How to Download and Use Amazon Prime Video on Sky Q Boxes

Amazon Prime Video is now made available across the UK and Europe through Sky Q digital receivers. Amazon users can now install the Prime Video app directly on their Sky Q streaming device without the need for another tool or complicated setup.

With this move, Amazon Prime Video is joining Netflix and Disney Plus on Sky Q TV boxes. It also makes the Sky Q satellite receivers into one-stop home entertainment centers for subscribers to access all their streaming needs in addition to broadcast content.

The dedicated Amazon Prime Video streaming app on Sky Q supports 4K and HDR content. This feature is similar to Netflix and Disney Plus, which are already available on the platform for some time. However, you will need to have an HDR-compatible Sky Q box to enjoy the feature. Additionally, your TV should be able to handle the HLG HDR format via the HDMI port to take full advantage of this feature.

It is also important to note that the Amazon Prime Video app on Sky Q boxes does not support the HDR10+ or the Dolby Vision premium formats.
