Yes, I just picked one up yesterday and am getting the same error..... Going am about 85% ready to return and get another TV and ROKU.

I haven't had any problems myself. Has your TV been updated to the latest firmware?

I just got off the phone with Amazon support and was told the the app for the M470i-A2 was in development and has not been released yet. I was told that I would receive an email when the app for the tv has been released. It sounded like this applies to most or all 2014 Vizio tv's.

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.

For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video. If you look at the history of questions on this device, or Google for information, you'll find quite a few frustrated with this. You can't get it as a "Yahoo Widget" (2009-2010 models only) and the Samsung App is only available on 2012 models and later. I was just looking for it today out of curiosity (I was updating the PLEX app) and was sad to see it isn't there. I have many other options, but it does seem obnoxious that they can't fix this minor detail, when Netflix and other Samsung Apps seem to work fine on this TV.

I can't say I remember seeing Amazon Video On Demand as one of the apps in the device. Will update when I get home.

Mine is up to date, but I see no app for Amazon. I don't need it because my Vizio TV does access Amazon.

You should be able to stream Amazon video if you access it using Chrome browser. Otherwise, try sideloading Adobe flash version that's a generation older. That has worked with my Android tablets.

stopped working for me too. I bet the xmas spike caused their servers to fall over. has anyone figured out how to skip the viera cast screen and just go direct to Amazon VOD? hey Amazon, if you're reading this, ask your OEM partners to include a VOD button that skips their crappy software and goes direct to Amazon.

You can try relaunching the iPad application (Netflix, whatever) - have sometimes had to disconnect and reconnect cable to get working but always did. Oh it won't work with Amazon Prime Video! They block it!

Yes, it does have Amazon instant video app installed into TV. Personally I found the OS on the TV to be to slow to use enjoyably and just bought one of the Amazon sticks which works great.

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.

No. I called Panasonic, and the technician said that Amazon could not be added to the list of video services for this model. I sent it back.

My Roku 2 HD will not accept software update...have tried about 20 times. I can no longer access my Amazon Instant Video. Strange that my older Roku XD has updated and runs the new software for Amazon just fine!

No it is not compatible with Amazon instant video. I even contacted support to see if they have plans to for one more update to eliminate the coming soon box you can see in the photo I uploaded. Click the tab below the image that says to "see all 6 customer images". Customer support just ignored this. No more LG customer allegiance from me, time to try out visio.

Why can't I get "closed caption" on my Vizio tv when watching streaming movies from Amazon?

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.

After speaking to Vizio I waited a few days for an update of my tv and Hulu was available. However, it would not load. Hulu support advised me to delete most of my queue and it worked. As long as I only keep a few shows (10-20) in my queue I can use the app. Hulu said they were working on the issue and hoped a fix would be soon.

Make sure you download and install the "Amazon for Tablets" THEN download and install the "Amazon Prime Instant Video". By the way, get the apps from the Amazon.Com site because when I tried to get from the Google App Store, they wouldn't install.

I had the exact same problem with mine. Go to Vizio.com and download the latest wifi driver then install it. It fixed the problem completely for me.
