We have Prime. We use it with our Roku. We find movies and tv shows that fit our tastes. Plus we are not big tv watchers anyway.
We are planning to drop the cable ($150+ per month) and go to internet tv. Even at the cost of $3-$6 per movie that will still be cheaper than cable and/or satellite. We will get a bigger variety of our preferences to choose from. Plus NO COMMERCIALS!!!
As for the personal info the app wants...that seems similar to most phone apps. Using the Roku on the tv bypasses all that. You would probably still need the app if you want to watch tv on your phone but we could never figure out why anyone would watch tv on such a small devise! The 50" tv is really the only way to go in our opinion.
