Why does the LG LM8600 say it does not have Amazon Instant Video? I have Amazon Prime &amp; of course want to watch movies &amp; series from my watchlist.

I believe because Amazon an LG did not negotiate for that access. It has quick connect for Netflix, Hulu, and any others. LG also offers rentals in 2d and 3d simu;iar to Blockbuster vdeo rentals. I believe you ca connect via the internet "google"; I do not have Amazon Prime. I go to the internet just like I would from my computer. I suggest you send Amazon your question-I find them to be very resourceful and helpful..

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.

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.

Hello L. Lyons. Unfortunately this Blu-Ray Player (the VBR220) doesn't support Amazon Instant Video. So far as I can tell it only supports Netflix and Vudu.

The best answer tp your question is to go to Amazon prime and see if it can be directed to your LG. I think it can with the right app but I have never tried to do it myself. I just stream on my Laptop. good luck.

No, I've had mine for most of the year. It came with an Amazon icon on the premium tab, along with Netflix, Vudu, etc. When you clicked on the Amazon icon a screen message popped up explaining that Amazon would be available in a future update. A month or so later I got a message about updating the firmware and let it do that. After that there was no longer any Amazon icon at all. There has been two more updates since then and still no Amazon Prime. There is probably a conflict between LG and Amazon since they both want to sell content and apps.

I am having the same issue. I check the network connection and it is fine. I can pick a movie in the Netflix app so I am connected to Netflix. I contacted Netflix and they gave me a list of lg blu ray players that they said LG provided them and this is not one of them. I've also contacted LG to see what their response is but I haven't gotten a response yet. Has anyone used Netflix with this blu ray player? If so, how did you activate it?

I try to manage my Favorites from my computer and use that. But unfortunately that can be a mess on the LG. I only have 29 items on my Favorites list. Yet on the LG, some of them do not appear at all, while others appear without any name. And some just won't load. I keep checking for updates, but nothing. And this is nearly a year after this TV was released. I like my TV, but my experience with Netcast in general suggests that LG doesn't plan to enhance it at all. They really need to add Amazon VOD and improve YouTube.

Amazon instant videos? I'm 62 and still trying to figure out how to stream Netflix. (I have, by the way!) Better check with someone else. Good luck!

That's a trick question, yes it will play amazon instant video from a device that has the amazon instant video service, but this TV - by itself, does not have Amazon instant video. It is not a "Smart" TV. No apps whatsoever.

In order to use the Amazon Instant Video on this TV you have to have a router to send your internet signal to the TV. On the remote is a blue 'smart' button to use to access the streaming video etc. The button brings up a lot of choices and one of them is Amazon. Go to that button and it will ask you to log in to your Amazon user account. The screen displays a keyboard so you can log in. After that, the Amazon button takes you to the instant video stuff. Good luck.

No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap. I called LG and inquired about it. They said they have not created a new download to make it work with Amazon Prime and that it "was not a priority at this time". So in other words, they will never create the download to make it work with Amazon Prime even though it advertises that it does work with it. I use it on a spare bedroom TV because the Blu Ray and Netflix work great, but still disappointed that I am not getting full use out of it. It only cost me $32.99 so I'm not too upset either. Panasonic has awesome Blu Ray players, but you are going to pay a little more. Good luck to you.

whenever I try to watch an Amazon video it says that I don't have the most recent version of flash. But according to the Market I do. I can watch netflix & google vids fine but anything from Amazon gets thwarted. If anyone here knows what I need to do to fix this I would be SOOOO grateful!!!

This set now has Amazon Instant Video as of 8/22/2013. Firmware version 04.00.20 is the one that added the Amazon app.

Not without help. You will need a device like an Amazon Fire Stick or an Xbox that has the Amazon Prime app on it. You plug the device into the HDMI port of the TV and then you can watch Amazon Instant Videos.
