android emulator called BlueStacks that works perfectly.

Shame The Grand Tour is a bit pants!

At least its better than it was.
No fat american, no celebrities.
Its as good as it can be.
Much prefer Chris Harris now.
Did you see the Youtube clip of him with his dream 80s/90s garage? I think he had to change his pants.
