    Personal opinion is that prime video is the weakest of the main platforms.
    The content is messy to navigate and they are buggers for trying to slip things you have to pay extra for at you.
    It's a bit more like a "blockbuster video" membership (guess that ages me) with some free "hooks" thrown in - TGT, Clarksons Farm, etc.

    They’ve started showing Premiership football live this week if that’s of interest. Not sure how long this is on the cards though.
    Not having a smart tv I bought the Amazon Firestick a year ago, enabled me to catch up on The Grand Tour and Clarksons Farm. Lot of other free channels available for a one-off purchase of the stick

    Now that's got me as this week they have premier league 
    Football on every day which even if they had on 3 days per week it would be worth it for me but how long for though? I read they only got the rights yo like 20 or 30 games this season but that can't be right as they have shown about 7 already tbis week? Confused.

    They had midweek games this week (will have 1 match to show later that was postponed - might have been man c vs someone) and they have Boxing day games and that is it.
