Fetch TV and Amazon today announced that the Amazon Prime Video app is launching on Fetch tomorrow. The Amazon Prime Video app will roll out to Fetch Mighty boxes over a two week period, commencing Tuesday.
Subscribers with a Fetch Mini box are expected to receive the Amazon Prime Video app in the next release, currently scheduled for the end of June.
Fetch households with Amazon Prime memberships will have access to lots of Amazon Original series including The Grand Tour, The Expanse, Star Trek: Picard, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Fleabag, The Man in the High Castle and Good Omens.
Amazon has also licenced a wide variety of TV shows and movies including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, various SyFy channel series, Downton Abbey, The Good Fight and Parks and Recreation.
This includes the new Australian Amazon Original stand-up specials exclusively available now on Amazon Prime Video, with two specials being released each week over a five-week period.
“Fetch has enjoyed tremendous success by making good on the simple proposition of ‘All your entertainment in one easy place’ said Scott Lorson, CEO of Fetch TV.”
“We expect strong take up of the Amazon Prime Video service on Fetch. Australian households are, more than ever, looking for quality home entertainment options as they bunker down and practice social distancing.”
Prime members have access to thousands of movies and TV shows, more than two million songs and thousands of stations and playlists ad-free on Amazon Music, access to over 1,000 e-books with Prime Reading, benefits for gamers with Twitch Prime, access to discounted Amazon online priority delivery and more.
Current Amazon Prime members simply enter their existing Username and Password to access the Amazon Prime Video app on Fetch.
Fetch box users that are not currently Prime members can follow the easy on-screen instructions to sign up and start their Prime 30-day free trial. After that Prime membership is available for either $6.99 a month or $59 a year.
“All your entertainment in one easy place”. Unless you have a Fetch Mini like most of us do ☹️
the update rollout to Mighty boxes has been a bit buggy so you’re actually lucky to have a Mini in this case.
The update should be quite stable by the time it gets rolled out to Mini owners like yourself
