If all the owners of televisions or boxes under Android TV thought they could finally enjoyAmazon Prime Video on their devices, manufacturers do not seem to want to make it easy for them.
An installation decided or not by the manufacturer

It will be the manufacturers which will decide whether or not Amazon Prime Video can be installed. Updates to the app will be retrieved from the Play Store, like the rest of the software available on Android TV.Read also:

According to 9to5google, Hisense is currently one of the only partners compatible and integrates it by default into its interface, after installing an update. Sony also offers the application on some of its models.
