Amazon Prime costs about £70, gives you access to the old Lovfilm stuff an a lot of new material. It also gives you free next day delivery on many items. You can give this to 3 (I think) "family members") Charge them£33 each, and you're laughing...
If you have HDMI ports on your tv, it is worth looking at the Google Chromecast.

How does one know if you have these ports???
look along the side of your telly - they look like this:

Does it have to be Amazon Prime? Would Sky Movies meet your requirements?

If your TV has an HDMI socket you could get a NOW TV Box. (There is actually a way to use it without an HDMI socket but things can get rather complicated!). The box costs £14.99 in Argos and that includes your first two months access to Sky Movies. (If purchasing, take care to select the correct package as their are alternative 'Entertainment' and 'Sky Sports' passes available):

Thereafter you pay £9.99 per month. (There's no contract. If you decide that you no longer want the service you simply stop paying). There are over 1000 movies to choose from, with 16 premières added each month.

As well as Sky Movies you'll get other 'smart' features as well (which will continue working even if you decide not to pay for Sky Movies in future). They include apps that let you watch catchup TV (BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD & Demand5) and Youtube, as well as accessing radio stations from across the world.
