Relevant but not Amazon Prime - I looked everywhere for somewhere I could legally download Star Wars in HD to watch on a plane. But since my Surface Book apparently doesn't support HDCP, I couldn't. The best I could do was SD from the iTunes store. Eventually, I just paid the $20 somewhere, then torrented it in HD. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that should be completely impossible in 2016.
I see that Amazon Prime offline is only supported for Android and iOS, and I bet spotty HDCP support on laptops is part of that.
- djrogers 11y agoAre you seriously unable to view HD iTunes/Vudu/etc videos natively on your surface book? That seems crazy to me
- farnsworth 11y agoI can stream the videos, but not download to watch offline- I should have been more clear.
- ascagnel_ 11y agoIf you have a Surface Book, I would assume that Xbox Video (Microsoft's a la carte video offering) would have the best support for the device. Although it's stupid that a device that high-end doesn't have HDCP set up properly when it's shipped from the factory.
