[Electronics-Talk] Amazon on Apple TV

[Raymond Foret Jr]

Well, I hav a third gen Apple TV and Amazon Prime video is accessible on it also.  I’m very disappointed however because the movies are not presented in 5.1 channel sound on the regular sound tracks like they are on iTunes or Netflix.

Amazon is aware of this but I know of no effort to correct it.
