A very low key launch and no mention of it on the Roku website that I can find, but the Amazon app is finally available to download for free from your Roku.
I hope others find this helpful and are as pleased as me that this has finally happened.
Inexcusable how long it's taken them but great that it's finally here.

So, I guess I need to get it onto my NowTV box.
I wonder when/if it'll be out for the Apple TV?

Hahaha, I did wonder about the Amazon App on the NowTV Boxes, lol. :-)

The NowTV box is a rebranded Roku. With the simple hack to developer mode (do a google, it's really simple) I'd guess you should be able to get this app on it.

Think I'll be ditching the Fire stick and getting a Roku now.

Even with the hack to developer mode, its not straight forward to get this on the NowTV box as some one with more technical knowledge would have needed to upload the app in a compatible format with the NowTV box since Sky will probably block this from being downloaded?
Anyone who's managed to get this on the NowTV please let us know :smiley:

I'd be amazed if this ever turns up on the NowTV box. If they won't allow Netflix, why would they allow this?

You started out so confidently, but finished up with a half-hearted guess that didn't help at all!

Fair comment. Just took a look and it's not there in the "streaming channels" (apps?) under "film/TV" or "internet TV", so I guess I was talking balls. Soz!
