Prime Video is great for those with unlimited bandwidth. Amazon, however, unlike Netflix, doesn't allow a choice of quality and will decide for you, based on speed available, whether you should have HD or not. Netflix gives choices. When we watch Amazon Prime it takes at least 3 times the bandwidth of a similar length movie on Netflix at lowest quality, which is our choice. As with the kindle, Amazon decides what you get. If this has changed recently, I'd love to know how to choose a lower quality on Prime Video. The only way around this that we've found it is to use something like a Wii that connects to the tv without an HD cable.
