    Wow, a few items here:

    1. Had anyone heard of it?
    2. IMDb is apparently owned by Amazon?
    3. IMDB had a streaming service?

      Biggest way I knew of them was the Alex rider tv show. It was released on Freevee

      Edit: been a fan of Alex rider since I read the books when I was younger.

        I knew about this, but as a Prime Original. I guess it was put out on Freevee later?

      It used to be imdbtv.

      I guess you don’t need an ad supported TV app when prime video also has adverts now 😞

      1. I learned about it when I subscribed to Amazon Prime Video and learned I can watch all the classic Mario Bros cartoon from the late 80s. Honestly, the whole Prime Video is chaos. Even though I got Prime for free, I would not pay for it.

      2. Yeah. It’s so bad now!

      3. This one surprised me.

      It was a PITA to find because as always the Amazon Prime Video interface is 1000% trash however I can confirm that the Nickelodeon 24x7 TMNT cartoon channel is there. It’s currently playing “Venice on the Half Shell”.

    Does this mean I’ll finally be able to delete the app they forcibly installed on my Fire tablet without my permission?
