I don't have the TV yet but am thinking about it a little more, bearing
in mind that Apple is getting its fingers into the pie!

I would say yes, but iOS/SIRI search is only available for now in the US,
Canada, Australia, Norway and sweden.
Just check your Apple TV, if it's there then it's there.

Is Prime Video available for Apple TV over here in the UK yet? If so, has
anyone tried it!

seems like it needs some work. I couldn't figure out how to register
it but I was kind of tired last night when trying to set it up. Plus
why does another voice starts when you enter the app, hell voice over
is already on the apple tv.

Also don't forget that if you know what you want to watch or search
for you can ask SIRI to find it.

Make sure you have direct touch in abled… One of the messages when
you first started tells you that you need that… That it all works
perfectly…

I had a brief play with it on my 4th Gen Apple TV last night and
noticed a few things. First, there is a voice that starts speaking
when the app detects you are using VoiceOver, along with a VoiceOver
navigation voice. Also, these two voices appear to be the same.
Perhaps I was just hearing things due to the late hour last night,
but it sounded like there were 2 voices of the same kind, like
Samantha, speaking on my Apple TV inside the Prime Video app. Next,
it took me a few swipes on the remote to get it to move anywhere.
The first few swipes would give me the message something like cannot
swipe in that direction. Finally, though I could activate the menus
and browse a few items in the categories, it was a bit frustrating.
Hopefully Voiceover support will improve in future versions. Would
be interested in other opinions since I played with it right before bed.

Hi,
Surprised nobody noticed this yet, but when I saw I had 6 app
updates tonight I had a look and the long-awaited and announced
app for Amazon Prime Video for TVOS is now available.
The description of the iOS app said:
* Watch on your Apple TV directly by downloading the separate TVOS app.
Requires Apple TV Third Generation or later.
* Universal search now supported - search for prime videos using
iOS search/SIRI (US, Canada, Australia, Norway and Sweden only
* iPhone 10 support
This is good timing indeed since I just signed up for the 30-day
Amazon Prime trial, now that we have received our Echo devices and
the app is available it will be worthwhile to pay for it and keep
it going.
