Now, Many/most offerings on Amazon Prime, are slow to download and/or kick me back to the Roku home screen at about half-hour into the show. Loading back to the program to "resume" takes me to a scene 4 or 5 minutes earlier. the remainder of the program usually plays through until about 2 minutes before the end---then it kicks me out again, and sometimes treats that as a "finished" broadcast (ie, no thanks to capture that last 3 or 4 minutes). Most frustrating!!!! And definitely an Amazon Prime issue, as no other streaming services have any difficulty with my equipment. Hoping for a reply/fix sooner instead of later."
