I just watched Season 1 on Netflix and was devastated to find that they don't have the next two seasons. We have Amazon Prime, and while Season 2 pops up as free if you have Prime, when I actually click on it, it appears that I have to purchase it.

Am I doing something wrong, or will I actually have to purchase it?

TIA!!

I would call Amazon directly if you can't get in even if you ste signed into your prime account. You could also check Craigslist or EBay for seasons 2 and 3 used if you can't get the prime thing to work. Also check and see if your library has it. The new season won't start until Jan., 2014 so you have some time.

I watched it by renting the DVDs from the library (free).

I'm not sure about Downton on Amazon Prime. My coworker ran into the same problem.

FWIW, though, Netflix has seasons 2 and 3 on DVD just not on streaming.

We only have streaming through Netflix. I didn't even think of the library - will have to check!

I hate dealing with amazon :-(

Just an FYI I can't get it to work on my iPhone 4S now. I was able to watch one ep. of Gossip Girl, but since then nada. Any tricks?

That's strange about Amazon. I watched Season 2 for free through Prime just a couple months ago.

Are you trying to transfer it to your TV, OP? You can't do that with Prime. You have to watch in streaming. So, on your computer, iPad, or if you can stream Amazon through your TV.

I believe the site is flash based, so, won't work on ipads and iphones.

I just checked prime and it's free. I already have it downloaded so I can't try it again to explain how to do it... just wanted to encourage you to try again. If I have time later I will try a different show and send you instructions. We watch it through our Roku or Wii on our TV.
