Amazon Prime Video worth it?

[Lupus]

Any reason why a particular series would suddenly be unavailable? Been watching CSI for the last couple of weeks and today it has disappeared without trace...

Licensing, regional rights

I got their help desk on chat, the response was that ''video availability depends on the agreements with content owners''.

Which effectively means you can lose access to any content at any stage I guess.

Welcome to streaming, sadly this is what the world wanted.

Ja, it's a double whammy. First we lost Netflix on the Lit box, so we switched to Prime. Now CSI is dead and gone, wife is cheesed off...

I think your first mistake was relying on something from Telkom.

That was indeed a blunder, I can't even offer a defense for that

1. Sub to service(s)
2. Substitute with linux isos
3. Win

That said after setting up a sub for showtime I could not help but laugh at their offering. Sub was for dexter new blood and hopefully something else, but everything else I've already seen via hbo/netflix.

Well, today was the day I signed up and I found that the movie I wanted is currently not available. Not cool.

You're not alone - I got one when I signed a VDSL contact - I needed the modem at the time.
