Buy or Rent Movies & TV Shows
From Fire TV Stick, you can buy, rent, and watch Amazon Instant Video movies and TV shows.
When you rent videos from Amazon Instant Video, you can watch them for a specified time period. When
you purchase videos from Amazon Instant Video, they will be accessible from Your Video Library and you
can watch them as often as you like. Movies and TV shows from third-party apps, such as Netflix and Hulu
Plus, can be accessed directly from the apps.
1. Locate the movies you want to buy or rent:
a. Browse through the categories under Movies or TV.
b. Search for a movie or TV show. There are several ways to search your Fire TV Stick:
•
Amazon Fire TV Remote: Select Search from the Home screen and use the onscreen
keyboard to enter search terms.
•
Fire TV Remote App: Open the bottom panel. Press and hold the Voice icon, drag the icon
down, and then say a title, actor name, character name, or genre. You can also tap the
Keyboard icon to use an onscreen keyboard.
•
Amazon Fire TV Voice Remote (sold separately): Press and hold the Voice button on your
remote, and then say a title, actor name, character name, or genre.
Tip: To only receive Prime Video results, add the phrase "Prime only" to a voice search. For example, say
"action movies Prime only."
2. From the search results, select a movie or TV show to view its product detail page.
Fire TV Stick will show search results from Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Showtime Anytime, and
Vevo.
3. Select Buy or Rent and follow the onscreen instructions. Your purchase is automatically charged to
your 1-Click payment method and stored in Your Video Library. If a movie or TV show is available in
another service's catalog, the app will immediately open so you can watch the content from there.
Note:
If you are an Amazon Prime member or you have a Prime Instant Video monthly subscription, you can watch
Prime Instant Video movies at no extra cost.
Some content providers may require additional authentication or subscription fees through their apps before
you can view the content.
4. Select Watch Now to immediately watch the movie or TV show from your Fire TV Stick.
Tip:
Select More Ways to Watch to see other purchase and viewing options. Amazon displays the best offer
available from Amazon, Hulu Plus, Crackle, and Showtime Anytime based on your account information and
installed apps.
Select Add to Watchlist to flag items you want to buy, rent, or watch later. These items will appear in the Your
Watchlist category in the Main Menu. Your Watchlist will only display Movies and TV shows provided directly
from Amazon.
