amazon vod on lg bd670: Will someone please confirm if it is there and how to get it working?

It has Amazon VOD. The player didn't originally have it, which might be why the specs don't mention it. But, don't worry. The latest software update for the player includes 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.

Same with my 47lw5600 tv. No solution, no solution likely because LG discontinues support for all products after about 12 months (when they move to next year's model). I think I will get a Roku in the future since they sell their product to work as a streaming device.

nope. there is another discussion here with more painful details. we all need to barrage amazon & LG with requests to get this added to the LG netcast menu on our BD 570http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-available-members-anyone-current/forum/Fx39AEMQ23EM4O/TxQ2CA5TF3K7QZ/1/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B0036WT1RW&cdMSG;=addedToThread&cdSort;=newest&newContentID;=Mx1K6MT4VGH4CNH&newContentNum;=45 nope. there is another discussion here with more painful details. we all need to barrage amazon & LG with requests to get this added to the LG netcast menu on our BD 570http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-available-members-anyone-current/forum/Fx39AEMQ23EM4O/TxQ2CA5TF3K7QZ/1/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B0036WT1RW&cdMSG;=addedToThread&cdSort;=newes... » Read More nope. there is another discussion here with more painful details. we all need to barrage amazon & LG with requests to get this added to the LG netcast menu on our BD 570http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-available-members-anyone-current/forum/Fx39AEMQ23EM4O/TxQ2CA5TF3K7QZ/1/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B0036WT1RW&cdMSG;=addedToThread&cdSort;=newest&newContentID;=Mx1K6MT4VGH4CNH&newContentNum;=45 « Show Less

What about amazon video. This is really frustrating as I continue to wait as all of my Sony products stream Amazon without a hitch.

The issue, as I understand it, is that for some odd reason, according to Amazon, Samsung decided to leave off the App Amazon uses for their Video-On-Demand (VoD) service. What's messed up is that the 2009, 2010, and 2012 TV's allow Amazon's VoD service, but the 2011 sets don't. I called Samsung and they confirmed this, but blames Amazon. On the other hand Amazon blames Samsung.Hope that answers your question.

I've never been able to get Amazon Prime on my Samsung blu ray. Could be wrong but I don't think it's available.

Huh? One of the answers, below, says that "there is no Amazon on Samsung products, only SONY and Panasonic." Nope. Untrue. I own two Samsung TVs, and both have Amazon Instant Video on them. I do not currently own a Samsung player (I'm considering this one to play Region2 disks, like "Blake's Seven" which has never, ever been released to the US market). FYI, at present, while virtually every Samsung TV ever put out supports Amazon Instant Video... only two models of BD players do. Blu-ray Player Manufacturer and Model Year Samsung BD-F5900 2013 Samsung BD-F7500 2013 So, the answer is... THIS device will not provide Amazon Instant Video (at present, at least).

Just got off the phone w/ LG tech support and they confirmed that you have to manually set the box to 720p (or presumably 1080i) when you want to use youtube, your own media, and netflix. This seems to be an issue w/ the latest firmware, b/c it was working w/ *auto* before the update. Pushed the tech person to understand how silly this is, but got nowhere. My goodness, just set the output to 720p or 1080i when streaming any of the services that can't support 1080p. Hopefully a new firmware update will be forthcoming.

Am told there is a software update but can't verify for sure. I get my prime video content frome my blu-ray.

Wade C.,Amazon Instant Video's app is not available on that model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

HEY FRANK: Dont think you are crazy. Adobe pulled its support for Amazon Unbox videos and the like. So, you simply wont be able to play your videos over your Asus until Amazon finds a way to patch or come up with a ew system of allowing people like you and I to watch the videos we have purchased. It licks balls because if you cant watch movies over it, whats the point, right? I have been assured that Amazon is working on this and will have a fix sooner than later. Until then, I either just watch stuff on Hulu or Youtube or, watch the stuff you have on Amazon at home over your Toshiba like I do.

I have not succeeded in setting up Amazon Video directly on this set. Instead, I set up Amazon Video on my connected TIVO. Also, some modern BluRay players, and other streaming devices like ROKU can access Amazon Video. Sorry if this is not much help.

I called their customer service on 12/22/12 and was told that LG is working on the App software for amazon instant video for my 47lm7600 model. The impression I got from the conversation was that most if not all of the smart tv's will have this updated in the future. He couldn't tell me exactly when. Right now this feature isn't available on any LG tv if I understood him correctly.

Thanks R. Oxhorn and Noaxtogrind. You asked and answered my question. Just got the Samsung BD5700 for a gift and hope Samsung does update the Blu-ray to access Amazon's streaming.

Would love for this to happen. Browsing through the "Ask & Answer" section on LG site (http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM6700-led-tv), it looks like the app for Amazon VOD was excluded based on decision made by Amazon, not LG. That's really disappointing. I don't want to have to buy Roku to enjoy HD streaming for service I'm already paying... sigh...
