I have never used it with Amazon Prime. There are a number of apps thru which you r able to stream or purchase for permanent download to your device. I use my device strictly for download and storage purposes. As well I can stream from other media devices on my network.

No. Amazon is not one of the User Interface Apps built in to the TV. However, you can purchase many blu ray players for about a hundred bucks that have Amazon Instant Video, such as my Panasonic. It's still cumbersome though

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.

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. Yes and no.

This is one of the only cons I have found so far with this TV, is the lack of an amazon app.I use my PS3 to stream amazon to the tv though and that works fine.Roku, Playstation, Xbox, some DVD players, etc would be able to remedy this.

It has worked fine for me, steaming Netflix and various video files. I haven't pushed it at very high data rates, though. Jim

I do not believe the TiVo line currently supports Amazon Prime (and there's no given timeline or if they will even support it). Especially now with Amazon's "Fire" streaming box, i would doubt that AP streaming would come to the TiVo.

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*

I have this connected to my computer so it streams .... what ever source is selected including Amazon cloud the B&W; A7 plays no problem.

I don't want to wait.... I signed up for Amazon Prime and I would like to access it through my Boxee Box... If I can stream to my PC why can't I stream to my Boxee ? The money it still transferred and I can watch in my living room rather than my office..... Come on Amazon make the leap.... I'm waiting !!!!

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.

We are using PlayOn which is now integrated with Roku.It streams from a NAS unit on our network.Claimed to be a beta implementation but works flawlessly for us.

I'm not sure as I havent look into it. When I got the unit my concern was the way it streamed 1080p content which is so important for me and it failed...

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.

Yes it seems like it does support Amazon Instant provided you have a Cable Provider service connected to your Receiver.
