You can get Amazon Prime Video on Roku now

Was just listening to an interesting article about the changes in the consuming behaviour of people these days.

We really don't watch TV when it comes on anymore.  I was trying to give my son some perspective as we sat down to eat and turned the TV on - the arguments we had when we were younger about who gets to watch what... now we can always say "it'll be on later, you can watch on demand".

Anyways, one of those 'on demand' services is the Amazon Prime Video program.  And if you're a subscriber, there's a new way for you to get that video - on the Roku with the Amazon Prime Video app/channel
