Is Amazon Prime Instant Video turning into a cable alternative?

According to a new report, Amazon Prime Instant Video subscribers will soon be able to add TV and movie channels to their existing catalog of content, making the service into a cable rival.
The new features could go live before Christmas, say the sources, and each service available will be available from separate pages within Amazon Prime Video, so they can easily be distinguished.

It is unclear which services have partnered with Amazon but we will likely know a lot more in the near future.

I have been a prime member for over a year and have found instant video of absolutely no use whatsoever. TV and movie channels don't interest me either. I guess there are some who might enjoy it, but I am definitely not one of them.

I have been a prime member for years too. I hardly use the video service because most movies are really old and I can find them in Netflix. If they bring new and recent movies, then I may get into it but, otherwise I have no use for it. I keep my prime membership because of the shipping services I get since I purchase a lot from Amazon.

Same here. I make use of subscribe and save and order quite a bit of food and other things. They usually have the best prices for what I'm looking for.

I watch their videos whenever I do my exercise on my recumbent bike. I'm mostly into documentaries and they have a lot I like.
Plus, the free 2 day shipping is nice. I also like the book borrowing.

Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm
In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect
We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
