Just purchchased this TV and am an Amazon Prime member, do I need a Roku box to stream Amazon movies? If not, how do I do it?

No Roku needed. Just hit the Internet button on the remote and it is preloaded. You do need the wifi adapter as wifi is not built in.

You either need Roku or a more expensive box that Panasonic sells. We went with Roku.

I have the same TV and it can stream Amazon Video on Demand, Netflix and Hulu by itself. Once the TV is connected to the internet either by wired connection or the wifi adapter you only have to press the internet button on the remote. A menu will pop up on the bottom of the screen and you can pick the service you want to use. I've used mine for Amazon VOD and Netflix and it works great.

No, you don't need a roku box to get Amazon prime. Just make sure you have wireless in your home

A Roku box is unnecessary, according to my relative who received this TV from me as gift. last year we gave him the Roku box for use with his old set, so I believe he knows from personal experience. Can't help with the how to part. Sorry.

Answer here...No you don't need a roku box. You will need to hook the TV up to your internet connection either through ethernet cable or buy the optional wireless adapter. Once that is set up just go to the internet apps and select the amazon service. It will give you a link to a webpage where you will need to enter the PIN it provides. Once your tv is activated on the webpage using this pin you are good to go.

We recently replaced our Panasonic Viera Plasma, after not even 5 years because it became bad !!! So I can not even recommend this TV. To your question - we never did amazon movie streaming, so I can't answer your question - sorry.

You do not need "Cable TV" to use the Roku. You will need an internet connection to stream movies and tv shows from online services like Netflix and Amazon

I use a Roku on mine for Amazon/Netflix... It connects into one of the HDMI ports. Works great!

i stream Netflix and Amazon Prime. There are several other channels available with Roku, but those two are all I need.I recommend the Roku 3 (HDMI or hard-wired ethernet cable). Things may change for me. I have just purchased a new "smart" tv - a Sharp Aquos LED/LCD with built in wi-fi and streaming channels, including Netflix and Amazon. For the present, I will stay with my trusty Roku 3. Good luck to you!!!- Steve S.

This a great question. Why doesn't this blu ray player have an Amazon Prime App?

Yes, the Amazon app is the same app for all of the Roku player Models (Both the previous models and the third gen, or as Roku is calling them Roku 2s). Prime is available if you pay the ~$79 a year for the service.Without Prime, you can still rent Amazon VOD to rent or buy Movies or TV shows. I use Amazon VOD myself on the Roku. There is a section in the Amazon App (Channel) on the Roku for Prime users (I don't use prime but the button is there regardless).

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+

This Tv doesn't have an app for Amazon. However , I would highly recommend researching Roku. It's a hockey Puck sized device that provides hundreds of apps including amazon

I have streamed video from Amazon as a Prime member. It was free and worked well. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember the details. Right now I'm using Netflix and the kindle fire to video stream to a large TV with an HDMI cable which works great.

Unfortunately, you can not. I am using features like Amazon Prime video by using my PS3. Or you can get something a little more affordable like a Roku. If you are not a gamer consider a Roku. I would recommend a Roku 2 or if you can spare a few bucks get the Roku 3. It has wifi, 1080p and Amazon Prime. Also has Netflix and other services and games than will keep the user busy for a long time. I hope this answers your question.

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

I haven't tried Amazon, but suddenly my ability to get Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, etc. has disappeared. I have talked with Netflix & with my internet provider...they concluded it's the tv. I've seen the problem in online forums. They say to reset the tv back to factory settings. But I'm going to call Vizio & see if they can walk me through it.

Another option is buying a device like Roku which I hear will give you access to Amazon prime as well. This is larger in size than a dongle but may have better streaming.

Download the Netflix or Hulu app. There is now an app from Amazon that's supposed to let you watch Prime movies if you are a Prime customer, but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Would love for this to happen. Browsing through the "Ask & Answer" section on LG site (http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM6700-led-tv), it looks like the app for Amazon VOD was excluded based on decision made by Amazon, not LG. That's really disappointing. I don't want to have to buy Roku to enjoy HD streaming for service I'm already paying... sigh...
