Amazon Prime Video arrived some time ago, trying to become a strong competition for other services such as Netflix or HBO. But the reality is that at the moment it is a little far from achieving it. The quantity (and quality) of its content is partly to blame, but also the fact that until now it wasn't compatible with Android TV devices, so we couldn't enjoy it on the big screen.
After a long time and many complaints from users, the Amazon Prime Video Spain and other countries application has finally appeared, for devices connected to the television. But while this is certainly a breakthrough, we still have reason not to be too happy.
Amazon Prime Video Spain and other countries, comes to Android TV, but does not convince
Very limited compatibility
Many users who had an Android TV device were very happy to see that a version of the Android TV service appeared in the Google Play Store. Amazon thought for them. But the reality is that the news is not as positive as we might have thought. And it is that, at the moment, this app is compatible with very few devices, so that most users are still unable to use it.
Therefore, it seems that watching Amazon content on our television will continue to be an odyssey. And it is that, in addition to the compatibility problems of the app for Android TV, there is still a long-awaited piece of news that has not appeared for many: support for Chromecast, which would allow us to cast the content from a smartphone or tablets.
Also, it seems that at the moment there are no plans for this support to be included soon. Therefore, the only way to see the catalog of series and movies on television is by connecting the PC with a cable. It is also possible from some Samsung Smart TV models, in which we can download the app from its application store. With this app we are going to access its catalog, using only the remote of our Smart TV.
Recent and classic videos and movies
If you are one of the lucky ones who has managed to run the app on your Android TV, the use is similar to that of the app for smartphones and tablets. You will simply have to choose what you want to see and press play. It is true that the catalog is more limited than that of other services, but you will be able to watch relatively recent movies and series. We will also find movie classics, some translated into Spanish and others with subtitles.
Categories of series, drama movies, comedy, action, animation, for the whole family, documentaries, are some of the contents that you can enjoy. A catalog that must be updated and improved if it wants to compete with other content services.
