Why does the LG LM8600 say it does not have Amazon Instant Video? I have Amazon Prime & of course want to watch movies & series from my watchlist.

I believe because Amazon an LG did not negotiate for that access. It has quick connect for Netflix, Hulu, and any others. LG also offers rentals in 2d and 3d simu;iar to Blockbuster vdeo rentals. I believe you ca connect via the internet "google"; I do not have Amazon Prime. I go to the internet just like I would from my computer. I suggest you send Amazon your question-I find them to be very resourceful and helpful..

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.

LG has yet to add support for Amazon Prime/Instant Video on the LM8600 series of TV's. LG support had said they would Amazon come thus past November but have as yet ti do so.

I'm sorry but I don't use amazon instant videos so I don't know. I cannot play Netflix or Hulu, either. Can you?

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.

My Amazon Instant Video does have the My Watchlist that I see can have Movies and TV shows. I'm not sure how I can get to watch on my TV. I can watch on my computer!

I own the BD-E5900 and was not able to get the Amazon Instant Video. In checking the Samsung support website at: http://www.samsung.com/us/appstore/app/G00009411006-compatible, the BD-E5900 is not listed as a compatible device for Amazon Instant Video.

I am not seeing the ability to stream Amazon instant video. Anyone know how to do this. My old Blu Ray player kept adding channels to installation.

I too am interested in an Amazon instant video app for the BD-C5500. AMAZON, PLEASE DO IT!

Would love for this to happen. Browsing through the "Ask & Answer" section on LG site (http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM6700-led-tv), it looks like the app for Amazon VOD was excluded based on decision made by Amazon, not LG. That's really disappointing. I don't want to have to buy Roku to enjoy HD streaming for service I'm already paying... sigh...

Sign in to your Amazon Prime account and find Amazon Instant Video settings. Then paste in this url: http://tinyurl.com/kk5hwfp for a list of compatible tvs. If yours isn't here, I don't think you'll be able to watch Amazon on your TV. I can't get it on mine. Maybe someone else knows something I don't know.

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.

Tried to post question on LG forum "Will BP220 stream AMAZON instant video soon? Ever?".They refused my to post my question because it was "inappropriate".WTF?Last time I buy LG.

My TV shows the Amazon Prime app on the LG smart hub. You may need to run a software update but it has been there on mine since I bought the TV several months ago.

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

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.
