Still no amazon instant video for this model ?

Scott Favell, No, unfortunately. Amazon Instant Video was not released for the "D" 2011 Samsung LED models by Amazon. Here are a list of devices that support the Amazon Instant Video App, including some Blu-Ray players and Home Theater systems. http://www.samsung.com/us/appstore/app/G00009411006-compatible --Mr. S

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).

I'm like you, I bought mine back in July strictly for Netflix capability. FWIW, it's been working flawlessly since July on the earlier versions. Its just this latest (1.43) that screwed it up. I even tried installing an earlier working firmware version (1.27) by downloading off their support website where you burn it to a CD, put it in the tray and install directly. The unit comes back and says "Cannot install firmware. The unit has a more current version installed than the disc you are trying to use". So now, we're stuck until the fix comes.

I have this unit and just bought membership to Amazon prime but can't get the icon. Do I have to buy a new blue ray to get my Amazon to download ?

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.

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

Rory Craft, Yes, The Amazon Instant Video App is available on this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung Blu-Ray players. --Mr. S

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.

I was wondering that myself. I pre-ordered this one about a month ago (at that time it was a ridiculous $319.99) and I'm trying to be patient as I wait. I e-mailed them, noting that Vizio had them available now, and they said there is no known release date for Amazon. If anyone knows when it will be available it'd certainly help ease my anticipation

I have found the same problem, after 8 hours of samsung UN46D7000 tv vs amazon instant video! At least I can stop pulling out my hair trying to make it work. Ya think they could just send the frickn' app the tv with all the other crap on there we will never use.

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.

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

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.

Sunora W.,This model does not have the Amazon Instant Video App available. However, many Samsung Blu-Ray players have apps, including the Amazon Instant Video option. If you're in the market for a new player, consider one that has Amazon included. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

amazon instant video works on the chrome box. I haven't noticed any chopiness, the video is clear. There was an update to chrome that made it so amazon instant video didn't work for about a week though, but other than that, it's been working well.

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.
