I watch amazon prime just fine. You will need to link your account, and the instructions are on screen in the player. You will need a pc connection to link your account, then all works fine. They require a 4 digit pin to keep the kids from buying movies and tv shows that are not part of the prime package.

I have since received the cd-rom from Panasonic to upgrade my DMP-BD35 blue-ray player and that solved the problem. It is now properly upgraded with the Version.7 firmware upgrade. If there are others having a similar problem upgrading their firmware, contact Panasonic.

The Touch Free Sensor on my Panasonic DMP-BDT210 has not worked since we first set it up. I then read that there is a setting to turn it on and and off. I located it in the settings screen under "other" and it was set to off. I turned it on but still does not work. Everything else seems to work fine so it is not really a deal breaker for me. But would be interested to know if you guys found a way to fix yours.

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...

I'll wait too! Just came to Amazon from Consumer Reports where it is listed as recommended with price of $200.00. I was shocked when I saw the price today. Hmm, maybe for $100 more, I'll buy the higher rated Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc Player with many more features, in stock here at Amazon and eligible for Amazon Prime! Read the reviews on it! Also, it is just at the MSRP of $499.99!

Scott Favell, No, unfortunately. Amazon Instant Video was not released for the "D" 2011 Samsung LED models by Amazon. Here are a list of devices that support the Amazon Instant Video App, including some Blu-Ray players and Home Theater systems. http://www.samsung.com/us/appstore/app/G00009411006-compatible --Mr. S

Yes. To get Amazon Prime video to work:1. Go to Settings and change to allow outside Apps2. Go to Amazon Prime video thru the browser and try to order a movie3. Amazon will take you to directions for Android...essentially, you install the Amazon AppStore app, then thru that you you install Amazon video app4. Use the Amazon Video app...done

There is a Vudu channel, and I was able to add it and browsed their movie catalog. I haven't used it yet though, there is so much else I already have with Amazon Prime and other channels that I haven't needed it. It seemed a bit pricy to me, but I guess you pay for convenience. However, it won't do 1080P, which seems to be a big part of the reason to use Vudu, since the LT can't support that. So any movies you stream would be in SD instead.

Yes...it has the "Amazon Prime Instant Video." I've never used it, but it's there. :)

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

Yup!! I have a Prime account and tested it out as soon as I hooked it up! So now I can watch my Amazon movies, Netflix, crackle (which is free) and a couple others (although we use it mainly for the Netflix and Amazon). Works great! Easy to hook up and program. Give it a whirl! I'm going to get 3 more for our other sets and kill the cable bill!

Thanks R. Oxhorn and Noaxtogrind. You asked and answered my question. Just got the Samsung BD5700 for a gift and hope Samsung does update the Blu-ray to access Amazon's streaming.

I exchanged my device today in the store since i bricked it with the firmware upgrade.The new one shows blockbuster on the box and in the manual.Blockbuster, Netflix Pandora and Youtube all work great!

Same problem here. I have been looking into flashing the firmware on my LG BD-590 blu-ray player with the app for Amazon instant video to Netcast. Have not found anything yet. I think when a manufacturer flashes the software to the firmware chip then that is the end of it. LG just recently added Amazon to Netcast on the new models. So we may have to purchase another devise to get the Amazon Netcast app. What I have been doing to watch Amazon VOD is to use my laptop HDMI out to my HD TV. Just logon to your Amazon Prime account and watch on PC or video out to TV via HDMI if you have that capability.

Thanks BlueDemon.I have actually been following the thread on AVSForum since it began. While there are some reports of loose HDMI connectors, muting, etc; it really isn't much (actual content-wise vs. wishing/hoping-wise). Amazon had a yellow note on their HT-CT500 page for a while saying that no orders were being taken because of Amazon customer-reported issues. I was curious to see what the actual issues were (causing a suspension of sales), in case any of those customers returned here.Thanks~Bill

I have Amazon Prime on my TV and it works just fine - I don't know how the DVD/Blu-Ray player comes into play, but I haven't had any glitches. I'm not very technologically oriented but I do know I love this player!
