Discussion Amazon Prime Video India five device limit now has 2 TV restriction

[Sivabhaskar]

Starting January 2025, Amazon will reduce the number of TVs that can access (simultaneously, I guess?) the Prime Video app to 2 (from 5, I guess again?), even for the 1499 plan that I have.

Meaning, only 2 TVs. The remaining 3 should be non TV devices.

This move could of course, be related to their other move of introducing advertisements to the 1499 plan (read thread linked below).

The current Prime membership fee remains the same for the ad-supported version. Prime Lite subscribers will continue to see ads. Changes aim to invest in engaging content.

Already they're loosing customers to Netflix because most of the hit movies are now in Netflix. This will further reduce people subscribing to Prime.

But netflix is still costlier. Amazon prime is better with atleast free delivery option

When given the option, majority of people subscribe to Netflix. Because it's more accessible at ₹149 (cheaper entry point). Versus ₹1499/year or ₹299/month for Prime. This is what I realized from my friends and family. They rather pay ₹149 whenever they want than shell out ₹1499 at once. And when I ask them about the quality (480p), all of them say that they didn't even realize it's 480p, and that it felt good enough.

Till today, I never found a person who has Amazon Prime subscription. (Everyone contacts me when they want free delivery. I earn cashback. )

May be at your own consideration netflix is cheaper and better option.
When it comes to collection of south Indian movies and free delivery, next day delivery i still consider prime is cheaper than netflix.
I am kind of person who make purchase of even a smaller items from Amazon with next day free delivery option.
I also earn cash back as well since i use Amazon pay icici card which gives 5% cashback for prime users.
Amazon will be much cheaper if you can buy from OTT aggregators like tata play binge etc

It seems you didn't understand my post at all.
I am not talking about value for money here. For me also Prime is better and cheaper. That's only for folks like you and me. Most people's thinking is not like that. One fine night they'll think of watching something and check which one will be cheaper for me "right now". And then subscribe to whatever is the cheapest.

The only headache is of monthly subscription getting auto renewed every month unless you cancel it. I prefer apps like SplitSub for this. It's someone else's headache while I am also paying less.
