How well does this tablet work with Amazon Streaming? The other tablet I am looking at (Dell Venue 8) Does not work at all with Amazon Prime Streaming.

You should consider the Kindle Fire. The Android OS naturally won't support it. The work around: you need manually install Adobe Flash Player apk (not by Google Play), and then using other browser app like Dolphin or Firefox and enable to run Adobe Flash Player. The Chrome won't support it. This issue is not unique to this tablet, nor Dell Venue 8. If you do not understand what I talked about. Go for the "Kindle Fire"s, which is/are very good tablet(s).

I've never had any trouble with streaming. I love the 8in screen size, too.

There are so many possibilities... do u have a good fast WiFi connection?.. is flash player installed?... have you got an account with amazon apps and allowed all the updates for YouTube?... have you read your user manual?...this tablet has about half GB of ram (memory) and you can't have too many apps running at the same time and expect it to do YouTube too. Did it ever play videos before?

Yes the 310 does in fact hace Amazon as well as Pandora and a bunch of other things, Netflix, Hulu, Marketplace and about 10 others. It will stream pretty good over the wifi also so you need not worry about lag unless you have a slow connection. And the little run your hand over the sencor thing has that cool factor. I love mine and use it 5-7 times a week..Hope this helps..

It's not that it does or doesn't work with Amazon Prime... it has nothing to do with that. IF you have Amazon Prine streaming on your Ipad, this will allow you to see it on your TV. All this does is put whatever you are seeing on your Ipad onto your TV screen.

If I purchased my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 from Amazon, shouldn't it be compatible with Amazon Prime Instant Video? Does anyone know of a registration code for this device?

I personally bought a tablet just so I could view Netflix and YouTube on my tablet. I'm terribly sorry for the late response but in short, yes it does. However, since it is a quadcore it specializes in 3D gaming and multitasking. Seeing as streaming is a single task, I would recommend a dual core unless you are like myself and like to have open your paper as well as iFunny :) and a browser at the same time.

Make sure you download and install the "Amazon for Tablets" THEN download and install the "Amazon Prime Instant Video". By the way, get the apps from the Amazon.Com site because when I tried to get from the Google App Store, they wouldn't install.

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

yes. works very well for streaming Netflix movies, I have not tried it with Amazon but don't see why that would be any different.

You can watch Netflix but the app is very buggy. The problem appears to be the app rather than the tablet. Hulu Plus works fine as do Crackle and and CBS. Streaming shows and movies via Google Play Movies works fine as well. Unfortunately Amazon Plus has yet to develop an app for this tablet.

Jim, could you send me a link to where you read this information? I checked Sony's website and could not find anything mentioning netflix streaming on this device. Thanks -

I had this tablet, and could watch some channels, but I forget which. Some channels recognise this is a tablet, and will refuse to load, others, at this point, will work. However, as I understand it, some networks are in the process of cutting off access to their feeds from android based devices. I had netflix loaded, and it worked great, and a few over the air channels also worked great. CBS, NBC, ABC, etc. Of those , I know a few worked, but a few didn't. Doing a little research, it appears Netflix & Hulu Plus are preloaded, and ready to go. Both have free trials so try them out, and decide which you prefer. I prefer Netflix as I think it offers more bang for my $8 mo. However, Hulu basic is free when using a computer or laptop.

Yes and no. All the major TV apps that I've tried work great (TNT, ABC, TBS...) but for Amazon your only option is a program called FlashFox Pro. Amazon's streaming runs on Flash Player and the FlashFox browser is the only one left on Android that runs Flash. The app is available on the Google Play store. Amazon says that they are working on an Android app, but they've been saying that for a while now. They've got one for iOS but since their Kindle Fire is in direct competition with all other Android tablets I'm not holding my breath. It's too bad because I'm a Prime member and I definitely feel cheated.

You can try relaunching the iPad application (Netflix, whatever) - have sometimes had to disconnect and reconnect cable to get working but always did. Oh it won't work with Amazon Prime Video! They block it!

I watch Amazon Prime videos via my iPad Air all of the time. I also watch Netflix, Hulu & videos residing on my computer hard drive. I had a Kindle Fire but the newest version had a nasty looking blue fringe on the screen that was annoying. I sent that back & sold my old iPad & got the Air & very happy with gorgeous video, fast response & versatility. It is great!
