Channels & viewing

I have set up my ROKU Express and it seems to be working. But when I try to get Amazon Prime Video I have problems. I have a code on the TV screen but I can't get ROKU to accept this code. I've tried several time but it just says not recognised. Any thoughts?

It's not clear what you're trying to do.  If Amazon Prime is showing a code then you wouldn't use that on Roku's website.

I'm trying to get Amazon Prime video on my TV. I have an Amazon account. With ROKU, I click on the Amazon icon and it asks me to open the Amazon account and enter the code that it (ROKU) shows.

I go to Amazon and all I can see to do is activate another device. This asks me for a code. When I enter the TV code it just says it's incorrect.

And there I am, stuck.

I'd suggest removing the Prime channel from the Roku, reboot the Roku (very important, don't skip this step), then add the channel and try again. Sounds like something in the channel isn't working correctly.

Sounds like a good plan. Will try tomorrow - it's about my bedtime now.

Thanks.

The code the amazon app gives is entered when go to this address amazon.com/mytv, but do it address bar of your cellphone. Not search engine like google or bing. 

First you have to sign in with your account email and password, then it leads to a page to enter the link code.

As mentioned previously. When you open Prime Video, it asks you to enter a code on the Amazon web site. If you aren't getting the code, do the remove, reboot, install channel mentioned above.

Thanks all. It's now fixed and up and running OK.
