Does this work easily with online services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos?

Yes, works well. The only apps I have found it doesn't work with are Hulu+ and Verizon Instant but am told by the manufacturer they are working on firmware fix. I tried VI and found it inferior to Netflix and Prime so this wasn't a problem for me. Batteries last a long time.

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

Yes, once you set up your Wi-Fi and get your Wii online, you can use Netflix or Amazon Instant Video directly from the options menu. Hope that helps.

I believe so. I haven't used it because I stream Netflix, but there is an Amazon Prime app on the home screen of the tv so I can't think of a reason you couldn't.

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.

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.

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.

No, it doesn't work with the Amazon App...also doesn't work with Vudu anymore. It does work with iTunes. Can't speak for other apps...I don't use Hulu Plus or Netflix.

Yes. It will stream Amazon, YouTube, and Hulu also. It will stream Netflix 4K videos and YouTube 4K videos if you have an internet speed of 15Mbps or faster.

No, amazon has a pretty tight lid set on what can and cannot access its video services, and the majority of android devices are not given access. There are of course ways around this, the easiest of which is view through the browser, (chrome usually works best for me). All other standard android video apps will work though, such as Netflix and the like. If you're looking for Amazon video compatibility on a tablet, then your best bet is to go with a kindle, (any version will work, and the KF2 can be found on Amazon for 99 dollars).

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.

As long as you don't download too much stuff apps like Netflix and YouTube and such, it works just fine!

Ive only used it to watch Amazon Prime and I noticed that it does. But have not used it yet for Netflix.

I have not tried this specifically from Amazon Prime, but I do have the TV connected to my home wireless and I have streamed video on the TV from other sources, such as youtube, on the TV's browser. So I would suspect Amazon Prime video would work just the same as other sources.
