Amazon Instant Video on Now TV box

[Anonymous User]

Does anyone know if there is any way of sideloading the Amazon Instant Video app that was recently released for Roku boxes? Haven't found anything useful online.

@Anonymous User it's not possible. You would need Amazon to provide the source code and it's unlikely they will do that. Even Plex have restricted the version available to the "classic" whilst pushing ahead with a more closed source updated version.

Thanks for the info. I assumed because there was a way of getting Plex on it, somehow the Amazon app could be packaged up as well. Might be an excuse to upgrade to a proper Roku box 😕

If NOW TV wish to stay being stocked by Amazon, they may well add the Amazon app to maintain being sold.

Chromecast is about to stop being stocked by them for the same reason.

Vice Versa would be good too especially of sports and entertainment passes. - that is an app for the Amazon box. Let's face it Now makes its money from passes, more ways of watching the better.
