Does anyone know how to enable subtitles on the streamer's Amazon Prime app? It was easy to find on its Netflix app...

You have an older version of Amazon that doesn't allow you to select subtitles. IMO this is an awful streamer and if you're able to do so return it for a RUKU player.

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.

Check the setup to make sure you have internet connection. If so go to PREMIUM icon, click on NETFLIX and login. I am an AMAZON PRIME user and have great success with their services. I am able to load NETFLIX to point of logging in or starting New 30 day trial.

If Amazon gets the app on Xbox, I will immediately drop my Netflix account and go Amazon prime...please amazon :)

Yes, this player allows for Netflix subtitles. A full walk-through is available in the below link (requires Flash). https://shop.panasonic.com/docs/how-to/2014/blu-ray-players/Netflix_How_to_Turn_On_Subtitles_2014.html

I didn't have any issues with subtitles on Netflix- in fact, I watched Detective Dee about a month ago and it worked fine. However, Netflix NOW doesn't work AT ALL. Just suddenly one day a message came up that it was unable to play a certain title. Haven't been able to watch ANY movie on Netflix via the Samsung HT e5500, the same message comes up. Customer service points fingers at Netflix, Netflix points back. I will say that Netflix DOES work on my LG Smart TV, which is OK I guess but I will have to directly connect the TV to the sound system so that I can use at least part of the home theatre set up. I have tried every fix in every forum. Very discouraging since I am fairly pleased with all other aspects of the system. But still and all I blame Samsung for this since Netflix works on every other device in my house. Frankly, it's a pretty big issue- and if you read all the forum complaints you might well steer clear.

These questions don't work that way. No one's monitoring them. These are questions for other users to answer from their experience with the product. That said, I suggest you get Amazon Prime so you can get everything in two days (plus it's now rivaling Netflix with all the included movies/TV you can watch for free).

Yes. In the Netflix Channel on the Roku 2, if subtitles are available you can enable this feature. This is still dependent on the individual movie or show to have this feature. To enable subtitles in a Netflix movie or tv show:Click on a movie or show title On the play menu screen, you should see an option labeled "audio and subtitles" if it is available Select "audio and subtitles" and click OK Use the directional arrows to select "English" under Subtitles and click OK Click the back button once or the up directional key a few times until you are back at the play menu screen Click OK on the play or resume options Yes.

Hi, this Sony Blu-ray player doesn't support Netflix or Amazon Prime closed captioning. You may try to check on these models instead: BDPS6200. This one supports closed caption on internet videos. -Ely

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.

I signed up for the one month trial of Prime (and VOD) a few days ago without even looking at what devices supported it. I figured there was no way Amazon would not be on the best streaming device available. When I got home and powered up my Boxee Box I was in shock that there was no Amazon App. How is this even possible? With Netflix screwing over millions of customers why hasnt Amazon stepped up to the plate?

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+

1. Yes, i have connected a cat 5 cable from my wireless router to my sony player and am able to surf the internet. 2. yes, it came pre~installed and was able to sign up but do not really use the service my self. even though I was successful in downloading a free movie. I really do not subscribe to netflix,I do not see any reason why it should not work if amazon video did. Crackle worked fine for me. Hulu is a subscription service like netflix and unfortunately I do not have any intention of paying for these services.

I truly hate when people provide uninformative, useless answers to questions.YES, it will let you watch Amazon Prime movies, including the free movies and TV shows available from the Amazon Prime subscription: I know, I use it. The built-in Primetime app integrates Netflix and Amazon (and Google Play videos and Redbox and your cable/satellite TV) into one app that is really a pretty nice way to see everything you have available through one app.

Sorry to split hairs, but the server issues are on Netflix's end. Netflix has had server issues since they upgraded the interface the first week of June (they've since stopped rolling it out to all users). It seems to only happen during prime viewing hours though. If you are having problems with services other than netflix and at odd hours I'd look for another problem, either with the roku box itself, your router, or your ISP. I haven't experienced problems with other services but I don't use Amazon on Demand. There may be a correlation between netflix and amazon as I read netflix migrated to Amazon's servers. Try some of the other channels to determine if it's a problem with anything else (nasa tv? pandora? etc). Netflix's engineers are struggling to find the correct content to display on their main screen without overloading the servers, it changes almost daily. I expect they'll get it resolved soon but it's been a bad couple weeks for them. For more information check rokulab's user forum: http://forums.rokulabs.com/viewforum.php?f=28
