[Electronics-Talk] Trials, Prime Video

[Peter]

Hello again everyone,

 

Many of these apps and services offer a trial period usually 7 to 14 days to
allow new users to evaluate the service in question and to not be out any
money should the service not be all you wanted or if accessibility issues
cause difficulty using the app or service.

 

                We can't say enough good things about prime video. It's our
go-to streaming app for lots of content and its usability by the blind.

 

                Besides the movies and tv shows we've bought over the years
and those offered via your Amazon Prime Accountyou can subscribe to
additional channels. We have a number of such channels through Amazon Prime.
Their lay-out and functionality is consistent with the rest of the Prime
Video App a good way to kill off accessibility issues with stand-alone apps
for services you can add to your Prime Account. Discovery Plus is one
example. Before updates to the stand-alone version were released it was
problematic with Google Assistant and Voiceover. It now works well with
these and Microsoft Narrator. Since we're big discovery fans we find it
convenient to have a Discovery Plus subscription within the Amazon Prime App
in addition to the stand-alone subscriptions.

 

                When Paramount Plus was added to prime Video we subscribed
to it there as content from the Smithsonian Channel is also available via
this app. Another neat feature of the Paramount Plus App is you can watch
your local CBS Channel from within Prime Video. We were so impressed with
how well it worked and the convenience of being able to catch the late news
without having to leave Prime Video.

 

                I recently had an opportunity to discuss Prime Video with an
Amazon Representative to troubleshoot some issues. I asked if Amazon is
considering addeing a live tv subscription to Prime Video like what exists
with Hulu. They already know that if they offer a cable replacement service
as a Prime Video add-on we'll be game to upgrade our Prime subscription.
Let's see if our wishes are granted. Now to go downstairs and catch some
great tv shows including our news. And we won't have to leave Prime Video to
watch it. Yay. All the best everyone.
