Anyone use Amazon Streaming?

For a year now I had Prime which includes free shipping and one day, two for a small fee, great deal hun? Well Prime Video is good if you like OLD movies 80's 90's. Theres a special section for Prime Video at the streaming site. What I thought when I first got it was it also included ALL the new releases, WRONG!!! just the old stuff. If you purchase a lot of things off Amazon that are under $25 this is the program for you otherwise it ain't worth it because frankly speaking the movies suck! This ain't no Netflix!!! I hope this was a help. PS: I cancel my membership in nov...Added this on Dec 30 2011: After pricing out all the buying I would do on Amazon, I kept the Prime and I'm happy I did. Back in Nov, I had no idea I was going to also purchase a 42" Toshiba 3D HDTV along with many different electronic things. After calulating shipping cost, I came way ahead with Prime. As for Prime Video, I did find some good stuff. The $79 this time was well worth it!

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

Works well with our PF8500. Streaming of Amazon, Netflix, Pandora and YouTube all went smoothly.

two of my sisters have that TV and yes Amazon Prime Instant Video will stream through it but there is no application inside the TV. you have to use a blu ray dvb, Apple streamer or Ruko but it will look beautiful

Apparently I can, but have not tried, although the Amazon links do seem to be working for movies, Tv shows etc.

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.

I believe in order to stream prime you would have to use a kindle tablet or your smartphone via hdmi cable plugged in back of unit.

P.Hogan.. how do you stream BBC Acorn, Netflix and Amazon on your TV without going through a Blu-Ray or a Tivo?

Yes. Use built in Amazon App and go to your Prime page or instant video page once inside app. It works well.

Hi CK. No, unfortunately there is no Amazon app for this Unit. Also one of the reasons why I returned it.

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?

I haven't tried, I also have the Amazon version that streams amazon movies, Netflix, Hulu and other apps. I like this product as I only stream Netflix, don't like to pay for movies.

I havent tried it with an on line streaming service such as hulu - however i saw a significant improvement in performance in streaming hd movies from my NAS.

I bought the 8600 and connected a Roku 2 to get Amazon Instant Video. The combination works great. Netflix seems to stream more reliably through the Roku too.

Personally, I have had no issues using the Amazon Prime Application on this t.v. So, the answer is yes.

I am not sure if amazon video is compatible. There are many apps to choose from to stream video. I use Netflix. The picture quality is at least as good as DVD when streaming. However, I find that Netflix has a lot of issues. I will need to sign back in, it will not load and then at least every 3 months you have to update the Blu-ray player. Other streaming Blu-ray players seem to have the same issues.If you are going to mainly stream video, I would recommend buying something else. This is fine for occasional use but can cause many headaches.

with a Roku or some other similar device - I believe Amazon may have an Amazon branded product that performs the same function, but they all essentially are independent devices that connect to your WiFi and allow you to sign on to your streaming service of choice for output to your video device ( the Roku 3 is the only one I have direct experience with, and it has so far proven excellent for Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Vimeo and a number of other services ).
