Boxee Box & Amazon Video Demand & Netflix. Will we be able to have access to Amazon Video Demand and Netflix?

Been a Prime member for years and a Boxee VOD app would certainly incite me to keep my prime membership going. C'mon Amazon, I can watch Netflix/Hulu + in my kitchen, back bedroom, family room and master bedroom via PS3's and Boxee Box. But I can only watch Amazon VOD via my Roku in family room?? Doesn't make sense why an app hasn't been developed for Boxee Box and PS3's. If there is a reason Amazon, your Prime Members would LOVE to hear it....... Signed, Spoiled Rotten by Netflix/Hulu+

But is it not possible to purchase a video file from Amazon - say a tv episode - store it on your hard drive and THEN use the Boxee to view it on your large-screen tv ?

I don't want to wait.... I signed up for Amazon Prime and I would like to access it through my Boxee Box... If I can stream to my PC why can't I stream to my Boxee ? The money it still transferred and I can watch in my living room rather than my office..... Come on Amazon make the leap.... I'm waiting !!!!

Yeah, I'm stuck using Netflix + Vudu despite being an Amazon junkie. Would love to watch Amazon movies on one of my devices (xbox 360, boxee, apple tv), but none of them support it. Come on Amazon. Kindle rules because it works on every device, why isn't Amazon video the same?

It doesn't directly support netflix but we run a roku and use netflix and amazon prime with it.

Yes. I have had a Roku for several years, and used primarily for Netflix. Now with the newer RokuHD and Amazon Prime membership, I can stream everything from Amazon that is available in excellent viewing quality.

Hi, no it will not. It is an entry-level smart box with no internet search function to access Amazon. You will need to purchase a higher end unit like a Roku 2 or 3, Netgear Prime or apple unit. These units have Amazon instant play preloaded.

Yes, you can download the Amazon appstore from the browser if you go to mommy or daddy mode. Then you can install Netflix from the appstore.

You can access you tube and a few other. Services, not Netflix or Amazon. It is terrific at playing video files from a hard drive or streamed from your base computer. You can insert a hard drive inside of it as well as plug in 2 other hard drives and a flash drive. If you want to access netflix, amazon, spot iffy, etc., your best bet is roku 3 which is the most perfect device ever made for streaming video, music, or anything. There is no competition. I have them all, trust me!

Ours did, we took the offer but left after the two months were up, not that great! Netflix is better but now we are liking Amazon Prime. Planning to DQ Netflix soon.

I haven't checked re Amazon Prime and Pandora, but it does include Netflix, which I've used. The interface for the various apps works well and is reasonably intuitive.

All you need to do is download the Amazon App and then log in. On my TV the amazon app was not pre-installed like the Netflix app was.

You can get the netflix app from amazon app store and it will work but the videos and the sound are not in sync. It's very jerky. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work better or not.

Not sure what you mean. It has a certain overlap with Roku, i.e. they both have netflix, pandora and amazon video, but they are different type of products and don't really work with each other.

yes. just download the app and you can use your amazon instant video as well as access your video library.

I am disappointed that Amazon and Samsung are not getting together to put the Amazon streaming app on the Samsung 2011 products. I bought a Samsung TV for Christmas and this was our first exposure to Netflix since the TV is a "Smart TV". We loved Netflix so much we plan to cut our cable TV service. I looked into Amazon Prime and loved how much content was available to stream for Amazon Prime users. I was disappointed to find out that I can't get the Amazon app on my Samsung TV. We did by a Roku device for our 2009 model LCD TV which is in our formal living room and can enjoy the Amazon app on that device. I would hate to have to go out and purchase another Roku just to have the Amazon app available on our new 45" TV. This seems like a simple thing for Amazon and Samsung to work out. But unfortunately like so much of the content wars in this last decade we the consumers are the one's who lose. Its things like this that are a perfect example of that.

"Amazon Instant Video" is available out of the box....not sure if Prime can be added or not.

Yes amazon instant video and I use it regularly. With a prime membership a lot of the content is free and shows like mad men season 5 are on there where my friend says she can't get that on Netflix yet

The remote has an option for both Netflix and Amazon, but I've only used the Netflix feature. It is very convenient.
