Fantastic news for those without Smart TVs and who rely on Chromecast etc but would need an Apple TV box, Fetch or Hubble. Bad news for those latter three then.
My latest issue with Prime involves a sudden loss of picture clarity. Tried watching episode one of Cross but found the screen incredibly dark (sunny outdoor scenes were like they were filmed during an eclipse).All other channels are fine.
Went looking for Cross via alternative source and found the clarity was perfect.
Does Prime expect me to upgrade again for better quality picture? Bad enough with the slug to avoid their enforced advertising windows.
Sometimes trailers and stills are very dark too. I have to lift the exposure in the latter otherwise the photo ends up looking like a small grey box on the home page. It happens a lot….
