Prime Time on Your Tivo: Conquering the Amazonian Stream (without getting lost in the jungle)
So, you've exhausted the latest season of Bake Off, and reruns of Only Fools and Horses just aren't cutting it anymore. The call of the wild (or rather, the wild selection of shows on Amazon Prime) is getting too loud to ignore. But fret not, dear reader, for there's a way to bring the wonders of Prime Video to your trusty Virgin Tivo box. No need to channel your inner Indiana Jones and hack your way through the technological jungle – this is a surprisingly smooth (and legal) operation.

| How To Get Amazon Prime On Virgin Tivo Box |
Step One: Acquire the Shiny Key (Yes, it involves cake)
Before you can unlock the treasures of Prime Video, you'll need a subscription (think of it as your key to the kingdom). Head over to the Amazon website and sign yourself up for Prime. Don't worry, there's usually a free trial to test the waters (and by waters, we mean a delicious ocean of movies and shows). Just remember to cancel before the trial ends if you decide Prime isn't your cup of tea (or slice of Victoria sponge, as the case may be).
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
Pro Tip: Signing up while shoving cake in your face is entirely optional, but highly recommended for maximum enjoyment.
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
Step Two: Unearthing the Primeval App (It's not actually that prehistoric)
Now you've got your subscription sorted, it's time to find the Prime Video app on your Virgin Tivo box. This is where things can get a little Jurassic Park – if your box is a V6 box, powered by TiVo®, a Virgin TV 360 box or Stream from Virgin Media, you're in luck. The Prime Video app should be lurking somewhere in the Apps & Games section. If you have a different box, well, you might need to embark on a different adventure (perhaps involving a fancy new smart TV or a trusty old Fire Stick).
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
Don't see the Prime Video App? Fear not, adventurer! The app store might hold the key. Just navigate to the app store and see if Prime Video is available to download.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.

Step Three: Signing in and Conquering (This is where it gets easy)
Once you've unearthed the Prime Video app (or it's been there all along, patiently waiting), launching it is a breeze. Just a quick click or two, and you'll be prompted to sign in with your Amazon account details. Hey presto! You're now in the Prime Video jungle, ready to explore the vast library of shows and movies.
Bonus Tip: Because Prime Video is all buddy-buddy with your Virgin Tivo box, you can search for Prime Video content without even opening the app! Just use the Search & Discover function and type away. Virgin TV 360 and Stream customers can even use voice search to find their next Prime Video obsession – how cool is that?
So there you have it! With these handy steps, you'll be streaming the latest season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or indulging in a classic like The Office in no time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with destiny (otherwise known as a marathon session of The Boys). Happy Streaming!
