Hope you can help. 

Loading the Prime app and I just get a black screen with a white line at the top. 

Have tried rebooting the box and nothing changes. 

Anyone else having the same problem?

Hi, have tried all fixes possible and still can't get the amazon app to load, just a black screen with white line at top. 

Is this a v6 box problem or signal eh postcode. 

Thanks

Each time I try to start up the Amazon prime app it keeps going to a black screen with a single thin line across the top and nothing happens

My observations so far. The Amazon App works once early evening (we checked the running time on a show and left). Went back 40 minutes later, the app stopped working.

00:25 Tried the app again, not working. So I watched a show via the amazon app on my TV. Tried the virgin app again, it worked so watched the second episode of the show.

This is the same series events I have had since Monday.

I tried the Prime App this afternoon and it is still not working.

Amazon prime is now working but my telephone line along with my neighbours now isn't working, I reported this to Virgin this morning. 

Started working again for me on Sunday after I rebooted the TV box.

So the app is back, but I wouldn't say it's working. Doesn't play anything, just black screen.
