Can I use this device to get Amazon live streaming? How do I do this?

I don't know about live streaming but we do watch Amazon videos and Amazon prime videos on our Roku.

Yes, Amazon is one of the "channels" that you can select on RoKu. You have to have an Amazon account. A "Prime" account will let you play the Prime Content for no additional charge.

Yes, all you have to do is added it from the list of available services and register it; however, as I pointed out, this device does not work well. It will at first, then start to lock up, it's just not worth it!!!

yes. works very well for streaming Netflix movies, I have not tried it with Amazon but don't see why that would be any different.

Yes you can, we actually connected our desktop up to it permanently for streaming videos from Netflix and Amazon Prime. We also stream from network tv websites and the NFL. We initially used a laptop or our kids Playstation to stream stuff, all worked great. Keep in mind streaming is dependent on your internet speed as far as quality is concerned. If you get a lot of buffering/stalling while streaming blame your internet connection, not the TV. I hope that helps. By the way, I've had the TV for almost a year now and still recommend it.

No. You will need to add an Internet device such as Roku to hook up to Amazon Prime.

yes you can stream Amazon, Net Flix, Hulu +, and most other services that provide streaming videos. It is a great player and well worth the money especially with foreign made DVD's

You can now watch Amazon Prime Videos through Amazons app. Download there app and navigate to a prime instant video. It will then prompt you to download their player. Streams fine, but cannot download the videos like you can on a fire tablet.

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.

You would have to connect an external box like amazon fire, google chromecast or roku player to the HDMI input.

I am not sure that you can. There are some streaming sites that are only set up for computer use, and maybe not for this player. The "channels" that you can get are already preprogramed on it, like Amazon Prime, Netflix and Vudu, along with many others. I would check on the Sony site for questions and their trouble shooting knowledge base for this player. I would also check the website that you are trying to stream and see if they have any information on if what you can stream it on.

Natively, Amazon Prime Instant Videos require Adobe Flash Player installed on the tablet, which is not available on Android tablets like this Acer. Kindle Fire and iPads are supported. There are several free apps which state that they can stream Amazon Instant Videos; however I have not found one that works. I just unsuccessfully tried the free "Can I Stream It" app. If you are adventuresome the following link will supposedly step you through how to install and run Flash on an Android tablet - http://www.teleread.com/amazon/how-to-stream-amazon-instant-videos-on-a-nexus-7-or-other-android-tablet/. If running Amazon Instant Video on a tablet is important to you, I suggest that you get an Apple iPad instead.

Yes, it has the amazon Prime app for streaming videos. There is a button on the remote for that.

Yes you can, also Hulu, Netflix and Amazon. I have had no problem streaming these.

two of my sisters have that TV and yes Amazon Prime Instant Video will stream through it but there is no application inside the TV. you have to use a blu ray dvb, Apple streamer or Ruko but it will look beautiful

I have never used it with Amazon Prime. There are a number of apps thru which you r able to stream or purchase for permanent download to your device. I use my device strictly for download and storage purposes. As well I can stream from other media devices on my network.

not sure what you are asking here. if you mean could you use a streaming box from those services or a HTPC, jack it into the reciever and be golden, then 100% yes does it hook into the internet and stream those services itself, then no

The device does not have a browser and the unit does not have Amazon as one of it's streaming video options. So, you cannot stream video from Amazon. However, it does have a usb port on the front of the unit that will allow you to play anything that is plugged into it. So, there are ways to save the video to a flash drive and then plug the flash drive into the usb port on the wd live. That's what I do.

Yes. I do not use the streaming. It's more about gaming quality and speed. Try to think of the device as a console rather then just another android tablet.
