Macrovision never lived up to its promise of not compromising picture quality. It was incompatible with most Sharp TVs back in the day, causing major skewing at the top of the picture and fluctuating brightness levels. MGM got so many complaints that they stopped using Macrovision on their...

The lawsuit needs to be amended to include the fact that Amazon failed to even mention that Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos were moved to the ad-free tier, and still hasn't come completely clean on that issue.

HTF doesn't have one.

I was not aware of the WWE deal with Netflix, but then again, I don't pay much attention to Pro Wrestling. I think we all know that sports is what has been driving cable, satellite, and other similar services prices upwards. When the Los Angeles Dodgers partnered with Time Warner Cable (now...

Apparently, the movement of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos to the ad-free tier was intentional but no one bothered to tell anyone at Prime Video support. https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/amazon-prime-video-ad-tier-no-dolby-vision-atmos/

Spread the Word...

So, as a test, I upgraded to Ad-Free and then tried to play Season 2, Episode 1 of Reacher and it miraculously began playing in both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos (it was playing in HDR10 and Dolby Digital+ 5.1 with Ad-Supported). I called and asked point blank "Is Ad-Free needed to play Prime...

Sounds about right for Amazon Customer Service....

I contacted Amazon and they credited me the $2.99 for the first month.

Currently, if you want to watch Prime Original content in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, you must have an ad-free Prime Video membership. This sucks big time! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Wonderful if you purchased a lot of digital music from Amazon, as that it the only music you can truly listen to On Demand. Otherwise, Amazon will randomly select something similar to what you have chosen, although I have had better luck with their "radio stations" and curated playlists. On the...

They may eventually be making more than that (although it is currently $2.99, not $4) as they report membership numbers to potential advertisers, which they use to set rates.

My latest episode:

Have you tried re-sending to [email protected]?

So, this went into effect this week, and most of the ads that are front-loaded are all for Amazon products or services that I was able to see. However, there does seem to be a problem, and that is any program that was encoded with Dolby Vision HDR on Prime Video now only plays in HDR10...

But we all know what they do with “feedback.”

They won’t if they are smart. The price increase likely won’t go into effect for annual subscribers until it’s time to renew and we’ll be given the option of ads or no ads. That is my hunch, as that is what Disney did with D+.

It will never, ever apply to purchased content. That would just upset everyone.

Another issue with Prime Video is that no one really knows how much of that annual membership fee goes towards Prime Video programming (except for maybe Amazon bean counters). Hopefully, Amazon will adopt the same advertising formula used by Peacock: TV series will have ads inserted where they...

And Prime Video has the distinction of having two of the most expensive series ever produced (on a per episode basis) - Rings of Power and Wheel of Time.
