Step 1: Assess Your Telly's Temperament
First things first, a spot of detective work is required. Is your telly a smart one? These fancy fellows usually come with app stores pre-installed, just waiting for your Prime Video glory. If you're unsure, a quick Google search with your telly's brand and model should clear things up.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
Found an app store? Excellent! Skip ahead to Step 3: Download and Conquer. Telly looking a bit dim? Don't fret, there are still ways to join the Prime party. Head on over to Step 4: Alternative Armies for some workarounds.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.
Step 2: Embrace the Inner Amazonian (or Amazonian't)
Do you already have an Amazon account, that magical portal to two-day delivery and questionable purchases at 3 am? If so, you're halfway there! New to the Amazonian way of life? No worries, creating an account is a breeze. Just be prepared to resist the urge to buy everything in sight (guilty as charged).
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
Top Tip: Signing up for a Prime free trial is a great way to test the waters before committing. Just remember to cancel before the trial ends, unless you want that shiny Prime symbol next to your name and a year's worth of free deliveries (and potential retail therapy sprees).
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.

Step 3: Download and Conquer (the App Store, that is)
Now that you've identified your telly's app store and (maybe) embraced your inner Amazonian, it's time to download the Prime Video app. Search for it in your app store, download it, and with a triumphant click, you've taken a massive leap towards Prime Video nirvana.
Step 4: Alternative Armies (for those without Smart Tellies)
Fear not, fellow telly owner with a non-smart device! There are still ways to join the Prime Video revolution. Here are a few loyal soldiers in your streaming war:
- Streaming Devices: Roku, Chromecast, or Fire TV Stick are all valiant allies. These nifty little gadgets connect to your telly's HDMI port and grant you access to a whole world of streaming services, including Prime Video.
- Games Consoles: Your trusty PlayStation or Xbox might just be the hero you need. Many consoles have built-in app stores where you can download the Prime Video app.
- Laptop/Phone to the Rescue: While not the ideal lounging experience, you can always cast Prime Video from your laptop or phone to your telly using a Chromecast or similar device.
Step 5: Registration Rodeo (and the Finish Line!)
Once you've launched the Prime Video app, you'll likely need to register your device. This is a fancy way of saying you need to tell Amazon that, yes, this particular telly (or device) belongs to you and you want to use Prime Video on it. The app will usually provide you with a code. Head over to https://www.amazon.co.uk/my-tv/s?k=my+tv on your computer or phone, enter the code, and voila! You're officially registered.
Congratulations! You've conquered the steps, wrestled with the app store, and emerged victorious. Now, sit back, grab your favourite snacks (Prime membership doesn't come with bottomless popcorn, sadly), and get ready to explore the vast and wonderful world of Amazon Prime Video. Happy streaming!
