Amazon Video now available on Roku players in the UK
With Amazon Video now being available across all the Roku devices in the United Kingdom that means it’s now rocking the full stock of major streaming services as well as all the catch-up TV options too.
Amazon 4K Fire TV Box vs Nvidia Shield vs Roku 4 This is a rare move for Amazon, which typically doesn’t have as big a presence on mini streamers as chief rival Netflix.
Earlier this year Roku launched its universal search feature in the United Kingdom that enables consumers to quickly find the content they want to watch. With the addition of Amazon app to Roku device, it has become UK’s most useful media streaming device.
Prime Video is the U.K.’s largest online video streaming service, offering subscribers unlimited access to over 15,000 popular movies and TV episodes.
The media streaming service has announced that the company is adding Amazon app for its set-top boxes in UK. But until now it’s been missing video from Amazon. The Amazon video channel can be downloaded now. But this Ultra HD device from Roku is still exclusive to US.
Customers who are not already members can start a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime by visiting www.amazon.co.uk/prime.
In total, there are about 50,000 different shows and movies available for streaming via Amazon video.
Roku is the creator of a popular streaming platform for delivering entertainment to the TV.
Roku has told us that it hopes to eventually see the Roku 4 released in other countries but that’s a long way from giving us any idea as to when we’ll actually see the powerful wee streamer hitting these shores.
