Well, Prime Video for Apple TV is here, it works, except that I cannot get subtiles ! This is a big let down for me. However, checking the supported devices on Amazon site, subtiles are supposed to be supported on Apple TV (can be checked here) I tried rebooting the Apple TV to no effect. I checked "Menu > Settings > Apps" but the app is not even listed, there are no Prime Video specific settings, none! Within the app, there is a "Settings" tab, but nothing there concerning the hardware device being used. So if subtiles are supported on Apple TV, HOW do we get them?

    Cons
    • Limited by HomeKit
    • Without proper placement, sun can skew metrics
    - Not sure what “limited BY HomeKit” means here, but for me, limited to HomeKit is not a Con. If a device is exclusively HomeKit, it brings me peace of mind, a big PRO!

    - Exposure to sun, or any radiant heat for that matter, affects ALL thermometers (with arguably the exception of infra-red thermometers). 
    So it shouldn’t be a Con, mentioned as a side note maybe, no more.

    If there’s something users should avoid doing, it’s important to spell out exactly what they should not do !
    Don’t hang around escort websites. 
    Don’t install software from anywhere except the official App Store. 
    Sorry, your answer is besides my point, and actually inaccurate IMHO. 

    I get from wonkothesane that the thing one should not do is to first accept a request to download an app, followed by some actions in Settings to positively trust the developper. 

    As long as one doesn’t do that, one can visit escort sites all they wish with no side-loading happening. Risk of malware embedded in the code remain, maybe, but that’s different from side-loading. 
    Please anyone correct me if I misunderstood the technical side of it.

    The article would have provided a better service to the reader with a section explaining/reminding side-loading since not everybody is familiar with the enterprise environment.

    “... And yes, side-loading means installing an app outside of th e App Store. Here you find some details: https://searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com/opinion/Did-you-know-how-easy-it-is-to-sideload-iOS-apps-to-your-iPhone

    Basically, whenever you encounter the request to side-load an app outside of of your company’s enterprise device management...”
    Thanks for your technically informative answer, and especially for providing that link !!

    I never encountered such thing on iOS. 
    I always thought that the apps distributed via enterprise certificates only concerned iOS devices specially configured by the IT department of a company, and it’s not something I have paid much attention to.

    Would be really useful here to explain, or remind,  what “side-load” precisely implies in the context of iOS.
    I guess I knew but forgot...

    Installing some software outside of the app store? And if so, how is that accomplished?

    If there’s something users should avoid doing, it’s important to spell out exactly what they should not do !

    $219??

    Following the Amazon link, I see a $299 price, not $219 as anounced in the article  (As of 12/15 9:20pm CST)

    Typo?... or did I miss the boat on a good deal?

    The $20 coupon is there though. 

    I was going to buy, but now I wonder...
    Can anybody clarify what happened? Thanks!
