Prime Video joins some of the world’s best apps, all in one place and easy to navigate from one Home screen so you can get to your next watch with the click of a button.”
Hushidar Kharas, Head of Prime Video Australia, said:
“As a customer obsessed company, we are always looking for new ways to be more accessible to our customers in Australia.

We have subscribed to Prime on our foxtel. Why does it keep dropping out and saying there is an error?
Hi Ivan – what kind of internet connection do you have for your IQ? Is it a strong connection where the box is?
a bit confusing – do we get Prime as part of our foxtel package, or does it cost extra after the 30 day free trial?
Hi Sadie – You need to subscribe separately to Prime Video. This app allows you access to your account through the iQ.
Have an IQ4 and a Prime membership but cannot get the app under the Apps section. What can I do?
Hi how do I use my prime video account with foxtel on another device
I have IQ3 but cannot see Amazon Prime in my app section. My mate has iq3 and he has it. Do I need software upgrade on box?
Hi Terry – yes.
Hi Steve, I also have IQ3 and can’t get Amazon Prime – how do we do a software update?
Hi Leanne – Is your IQ3 connected to the internet? When was the last time you shut it down and restarted it? If it is, and recently restarted, it would be worth contacting Foxtel support.
Do I have to create the Prime account using the same details as for the Foxtel account?
So even though I have the app on my Foxtel iq3 I still need a subscription to Amazon Prime to access this app…….is that correct?
Really thought from all the advertising that it would be included for free……wrong !
