Why can I not use Amazon Instant Video with this tv... It is a streaming TV yet Amazon Instant Video does not work?

To my knowledge if there is not an app for what you want to see this tv will not stream it. I tried to stream ESPN3 and because the tv has no memory I couldn't download Adode player and could not stream it.

Actually, they didn't include it for their 2010 models either. According to Samsung, you can only access Amazon's VOD if you have the 2012 model. Ridiculous!

The issue, as I understand it, is that for some odd reason, according to Amazon, Samsung decided to leave off the App Amazon uses for their Video-On-Demand (VoD) service. What's messed up is that the 2009, 2010, and 2012 TV's allow Amazon's VoD service, but the 2011 sets don't. I called Samsung and they confirmed this, but blames Amazon. On the other hand Amazon blames Samsung.Hope that answers your question.

Hard to imagine there is not an update that will fix this. Smart hub updates all the time on my other Samsung set. Really disappointing that it won't work on the model that was double the cost of the other one. Not stoked. Come on Amazon -- play nice with Samsung and fix it!

I have found the same problem, after 8 hours of samsung UN46D7000 tv vs amazon instant video! At least I can stop pulling out my hair trying to make it work. Ya think they could just send the frickn' app the tv with all the other crap on there we will never use.

Sunora W.,This model does not have the Amazon Instant Video App available. However, many Samsung Blu-Ray players have apps, including the Amazon Instant Video option. If you're in the market for a new player, consider one that has Amazon included. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

We recently replaced our Panasonic Viera Plasma, after not even 5 years because it became bad !!! So I can not even recommend this TV. To your question - we never did amazon movie streaming, so I can't answer your question - sorry.

You can't get amazon directly through the tv. We purchased roku in order to use our amazon prime on the tv.

I have the 32LN5700 32" model and is is updated to the latest firmware (LG calls it 'software') ver. 03.20.32. At this time (6/17/2013) there is no app for Amazon Instant Video/Amazon on Demand in the menu. I am an Amazon Prime customer, so I hope that this option is available soon.

I have the same TV and it can stream Amazon Video on Demand, Netflix and Hulu by itself. Once the TV is connected to the internet either by wired connection or the wifi adapter you only have to press the internet button on the remote. A menu will pop up on the bottom of the screen and you can pick the service you want to use. I've used mine for Amazon VOD and Netflix and it works great.

Samsung and Amazon work fine on other models, but not this one. Tons of chatter on the net with this. I just went several rounds with Amazon, and they claimed that the hardware (ie processor) won't work with their service. Personally, I find it baloney. , Other models of Samsung before and after work just fine. And other software such as Netflix work without issue. Their answer was to buy a Roku. Personally, I'd skip Prime and stay with Netflix. I'd think long and hard about buying Samsung again too. They both really pissed me off. So sorry.

There is the Amazon instant video app, which will allow you access to Amazon prime video. Hope that helps...Great tv by the way....

Set-up: the Amazon instructions say, navigate to "Your Video Library", then "Link to Amazon", but my TV menu just says "Your video library is empty" and does not have a link to Amazon. What can I do to resolve?

I have this TV and do watch Amazon Instant on it since I have 'Prime'. I have never been impressed with Amazon's interface (not Vizio's fault), but it does work, and there is a button on the remote control for it.

Thanks, Carol. I have no idea what "prime instant video" is! Living waaaay out in the country does not allow for access to any type of streaming what-so-ever. Only purchased the unit because old DVD player died. Sorry I could not be of help. Mike

Well, I haven't been able to get it to work. I purchased it from Amazon for the particular reason to watch Prime movies and when I wrote to them about it, the answer was...Oh well! I still haven't been able to get it to work because it is not listed in their streaming device list.

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

I'm pretty sure it's related to something Amazon did. I've tried watching Amazon Instant Video on a couple computers in the past week and when I went to play the video, they both said, "Updating player..." I hope it isn't broken for good; I use Amazon Video more on my TouchPad than on any other device.

without flash, no Hulu or Netflix...in theory, it may be possible to get FLASH to work, but I have failed so far. Thanks to Costco's generous return policy, I can play with it for another month, then make the keep or return decision
