I have been a member of Amazon Prime for years and am just now learning about channel subscription options within Amazon Prime Video.
My hubby is in Assisted Living and I am in Independent Living in a very nice Continuing Care Community. Our community provides a Comcast Xfinity subscription (with the cable box) in our monthly fee and I have upgraded both of our Comcast packages because he likes to watch old movies, Westerns, nature shows (like David Attenborough), some sports. I also have Apple TV+.
He is able to access Prime Video and Apple TV+ through the Comcast remote by saying "Prime Video" or "Apple TV" and it takes him directly to the auto login. I wish he could just browse everything without having to leave the Comcast side, but it doesn't work that way. He does have some cognition issues, but right now, can change the channels ok. I have it set up so that if he picks something with an extra cost, he would have to type in the PIN, which I have not given him.
I am thinking of subscribing to several of the specific channels offered through Prime Video, so that he can just access more shows by going into the Prime Video interface and not having to go to each specific app provider. Is this correct?
Also, for those of you with family members in this situation, what additional channels do you subscribe to within Prime Video?
Edited to add: Thank you all for replying. I will try a few of the subscriptions for a trial week and see how it goes!
