HD won't work on H8 or any Amazon-unsanctioned TV boxes. Same story w/Netflix.

Both companies very tightly control certification process, and especially in Amazon's case, they want you to use Fire TV box/stick for Prime/Instant HD and 4K as the idea is to lock you into their walled garden, and give you the best experience only there.

Then if you buy a Fire TV it can't do DTS and everything gets downsampled to 2CH
