Amazon Prime- Downloading series/episodes

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way that I can download episodes or series on amazon prime, I know you can watch them but there must be a way that they can be downloaded too, if anyone can help that would be great thanks.

  • no , coz you would burn them to DVD and set up on the car boot!




    amazon is a streaming site , therefore you can WATCH them , not own them

    You can download to phones and tablets IIRC
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    the next time you go to the pictures and pay to watch the film , ask them if you can have a copy to watch again next week

    So your 'no' excluded phones and tablets?

    Next time, you could maybe make that clear rather than just a blanket no? - if you actually know that in the first place or just say you aren't sure if you don't.

    For the record I've never done it but looked at it for some reason recently.

    This is what torrents are for, more BS restrictions on use.

    yes you can d/load to a tablet , like most other people I prefer to watch films etc on a TV rather than a small phone or tablet .


    once the item is d/loaded it cannot be removed from the tablet to a more suitable viewing device , and has a pre set time limit to the viewing of it.


    also note that only curtain titles can be d/loaded because of copyright reasons .


    so for the average user of amazon , with a TV , the answer is NO you cannot d/load items to save and play later on your TV
