Prime Video Channel now has really bad pixelated video quality most of the time on 2 of my Roku deives (Ultra, and Express 4k+) . All other streaming channels are fine. Video quality is good on my phone, an Android TV, and on a Roku Streaming Stick+. Tried removing channel, restarting, and re-adding channel to no avail. Connection speed on devices are good at 80Mpbs+.

Re: Amazon Prime Video Poor Video Quality
...I'm sure they will tell me it's Roku's fault and will try and sell me a Fire TV Stick. I was hoping Roku would act on their customers behalf in order to provide a good experience for their own product.

Re: Amazon Prime Video Poor Video Quality
Nice try, but it shows the Prime app is already up to date.

Re: Amazon Prime Video Poor Video Quality
Thanks for keeping us posted, @psari49.
During playback, kindly click on the Star button on your remote to look for additional picture settings. Also, since the issue is isolated to Amazon Prime, reaching out to the provider and asking for additional troubleshooting steps may sort out this concern, so we recommend you do so.
Let us know your findings.
Sincerely,

Re: Amazon Prime Video Poor Video Quality
Could you please reach out to Amazon since the app is installed from your platform? Let us know what they say. The quality streaming on Roku devices continues to be an issue. Would you recommend users to move to other hardware?

Re: Amazon Prime Video Poor Video Quality
I would agree that Amazon is deiliberatly degrading video quality on competing devices to steer consumers to their FireStick. The video quality is so blatantly bad this seems the only reason. And contacting them they would just try to sell me on their device instead.

Re: Amazon Prime Video Poor Video Quality
Trying to watch fallout last night with my streaming stick 4k on prime, some really bad artifacts in the picture especially S1E05 29mins30sec see the blue shutter door. Fine on an old fire stick 4k. It's a shame.
Definitely a prime video only issue, and I'm paying extra for ad free so I get Dolby vision and Atmos.
Please fix this Roku
