can you get redbox instant streaming?

Not sure we can get Instant streaming due to the Samsung disc player but we do stream from Netflix with our samsung smart tv. I'm not real technical, so I don't think it has anything to do with the blue ray player, just the TV and internet connection.

No. Even though there's a Netflix button on the remote. The two companies had a fall out and Samsung sends an update when you go on line that makes it not work. I was pretty mad about it especially since it was a primary feature in my choosing this model. I mostly have it unplugged except for the occasional DVD. For everything streaming I moved up to Roku.

As I recall, you have to subscribe to have any access to the machine. I bought a Roku 3 and use it the way you describe.

No. It does not have that app as of yet. You will need an internet streaming device like roku, Apple TV, wii etc.

Yes. Make your video source the Blackmagic Design with the settings you want and it will stream right up.

You can do hulu, vudu, netflix, pandora, cinema now, youtube, flingo, and rhapsody. You can also do social media (twitter, flickr and facebook.) I do not see Amazon instant video as an option.

Hello Sorry so late for the response. I totally missed this but in the interim, I have not seen PBS at all on the channel store but I love the Roku! I have this model and planning to buy the newer models, which I understand allows for Redbox programming. Most likely, the newer model would have it versus this one.

No. You have to get a Roku streaming stick. A streaming stick like aroku 3400m. you don't need the player. I have not bought the stick yet but that is all you need

My understanding (based on some of the Squeezebox forums) is that Amazon would have to provide APIs for the streaming service. I doubt they would do this since it would compete with Amazon products (even though there hasn't been a squeezebox product released in a while). It's too bad they don't... I would probably sign up with Prime if they did.

Yes. It even has a BIG RED remote button for Netflix. But if all you want is Netflix, you might want to consider others like Roku, Chromecast, or Sony's Google TV etc. Those are much easier to use, IMO.

I am not sure about it having the Pandora or not , but my experience with this streaming box was terrible I spent over 13 hours with out success on the phone with tech support trying to utilize this and it would not work for me I had to return it to the manufacturer , the box got extremely hot !! I would not recomend it to anyone !! get roku it does have pandora and it's EASY !!

Yeas, it works and acts exactly the same as the Roku set-top box. Same interface, you just can use the remote of the device you connect it to (TV, Blueray player) to control the Stick. I don't know about streaming from the web site - never tried it and don't know how you can get to them from Roku. But if you did it with the Roku box - you can do the same with the Stick.

yes i can stream 2 of these to zoneminder on amazon vpc with a m3.medium.... and you need at least 4+Mbps upload, but if so, i can get 30fps... need to reduce monitor resolution, or up aws instance type to see it, so that can be expensive

I have an HD-DVR receiver and could get On Demand movies before I bought this box. All this box does, to the best of my knowledge, is let you connect your reciever to the Internet by way of wi-fi. When I bought my Cinema connection box, I was under the impression that I could access more movies thru DirectCinema for free, however this was not the case. You can access tons more movies but they are not free. RedBox is way less expensive. Hope this helps a little.

Those apps are loaded onto Roku but you have to have an account to access them. Or you can sign up directly from the roku

I have read elsewhere that you have to add what you want to watch to your Instant Queue in order to be able to watch it "On Demand" on certain devices.. perhaps this is the case with this unit? This other review noted that you were not able to search and begin streaming from those units. I believe this was a TV review I was reading, with something like NetCast installed. It might be worth a try.. add something to your Instant Queue and see if will let you start playing it.

I wouldn't see why not. I've been very happy with mine. Only thing I have noticed recently is for some reason, neither Hulu nor Redbox Instant apps will work with it. No idea why.
