Asked a simple question of whether the Amazon appp would be added to the 570 on the 570 Q&A; board.This was their response,"Your Question has been Rejectedþ"Obviously they didn't want to post the answer of "No" to their Q&A; section of product info on the 570.Not really surprising however.

I'm not sure if Amazon has any interest in work with LG to solve this, after all Amazon is a sales channel, and gets a cut every time we are forced to change a device because they wont update it.Keep in mind that this discussion is bigger than this model and Amazon's VOD; it's about how planned obsolescence is being taken to extremes. Where you need to replace your [device] every year.Don't back down. Seek alternative options. Be creative.Don't fall for their game.

This is the LG standard response to the request from their "Product Questions & Answers":"Amazon Video On Demand has been added to our 2011 Smart TV products, and is available in the LG Apps Store. In order to install the Amazon VOD to the 2010 Netcast models, the software will have to be provided by Amazon. If it is added, then it will be downloaded directly to the player using your home network connection."I sent a kind request to Amazon today requesting that they add the service to this model. Will post response, when (and IF), I get a response.

I just sent the same request to Amazon customer service. Maybe if they get enough requests something will happen. our BD 570 is only 2 years old - so were not ready to go shopping for a new Blu-ray player yet.here are the links for customer service @ both sites - if we barrage them with requests - maybe something will happen?https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=508510&https://wws.lg.com/us/support/message-customer-support

And don't completely let Amazon off the hook. I would buy PRIME in a heartbeat if I could also watch streaming on a big screen.... I have no interest in viewing on my laptop. So Amazon would get an instant "sale" of their streaming. That alone should spur them on to urge LG to add the feature. I continue to press the NetCast button on my remote.... hoping (against hope) to see that "coming soon" box/icon replaced with Amazon Streaming (Prime). By the way, I worked 30 years as a programmer -- the software upgrade is very doable, if LG wanted to do it (or cared about past customers). And don't completely let Amazon off the hook.

Not only to the 570 but the 550s as well..its just an application its not like they have to rewrite the entire firmware.

THis app is missing even from 2012 Smart Tv's. I fail to understand any conflict of interest issues arising out of including the Amazon app. I am not sure which end is the hold up.

I agree 100%. Amazon needs to provide an app for Prime Member videos. Maybe they could incorporate it into the UnBox program. I'd personally like an app both for my PC and my Android. Otherwise I won't be renewing next year.

I just received my LG BH200 (Blu-ray and HD DVD combo player) back from LG. The unit did not work out of the box so I sent it in for repair. They replaced the main board and loaded the latest firmware. The latest firmware (12/08) does not support BD-R/AVCHD discs. I tried several times and finally looked around www.avsforum.com and found the April 08 firmware is the latest that still supports BD-R/AVCHD playback. So I downgraded the firmware and an AVCHD DVD plays fine. I'm not sure where LG is on BD-R support with the BD300. Check out AVS forum.FYI, my HD camcorder does not record AVCHD format, but Ulead VideoStudio 11.5+ can author it. I just received my LG BH200 (Blu-ray and HD DVD combo player) back from LG.

TV does have Amazon App. LG TV's really are top notch. I recommend them in all sizes LED, and Plasma if stay on top of the ghosting.

Yes. As of March 22nd, the Amazon app is available on Smart TV. Interestingly I went on Live Chat on Samsung.com before I purchased the unit and the customer service representative couldn't confirm whether or not the h6350 supports it.

Tried to post question on LG forum "Will BP220 stream AMAZON instant video soon? Ever?".They refused my to post my question because it was "inappropriate".WTF?Last time I buy LG.

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

not sure which list you are viewing. The software update in September included Amazon prime video. That was maybe two updates ago, so it should be there. You can go to settings, and update the software, and it should show up. You may have to re-boot the TV however. (turn it off and on again)

it comes with a Amazon app but it doesn't work at present. but is coming soon from what i here may or june with a new update. I have shipped my LG BP730 back to LG for repair of the wifi. with out the wifi its still the best smart blu ray player i've ever had.

For the videos the app works fine, but the music app does not work, even after I have contacted Amazon about it repeatedly. The music app for Amazon has not updated since April and still doesn't work.

I stream my movies thru the PLEX app on my samsung and mine is a bd5500, older. Go to samsungs website and see if they have an app for amazons video, I would bet that they do, and most apps are free. good luck

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.

Any possibility that you can force the LG BD630 to accept a firmware update designed for the LG670, as that firmware has the Amazon VOD app?

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..

I too saw on the LG site that this was an Amazon rather than LG decision. Really disappointing - I'm coming up on renewal time for my Amazon prime and may just op for Netflix instead, where I don't have to buy extra equipment.
