Prime Members can get 2-Months of Showtime and/or Starz for $0.99 per month

Posted by Elias Saba on — 3 Comments

Amazon is offering Prime members a 2 month subscription to Showtime and/or Starz for just $0.99 per month. You have to be a Prime member because these are subscriptions to Prime Video Channels. You can subscribe to either one or both and you will be charged $0.99 each month per channel. Your subscription will automatically renew at the regular price of $10.99 for Showtime and/or $8.99 for Starz after those first 2 months. If you only want the subscriptions during the 2-month discounted price, just be sure to go to this page in a month and cancel the subscription. Once canceled, you’ll still be able to watch until the month is over. If you’re worried you’ll forget to stop the renewal, you can subscribe right now and then immediately cancel to just get 1 month at $0.99, since you don’t have to subscribe for 2 months. This deal ends July 7, 2020.

Amazon Prime Video app w/ Offline Viewing is now available for Windows 10

Posted by Elias Saba on — 5 Comments

An Amazon Prime Video app has just been released in the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 computers. You may think it’s unnecessary to have a dedicated app, since you can access all the same content through a browser, but the app comes with the unique ability to download videos for offline viewing. Like Amazon’s mobile apps, you can select from video quality settings of Good, Better, and Best when downloading content. One hour of video at the highest setting, which maxes out at 1080p, will use around 2.4 GB of storage space. The app is free, but you’ll need a Prime membership to access movies and shows.

Amazon extends Fire TV’s Free 1-year subscription of Food Network Kitchen to Echo Show owners

Posted by Elias Saba on

Earlier this year, Amazon and Food Network teamed up to offer a free 1-year subscription to Food Network Kitchen to Fire TV and Fire Tablet owners. Now that offer is being extended to Echo Show owners as well. Food Network Kitchen, which normally costs $40/year or $5/month, offers live cooking classes, cooking tutorials, recipies, and commercial-free episodes of Food Network shows. To take advantage of this offer through an Echo Show, just say “Alex, subscribe to Food Network Kitchen.” To take advantage of this offer on a Fire TV or Fire Tablet, just install the Food Network Kitchen app and follow the in-app instructions. Note that your subscription will auto-renew after your free year, so you’ll probably want to turn off auto-renewal on this page here immediately after starting your free subscription.
