Stumped, The Prime Video app on the Vizio TV certainly doesn't allow for HD streaming. My Fire TV box gen 2 definitely does, but not the Vizio TV. SD streamed to a HD TV looks like garbage. The old VGA TV sets handled low resolution SD very well, but HD TVs cannot display it well at all. As far as renting/purchasing videos, Amazon charges more for HD than SD quality, so it makes no sense that they would block out HD from so many devices, yet they do.
I'm not surprised either.

I can get HD thru the Amazon app on my Tivo, but it's a recent model. It's ridiculous that they won't let you pay for better quality. I would much rather watch HD on my Samsung tablet because the screen is way better than the Fire "HD" tablets.
