Question re. Amazon Prime TV

Just signed up for 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime only so I can watch the Rugby Union Autumn Internationals.
I have no experience of streaming TV services so please excuse what might be a silly question.
Do I have to watch the matches live or do they remain available to watch later?

You can watch them live as a live stream (no different to TV or YouTube) and a replay may be available for a few days later, or highlights depending on the rights Amazon have.

As above majority on prime not ITV/BBC as claimed .As far as i can work out from RFU matches can be watched later but will expire at end of contract .Plus no ability to record is a negative for this supplier .0

Dont disagree with that but i don't want to be tied down as Prime take over 6 Nations prem Rugby 2021/2022 as BT contract ends May 2021 .National Broadcasters , I Player ( wales/ scotland )BT Sports , SKY Sports ,Premier Sports . You Tube are enough to contend with .0

Multiple paywalls is the problem i see .Note anyone who does not have free Prime offerVideo only is £5-99 pm via the more plans tab on Prime sign up .0

I think multiple paywalls are going to be a problem. The only two sports I would be content to pay to watch are International Rugby Union and MOTOGP. PPV providers need to find a way to allow me to pick and choose what I watch through their services because I won't be paying for coverage of stuff I have no interest in.0
