Streams Netflix just fine but not Amazon?

Not sure why. I stream both with no trouble at all. When I start the player a host of streaming services come up, most I don't even recognize. I scroll to the one I want and enter.Now, in the beginning I had to set it up like you did with Netflix. Enter your password and identify your WiFi, that sort of thing. But once I did that I have had no trouble and used it just last night. Good luck

Yes. I have had a Roku for several years, and used primarily for Netflix. Now with the newer RokuHD and Amazon Prime membership, I can stream everything from Amazon that is available in excellent viewing quality.

It does not currently have an Amazon Streaming Video application. If that is important to you then perhaps take a look at the Roku 3, or any other Roku model.

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.

I don't know about Amazon Prime. I can mirror my MacBook Pro on the TV by using a cord, but for Netflix I just use an AppleTV in one of the HDMI slots and stream all day long--works great. You can also get a WiFi capable DVD player and stream to Netflix from there and also Hulu. So far as I know, you can't stream Amazon Prime to your TV unless you are connecting your computer to the TV with a cord and mirroring the screen from there....I just use my iPad if watching Amazon Prime.

I just returned my unit and got a replacement and the new unit works fine, no problems connecting to netflix. Also, my original unit didn't process the firmware upgrades because the new unit now has blockbuster and you tube on it. So it you have the chance, you might want to take it back for an exchange.

If you buy the internet adapter it should stream amazon, netflix, etc. I bought one, but it didn't work. I suggest buying a Roku instead if you want to stream. I have one, and it works extremely well.

Netflix?yes. Amazon Prime? not sure. Haven't gone thru all of it yet. It's a lot to leaf through.

No, it does stream by itself. If you want to see Amazon Prime, get Smart Blu Ray player that will stream Amazon.

Netflix is a menu option. I also connected to Amazon Prime through the TV's internet connection. Basically, anything that is accessible through the internet is accessible through the TV, however some formats are not playable, such as .mkv files. I had no problem with .avi or .mp4 formats.

VERY DISAPPOINTED to find out my Samsung C6500 Blue Ray player doesn't have the yahoo widget/amazon streaming capabilities!!! Netflix works fine for me, but their "watch now" selection is nowhere near as good as their disc mailing selection, and so I had hoped the Amazon streaming library would have more extensive. Free trial is USELESS!!!

It doesn't directly support netflix but we run a roku and use netflix and amazon prime with it.

It has apps for Netflix, Vudu, Blockbuster, but not Amazon Prime (at least not the model I purchased).

I am not seeing the ability to stream Amazon instant video. Anyone know how to do this. My old Blu Ray player kept adding channels to installation.

1. Yes, i have connected a cat 5 cable from my wireless router to my sony player and am able to surf the internet. 2. yes, it came pre~installed and was able to sign up but do not really use the service my self. even though I was successful in downloading a free movie. I really do not subscribe to netflix,I do not see any reason why it should not work if amazon video did. Crackle worked fine for me. Hulu is a subscription service like netflix and unfortunately I do not have any intention of paying for these services.

I am not sure if amazon video is compatible. There are many apps to choose from to stream video. I use Netflix. The picture quality is at least as good as DVD when streaming. However, I find that Netflix has a lot of issues. I will need to sign back in, it will not load and then at least every 3 months you have to update the Blu-ray player. Other streaming Blu-ray players seem to have the same issues.If you are going to mainly stream video, I would recommend buying something else. This is fine for occasional use but can cause many headaches.
