Amazon Video has a great selection of titles, from classics like Mad Men, to new hits like Bosch or The Man in the High Castle and Clarkson's new venture The Grand Tour. But it's not the simplest service to use.
Amazon Video comes as part of the Prime subscription, or as a separate Video subscription, giving you access to a range of free content. However, the service also includes rental and purchasing options, if you want to watch something like the latest blockbuster movie.
Prime Video gives you two ways to instantly stream Videos on your Android TV device. Buy or rent your favorite titles or join Amazon Prime and get unlimited access to award-winning Prime Originals as well as thousands of movies and TV shows at no additional cost. Browse titles, search for your favorites, or enjoy movies and shows recommended just for you.

For Apple users, watching Prime Video is relatively easy. You install the app from iTunes, sign-in and that's it, you can start watching.
But in the Android world, things are far from easy. Amazon's video service has the feeling that it was designed for its Fire family of devices, and only exists on Google Android devices with some reluctance. That's probably true, but let's not dwell on that.
It's a fiddle, but it's easy enough to bring it to any Android device, following these simple steps.
