Amazon offers several Prime Video Channels which can be purchased as addons for your Amazon Prime membership. While these channels are available in the Prime Video app on BlueCurve TV, they are only part of Prime Video, and are not integrated into your Shaw bill or Shaw TV services.
Similarly, if you subscribe to a channel from Shaw that's also a Prime Video Channel, that does not make it available in Prime Video.
Billing for Prime Video Channels is handled by Amazon as part of your Prime membership.
