Anyone use Amazon Streaming?

For a year now I had Prime which includes free shipping and one day, two for a small fee, great deal hun? Well Prime Video is good if you like OLD movies 80's 90's. Theres a special section for Prime Video at the streaming site. What I thought when I first got it was it also included ALL the new releases, WRONG!!! just the old stuff. If you purchase a lot of things off Amazon that are under $25 this is the program for you otherwise it ain't worth it because frankly speaking the movies suck! This ain't no Netflix!!! I hope this was a help. PS: I cancel my membership in nov...Added this on Dec 30 2011: After pricing out all the buying I would do on Amazon, I kept the Prime and I'm happy I did. Back in Nov, I had no idea I was going to also purchase a 42" Toshiba 3D HDTV along with many different electronic things. After calulating shipping cost, I came way ahead with Prime. As for Prime Video, I did find some good stuff. The $79 this time was well worth it!

P.Hogan.. how do you stream BBC Acorn, Netflix and Amazon on your TV without going through a Blu-Ray or a Tivo?

I have streamed video from Amazon as a Prime member. It was free and worked well. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember the details. Right now I'm using Netflix and the kindle fire to video stream to a large TV with an HDMI cable which works great.

It works well with Amazon prime....in fact BETTER than my Roku box. Roku has "buffering" from time to time, never saw that with this. But it does not have the advertised Flixster support, so beware.

I do not believe the TiVo line currently supports Amazon Prime (and there's no given timeline or if they will even support it). Especially now with Amazon's "Fire" streaming box, i would doubt that AP streaming would come to the TiVo.

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.

I know it supports the Amazon system, Netflix, and I believe it also supports Red Box streaming, but I wouldn't swear to it. Seems to work well, but a trick I have learned is if you have a problem with discs not loading correctly or any function not working, unplug the unit then plug it back in and it seems to reprogram it to function good as new. Strange, but it relies heavily on being controlled by the remote, and it will occasionally seem to be confused on the function. By unplugging it this seems to solve the issue and it hasn't been a problem as a result. I have it plugged into a rack system with many other stereo and video components so that might be what is causing it.

Of course it can be used with Amazon Prime movie streaming. Just feed it a modern device like Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, or any number of modern Blu-Ray players with "Smart" built-in Apps allowing it. Your 2004 Panny Plasma does not have those features built-in to it.

Yes, this Sony Blu-ray player will allow you to stream videos on Amazon Prime. Other online services are Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Vudu, Crackle and many more. -Ely

Yes, the Amazon app is the same app for all of the Roku player Models (Both the previous models and the third gen, or as Roku is calling them Roku 2s). Prime is available if you pay the ~$79 a year for the service.Without Prime, you can still rent Amazon VOD to rent or buy Movies or TV shows. I use Amazon VOD myself on the Roku. There is a section in the Amazon App (Channel) on the Roku for Prime users (I don't use prime but the button is there regardless).

This is one of the only cons I have found so far with this TV, is the lack of an amazon app.I use my PS3 to stream amazon to the tv though and that works fine.Roku, Playstation, Xbox, some DVD players, etc would be able to remedy this.

Yeah, I'm stuck using Netflix + Vudu despite being an Amazon junkie. Would love to watch Amazon movies on one of my devices (xbox 360, boxee, apple tv), but none of them support it. Come on Amazon. Kindle rules because it works on every device, why isn't Amazon video the same?

Yup!! I have a Prime account and tested it out as soon as I hooked it up! So now I can watch my Amazon movies, Netflix, crackle (which is free) and a couple others (although we use it mainly for the Netflix and Amazon). Works great! Easy to hook up and program. Give it a whirl! I'm going to get 3 more for our other sets and kill the cable bill!

Have not used the set with streaming, but works fine using HDMI with television. Sorry.

No. It doesn't stream Amazon prime, however I stream directly from my PS3. Lord points out some other alternatives as well. The software is somewhat slow and buffers simultaneously on some apps (Such as YT & Google...) However Netflix streams flawlessly & it's energy efficient.
