How do you get the free movies to show on your tv. I am not tech savy at all. So this question may appear to be very funny for many.

My DH has really gotten in to watching some series they have on Prime and there are all kinds of movies.
I got a new Roku Premiere+, NOT a stick, last November for my main tv and it is hardwired from pc to Roku to tv. Have been using it with Netflix since then, so all is hooked up and running well. Just need to know how to have Roku talk to Prime and watch something on the tv.

Now I have tried to register my Roku for Prime but I do not know all the 'language' terms needed to do anything. Is there a way to call Amazon and talk to a person who can walk me through this.

No one I know has a Roku or Prime to deal with. Have been on a lot of Amazon pages and still getting nowhere. Will see if my computer guy has any information, am so frustrated.
I use the computer to email CA relative, find recipes, do some research and of course the QB.
You are lucky to have your DH to do these things for you.

I really love Prime, both for the free shipping as well as for shopping. I buy toilet tissue and paper towels by the case even though there are just the 2 of us. It is cheaper tha at the market. You do have to watch the prices but most times Amazon is competitive. I even sometimes buy cereal. I often use the Subscribe and Save option to save even more. You can always cancel your subscription after your first shipment. I need to look into the options for books more as I think you can borrow some for free.
