Amazon Prime Video on SmartTV

Thought I would weigh in on this topic since I have the same problem with TMHI and Amazon Prime video. The prime app will load (slowly) but refuses to play videos (or trailers). My set up is tmhi Sagemcom gateway, TCL smart TV, and I just got the new Onn 4k pro streaming box. Everything works except Amazon. The Sony TV in the bedroom has a Google chromcast and it does not play videos on Amazon Prime either. Please TMO try and solve this problem, it's for real. 📺

Instead of waiting for a fix, you might do what others suggest and get a cheap Fire TV stick and use that to stream Prime Video.  Also, you can connect to Prime Video on your PC or cell phone and cast it to your Sony TV, after setting up casting. 

I am doing that now with Tubi TV, since their latest update made their app incompatible with my Sony Bravia.  I bring up what I want to watch my desktop or Moto cell phone and cast it to my TV.  The Sony remote even works in pausing, FF, RW and stopping what I am watching. 

P.S. An odd thing I discovered today . . . I turned off my cell phone, in the middle of a show, to disconnect from Tubi, but the show continued to play on my TV even after my cell phone was off!  Someone please explain how that could be. :)
