Hi everyone, a quick update that Amazon has deployed a fix for this issue and this is now resolved.

Thank you for everyone's patience while we worked with Amazon to address this issue.

- Still doing it for me, it’s been 4 months without resolve at this point
- How will this solve the problem if I am watching prime thought the tv on channel 424 and not on an App. This is so annoying to have my channel changed all the time.

I agree that this is an inconvenient experience. According to our work with Amazon, making sure that all of your devices are running the latest Prime Video app should resolve the issue.
Channel 424 is not a traditional 'channel'. It is what we call a launchpoint. When you go to the channel, it opens the Prime Video application on your Optik PVR/Wireless Digital Box. However, all of your various ways of accessing Amazon/Prime Video are interconnected and they communicate with each other; this is why you can pause an episode of Jack Reacher on one device and pick up where you left off another device.
Maybe update the Amazon prime video on optik tv
