The App Store Odyssey: Most Toshiba Smart TVs have an app store. Think of it like a digital mall, but hopefully with less judgment and a higher chance of finding Prime Video.

If it's there, download and install that sucker!

The Manual Might Hold the Key (or at Least Point You in the Right Direction): Yes, we know, manuals are like the forgotten archives of the tech world.

Uh Oh, No Prime Video App in Sight? Don't Panic!

But hey, there's always the option to upgrade to a newer TV...or maybe just rewatch all your favorite DVDs (remember those?).
So there you have it! With a little know-how and maybe a sprinkle of luck, you'll be back to enjoying your favorite Prime Video shows in no time. Now go forth, conquer your TV woes, and get your stream on!
