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).

I would say without a doubt YES, since the Amazon channel has always been a part of the base channel line-up. You even get a $5 credit when ou link a Roku to your Amazon account.

I just went to the product page suggested above - http://www.roku.com/roku-products?gclid=CNOSsMSXqKwCFcoQNAodvhbG_Q and clicked on Amazon and it does say that it includes Amazon Prime. I needed the same information so was glad to see it. Am going to order today.

All of the Roku 2's do subtitle support for the new Netflix subtitle feature.

The LT is the same as the HD model with the exceptions being it does not have the memory expansion slot or bluetooth remote capability.... thus is a mere $10 cheaper.Its product page is at:http://www.roku.com/roku-products?gclid=CNOSsMSXqKwCFcoQNAodvhbG_Q

See the odd thing is that Amazon has two different kinds of delivery - Amazon Instant Video and Amazon Prime Instant Video are TWO DIFFERENT things.I can get "Amazon Instant Video" on my Tivo HD, but I cannot get the Amazon Prime Instant Video on my Tivo HD. This was a surprise to me. I signed up for Prime, could not get the stream and I actually talked on the phone to a live person who said 'no, the Amazon Prime Instant Video will not stream to a Tivo HD". Netflix works just fine.So before I would order this, I'd like to know that it will do the PRIME Instant Video.

Yes. I have had a Roku for several years, and used primarily for Netflix. Now with the newer RokuHD and Amazon Prime membership, I can stream everything from Amazon that is available in excellent viewing quality.

My understanding is this player does not support Amazon Prime. I also verified this with live chat. Bummer.

No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap. I called LG and inquired about it. They said they have not created a new download to make it work with Amazon Prime and that it "was not a priority at this time". So in other words, they will never create the download to make it work with Amazon Prime even though it advertises that it does work with it. I use it on a spare bedroom TV because the Blu Ray and Netflix work great, but still disappointed that I am not getting full use out of it. It only cost me $32.99 so I'm not too upset either. Panasonic has awesome Blu Ray players, but you are going to pay a little more. Good luck to you. No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap.

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.

I haven't tried to use it for Amazon Prime. I searched for Amazon Prime and did not see it listed. I may well have missed a link. Perhaps Raymond could explain how he accesses it on this player.

yes you can stream Amazon, Net Flix, Hulu +, and most other services that provide streaming videos. It is a great player and well worth the money especially with foreign made DVD's

The Tivo does have Amazon Prime and works well. It was added the last week of Oct 2014.

That's not what people are asking for. To be precise: you CAN watch Amazon Instant Videos on your XBox360, because they are *downloaded* onto your MediaCenter PC, and the XBox gets them from there.You CANNOT watch Amazon *Prime* Instant Videos on your XBox, because they are strictly streaming - they are NOT downloaded to the Media Center PC. *Prime* Instant Videos are like YouTube videos - they stream, they are not downloaded into a local disk file.

No. The issue some people are having is that you need a form of Adobe FlashPlayer for videos to function; it is not pre-installed on this device as Google announced in 2012 that it was discontinuing Flash for mobile devices. There are a couple of easy options available to get around this in order to watch Prime videos; the first method is to load a browser from PlayStore that has Flash bundled in such as FlashFox (free app). FlashFox works, but it can lag at times and the ads at the bottom of the browser window drive me nuts. The better way is the second option; Amazon announced in September that it would support Prime for Android mobile devices. This can be extended to tablets using the appropriate steps. Just follow the instructions shown below to install the required apps: 1) Install the Amazon Appstore on your device. ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html?docId=1001206081) 2) Open the Amazon Appstore (orange icon), search for the Amazon app (the icon has the Amazon logo over a blue shopping basket), and install it. 3) Open the newly installed Amazon App (shopping basket icon), & sign into your account. 4) Once signed in, navigate to any Prime instant video and select "watch now". You will then be prompted to install Amazon Player; do so. 5) Once player installs, you're done. You can now watch any Prime video via your Amazon App. Please note, there is an Amazon app for tablets on Google PlayStore, but it WILL NOT support Prime video on tablets. You must use the above instructions in order to achieve Prime video functionality on this tablet. Hope this helps

The best answer tp your question is to go to Amazon prime and see if it can be directed to your LG. I think it can with the right app but I have never tried to do it myself. I just stream on my Laptop. good luck.

Amazon instant videos? I'm 62 and still trying to figure out how to stream Netflix. (I have, by the way!) Better check with someone else. Good luck!

I don't have a prime account but I do have multiple Rokus on my Netflix account. I would think prime would be the same.

Yes it does, I signed up for both Netflix and Amazon Prime, and tried out both on the player. Both worked fine with no obvious problems.

I believe there is an amazon instant video app now available for SmartHub. So. You would connect the blu ray player to your network, download updates, install amazon instant video app, then you can watch amazon tv through the bluray's "Smart" features.*Based on Charlie's response, perhaps the streaming app was never released for the blu ray player.. As he suggested though you may want to look into adding a Roku - I bought a refurb roku 2 xs for 48 bucks shipped and it's great. Roku 3 is not worth it if you're mainly looking to stream content*

Unfortunately, no you can't, it comes loaded with Hulu Plus, Netflix, Pandora, VuDu, CinemaNow, Viewster, NO Amazon Prime.....The LG TV's have Amazon Prime, not the BluRay player.....

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 ).
