I enjoy having this DVD player. I get to look at netflex anytime, now u do have to set up your netflex it should come with a wifi adapter were u can program it to your Internet router. U will need to know your password.

Confirmed. i have no idea *why* - if I access the Amazon Instant Video app on my PS3, it has the watch list. The Panasonic native Netflix app has their watch list. It's only the Panasonic native Amazon app that's broken.

Yes amazon instant video and I use it regularly. With a prime membership a lot of the content is free and shows like mad men season 5 are on there where my friend says she can't get that on Netflix yet

When I click on the amazon instant video app, it takes me to the browser page and nothing plays.

Same problem here. I have been looking into flashing the firmware on my LG BD-590 blu-ray player with the app for Amazon instant video to Netcast. Have not found anything yet. I think when a manufacturer flashes the software to the firmware chip then that is the end of it. LG just recently added Amazon to Netcast on the new models. So we may have to purchase another devise to get the Amazon Netcast app. What I have been doing to watch Amazon VOD is to use my laptop HDMI out to my HD TV. Just logon to your Amazon Prime account and watch on PC or video out to TV via HDMI if you have that capability.

I am having the same problem over a wireless connection, even though speedtest.net reports my wireless connection speed as 15Mbps. Amazon instant video is fine on my Mac over the same wireless network at the same location.

Yes, I checked the Amazon app on mine and it does have Amazon instant video.

There is no Amazon native app that I can see on it as of current firmware update. If the content you downloaded through Amazon isn't protected by any kind of DRM and is just a video file it will most likely play, this thing hasn't refused to play anything I've put in it so far. I just upload all the files to it via LAN and things play just fine.

My unit did not have a WiFi option. To load an update I placed the new update file on a USB drive (from my laptop), then plugged the USB drive into the back of the DVD player and loaded the update (power off/on). A painful process...

"Amazon Instant Video" is available out of the box....not sure if Prime can be added or not.

You cannot. No app has been written to support Amazon instant video. This model is at least 5 years old.

This set now has Amazon Instant Video as of 8/22/2013. Firmware version 04.00.20 is the one that added the Amazon app.

The RCA Wi-fi device does not allow you to stream Amazon.com movies. You can stream only Netflix, Vudu, Hulu Plus, You Tube videos, as well as Pandora music. I wish it did stream Amazon. When i want to view a movie through Amazon, I have to use my computer or my Kindle Fire device.

No. Amazon is not one of the User Interface Apps built in to the TV. However, you can purchase many blu ray players for about a hundred bucks that have Amazon Instant Video, such as my Panasonic. It's still cumbersome though

I can access it through my wireless Blu ray DVD player since it is hooked up to my computer as an external hardrive and can view home movies that I have on there. Not sure if that answers your question, but that is the only way I have used it with wireless.

Thanks, Carol. I have no idea what "prime instant video" is! Living waaaay out in the country does not allow for access to any type of streaming what-so-ever. Only purchased the unit because old DVD player died. Sorry I could not be of help. Mike
