I just bought one it then plays on fire stick ok in HD. The search was on my phone and it then opened the amazon app, with the link to buy...
There won't be any links as its only available via the Amazon Video app on the eligible devices.
Exactly the same from Amazon.
Really? I was sure you could buy them from the main site like you can rent movies and buy kindle book. I know you need the app to watch. Really stupid system if that is the case as it rules out anyone who doesn't have access to their device at the time or wants to build a collection in advance of getting a compatible tv...
Yep sadly that is the case... I asked Amazon UK earlier, as my friend sent me a message about the sale. That was why I posted the guide in the post on how to access it, as it is the only way to buy and stream.

£3.99 for the new one.
I won't buy from Amazon since they don't support Casting and I have four other TV's in the house that can be casted to.
I've tried different settings.
No problems when it's non 4k.
But then it gets worse, they will only licence play service you have to be running core android not a custom fork, any customisation has to be done via skinning which in itself is an inefficient system that cause slow down and is the main cause of most android devices issues. So Amazon couldn’t even licence it even if they were willing to take those hits because they use a fork
Now obviously they could add it to iOS Amazon apps (but not Android) but that causes confusion for their own devices and as Amazon really market their devices to the people who don’t know much about tech but may take a punt on it because they trust Amazon they just can’t afford that confusion.
Google need to get over themselves, break casting out of play services so the likes of Amazon can use it on their devices and maybe make it viable for casting to start being added to apps on other mobile platforms and windows/macOS apps without hacks
You're talking about something completely different. My point is I won't buy from Amazon or iTunes because both require you to invest in their ecosystem to use their services.
I can't play back content from iTunes on my cast enabled devices or any other devices other than from the bloated iTunes on my PC from Apple. For Amazon I would need to replace my Chromecasts with Fire Sticks or like Apple watch it from a browser. At least with the Play Store purchases I can play movies on my PC, iOS and Android devices.
Amazon Prime Video recently moved to the Play Store so you never no Chromecast support might be added one day.

The above list is just a sample of the sale. Most newer releases are are £7.49 to £13.99.
- Amazon Prime subscriptions
- Having a correct UHD/4k television (like HD on SD screens you will notice no real improvement) +receiving equipment
- Having a proper high speed fibre broadband connection, over 50 meg
After all of this the quality of the UHD picture is fractionally better than HD, it is a good deal for those that have the above but it is not worth buying a new television to get the deal
I can watch 4k fine on a 20Mb line however I agree the improvement over HD is not massive
You are lucky, I am with BT, so 50 meg line just about does it - just
If only virgin broadband had a better deal
The TV upscales standard Blu-ray nicely though
I also only have it on a 1080P set atm as I already have plenty of other sources connected to my 4K set, but I wouldn't have thought that would matter since the box itself is still 4K capable?
Does anyone with the Fire TV box know if this offer displays from the home screen? or do you have to go into a specific application?
These prices are actually pretty good for 4K films to own (assuming they aren't just rentals?) just wish Amazon would make it easier to actually buy them, it's like they don't want my money.....
I watched Ghostbusters in 4K from the 1-3 4K Boxset, one of the first 4K films I got and while I'll always have a soft spot for the first film, I didn't really feel much benefit from 4K and the extra clarity just seemed to expose excessive film grain in some/many scenes. Though there will always be exceptions IME modern films seem to benefit more from 4K.....
The film looks absolutely stunning on our new Hisense 49" 4K HDR TV (£454 from Hughes). If you can, connect your UHD TV with an Ethernet cable or 5Ghz Wi-Fi. I have PlusNet Broadband 55/18 and the quality is perfect.
