Can you watch Amazon Prime movies through this device while using the computer to do other work?

Yes...but this can only be done thru Veebeam player only. But unit does not support 64 bit. Also driver for Win7 OPS does not support 5.1 Surround. Distance from dongle to receiver, line of sight minimal...using it for 3 years works ok.

Not sure about that. Haven't tried that. However it works good projecting things from my PC to my TV.

I don't know. My Vee beam conked out and now I'm using Apple TV which does everything Veebeam did only much better.

Whatever you see on your computer screen is what shows up on the television linked via Veebeam; therefore, multitasking on the computer while using it with Veebeam is not feasible.

It didn't work with my PC laptop so I returned it and bought a WARPIA device. It works seamlessly. I am still using it for almost 2 years now.

Yes - We are able to watch the amazon prime movies on this set - occasionally there is a slight delay in the streaming, but that could easily be blamed on our cable provider.

Netflix is a menu option. I also connected to Amazon Prime through the TV's internet connection. Basically, anything that is accessible through the internet is accessible through the TV, however some formats are not playable, such as .mkv files. I had no problem with .avi or .mp4 formats.

Because this is not a "Smart TV" it does not have direct connection to the Internet for Amazon Prime. However, I'm sure the TV would be quite capable of displaying a movie or other content from Amazon Prime if you had an Internet connected device, such as a Roku or Xbox, connected to the TV.

You can do hulu, vudu, netflix, pandora, cinema now, youtube, flingo, and rhapsody. You can also do social media (twitter, flickr and facebook.) I do not see Amazon instant video as an option.

Unfortunately, no. Amazon Prime Video is not available on any Android or forked Android device. Only Fire and tOO.

Yes, you can play prime video. You download the app, sign in with your Prime membership info. Does not do android apps. It is not running android system.

This is not true-prime videos have to be watched through the internet browser however. I dont believe there is a separate app to do it.

Absolutely, this is a great device for movies. If you subscribe to Netflix or hulu or something like that you can stream shows. You can also dowwnload them or copy them from you desktop or laptop to watch when you don't have a good WiFi connection.

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

No. Amazon Prime is not available. Amazon Instant video is available. If you have paid for any movies or tv shows, then you can download and watch, but you do not have access to free movies. Or you can pay for the items you get on other devices for free. Netflix is available, though.

If you mean the Amazon Prime videos for viewing, the answer is NO. That is the main reason why this did not suit my needs.

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.

Amazon Video is one of the apps. With my Amazon Prime membership I am able to watch 'free with Prime' titles, and rent others for cash (I have not done so).

No. Netflix & Vudu for online services. (Also, I may be wrong if Amazon prime will load movies into your Vudu account).

I never tried Amazon Prime with this unit, but I bet it will work if you use your computer for Amazon Prime. I used to listen to YouTube videos with this until I got a new computer last year.

Yes, this Sony Blu-ray player will allow you to stream videos on Amazon Prime. Other online services are Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Vudu, Crackle and many more. -Ely
