Does it have the amazon instant video option?

Unfortunately it does not. I've tried to find how to download it and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. When I checked their website some months ago about this problem the answer was it wasn't supported. Having bought this player and had it now for over a year, I would definitely buy something else if I had the chance to do it over again.

That's a trick question, yes it will play amazon instant video from a device that has the amazon instant video service, but this TV - by itself, does not have Amazon instant video. It is not a "Smart" TV. No apps whatsoever.

I watch amazon instant videos on this from a roku. The tv itself is not Internet enabled.

I can't say I remember seeing Amazon Video On Demand as one of the apps in the device. Will update when I get home.

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

This television has "Google TV" software which has an Amazon Instant Video app. Since I am a Prime member, I get to watch lots of free movies from Amazon this TV

It does support Amazon Prime videos. I've logged into my Amazon account and watched a movie as I would on any other computer with a browser.

Yes, This has a web browser. Kinda hard to use since you have to use the on screen keyboard though. It also has the option of viewing netflix (In fact the remote has a "Netflix" button) and Hulu Plus and a couple others. Unfortunately it does not have an app for viewing Amazon instant video. I checked the instant video compatibility on Amazon's website and Sharp seems to be one of the only unsupported TV's

No. It just allows us to stream Hulu plus, Amazon, or other online video rental sources.

Amazon Instant video is available as of today. The new firmware updates the set to firmware 04.00.20 which includes the Amazon app.

Not that I know of... It has pre-loaded apps (like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu). We use Amazon with our Prime membership all the time.

No. I contacted Netgear about this very thing and they said that these players do not support html 5, the format necessary for Amazon Instant video.

Yes. But I have experienced some choppiness and stalling on Amazon Instant Video, so I opted for VUDU which works with no issues.

No. Amazon Prime is not available. Amazon Instant video is available. If you have paid for any movies or tv shows, then you can download and watch, but you do not have access to free movies. Or you can pay for the items you get on other devices for free. Netflix is available, though.

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?
