Boxee Box &amp; Amazon Video Demand &amp; Netflix. Will we be able to have access to Amazon Video Demand and Netflix?

Been a Prime member for years and a Boxee VOD app would certainly incite me to keep my prime membership going. C'mon Amazon, I can watch Netflix/Hulu + in my kitchen, back bedroom, family room and master bedroom via PS3's and Boxee Box. But I can only watch Amazon VOD via my Roku in family room?? Doesn't make sense why an app hasn't been developed for Boxee Box and PS3's. If there is a reason Amazon, your Prime Members would LOVE to hear it....... Signed, Spoiled Rotten by Netflix/Hulu+

I don't think so - but i'm still learning about the device. I think it is pretty limited now, as compared to the prior Boxee box device.

Yes, you can download the Amazon appstore from the browser if you go to mommy or daddy mode. Then you can install Netflix from the appstore.

Sorry to split hairs, but the server issues are on Netflix's end. Netflix has had server issues since they upgraded the interface the first week of June (they've since stopped rolling it out to all users). It seems to only happen during prime viewing hours though. If you are having problems with services other than netflix and at odd hours I'd look for another problem, either with the roku box itself, your router, or your ISP. I haven't experienced problems with other services but I don't use Amazon on Demand. There may be a correlation between netflix and amazon as I read netflix migrated to Amazon's servers. Try some of the other channels to determine if it's a problem with anything else (nasa tv? pandora? etc). Netflix's engineers are struggling to find the correct content to display on their main screen without overloading the servers, it changes almost daily. I expect they'll get it resolved soon but it's been a bad couple weeks for them. For more information check rokulab's user forum: http://forums.rokulabs.com/viewforum.php?f=28

All you need to do is download the Amazon App and then log in. On my TV the amazon app was not pre-installed like the Netflix app was.

It has Netflix. It is about the only thing we use. It also has amazon prime and you tube. It may have hulu. We don't use that service.

No. Netflix & Vudu for online services. (Also, I may be wrong if Amazon prime will load movies into your Vudu account).

I haven't tried Amazon, but suddenly my ability to get Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, etc. has disappeared. I have talked with Netflix & with my internet provider...they concluded it's the tv. I've seen the problem in online forums. They say to reset the tv back to factory settings. But I'm going to call Vizio & see if they can walk me through it.

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.

Another voice requesting an Amazon Video/music app for Boxee Box. It would be great to have Boxee Box added to the list of devices compatible with Amazon Instant Video: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200775230#instantvideoKindle firePlease?

We've access netflix & Amazon prime by pressing VIA on the remote. Have't tried to access other websites, but bet it is thru there.

No. once you buy the box, you own it without further fees. however, there are some channels that require paying a subscriber or one-time fee. For example, to stream netflix, you will need to subscribe and pay a monthly fee. The same applies to Hulu+. To access Amazon Prime Membership movies, you need to subscribe to Amazon Prime for about $80. However, there are many channels that are free that you can access on Roku and some which only require a one-time minimal fee of about $3.

MY PROBLEM EXACTLY. I even deactivated netflix and activated it again (got a different code this time, since I am 99% sure my first one began with an Z and this one did not). I also reset to fatory defaults, and no luck either. I was on the phone with Amazon's "help" and it was totally useless. All they would do is read the same webpage over and over again to me. I am convinced the guy on the other end didn't even know what video demand was (from the questions I asked).

Amazon Video is one of the apps. With my Amazon Prime membership I am able to watch 'free with Prime' titles, and rent others for cash (I have not done so).

I don't think you're missing anything. The reason why I purchased Netflix is the CC feature. I wrote to Amazon about their lack of CC capabilities a year or so ago and all I received was a confirmation that CC was not available. This is unconscionable. There is a new law, however, that is going to require all electronic video devices to include CC by the year 2015. Hopefully, Amazon rectifies this glaring flaw before then.

I truly hate when people provide uninformative, useless answers to questions. YES, it will let you watch Amazon Prime movies, including the free movies and TV shows available from the Amazon Prime subscription: I know, I use it. The built-in Primetime app integrates Netflix and Amazon (and Google Play videos and Redbox and your cable/satellite TV) into one app that is really a pretty nice way to see everything you have available through one app.

Ours did, we took the offer but left after the two months were up, not that great! Netflix is better but now we are liking Amazon Prime. Planning to DQ Netflix soon.
