Yes, but because it doesn't have wi fi built in, you will either need to run an ethernet cable to it from where the router is, but if you have a wireless router, use can use a wi fi extender that allows you to plug an ethernet cable into it to the blu ray player or use a powerline ethernet adapter to connect an ethernet cable to the blu ray (that will run the Internet to other areas of your house using the power grid & power outlets in your home). The last is the best method I found, as the wif fi extender would drop signal sometimes, but the powerline adapter doesn't & gives me a better connection.

Yes... IF you have a REALLY long cable. This device doesn't have wireless built in

As the others stated, it does require an ethernet cable to connect to the internet or to other devices in your house.

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.

yes. works very well for streaming Netflix movies, I have not tried it with Amazon but don't see why that would be any different.

Patricia, if your television will accomodate a HDMI cable, I would that connection. The better the quality of cable, the better quality will be the reception. That is what I use on a 60 inch Sony TV and it works well. I also have another 60 inch Sony that is using the Amazon Fire TV to pick up Netflix. It works well, as well with a HDMI.

I doubt it. I was never able to get the device to work. I gave up on it and hooked an HDMI cable to my laptop instead. With a wireless keyboard and mouse I've been able to watch shows on Netflix and purchase others on Amazon

Use netflix and amazon prime no problem through my playstation 3. Stream spotify too.

Amazon is not supporting any Samsung 2011 products with streaming. Blueray or TV's. Neither Samsung or Amazon will tell why

I do not have wireless router intenet. I have LAN Ethernet. Will I still be able to bring up Netflix and hulu and amazon. I already have accounts with all of them. I can use my roku 3 but I use that in my bedroom and was putting this in living room and hoping not to drag wires to this tv.

IMHO - get your own dual band N network router. IF your TV is close enough to the router you can get a really strong signal on the less used band - I am using the 2nd band now myself to stream and no worries. Now, just a side note - if you are going to get an HDTV, you can buy them now with the Netflix built in. Or to save some $$, you can buy a blu-ray (which you will probably want to buy anyway) and get the type that has Netflix built into that as well. (I use Amazon's personally - but Netflix or Amazon, either way!) So what you really should ask yourself is if you are going to get an HDTV - if yes, maybe pass on this for now. Just my opinion. Either way, upgrade to an 'N' dual band network today. You'll thank me later.

No. You will need to add an Internet device such as Roku to hook up to Amazon Prime.

I believe so. I haven't used it because I stream Netflix, but there is an Amazon Prime app on the home screen of the tv so I can't think of a reason you couldn't.

Man! This is an old thread. You could buy one of the Roku devices and stream audio/video. They're rather inexpensive and highly reviewed. Hookup either wireless or through ethernet cable. Then connect via HDMI input on the Sony and you should be good to go. And yeah, to cruise the internet you'd have to go through your computer.I no longer use this set in my main room but my son still loves it.

This particular model is not internet ready. I'm sure that Samsung has another model that would meet your needs, if amazon prime needs it. They're great TVs.

It might, but Google's Chromecast is probably a better device. I had all kinds of trouble getting this to work and eventually gave up. I also don't understand what you mean by the netflix comment. You do need to get the content from somewhere. If not from Netflix then from Hulu or Amazon Prime etc. This device (or Google's chromecast or any other device) certainly won't help you with *getting* the content, just casting it to a TV when you have it.

Yes, this Sony Blu-ray player will allow you to stream videos on Amazon Prime. Other online services are Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Vudu, Crackle and many more. -Ely

Yes. I have had a Roku for several years, and used primarily for Netflix. Now with the newer RokuHD and Amazon Prime membership, I can stream everything from Amazon that is available in excellent viewing quality.

Golfreak - Yes you can, however it's not exactly straight forward. This device connects your laptop to your television. So using your laptop & a service like Netflix or Hulu you can stream TV shows & watch them on your television. A more straight forward device would be the Roku XS or similar. With a device like the Roku you simply connect it to your TV and use an onscreen interface to select a service to watch TV shows. Note that the availability of shows differs by the provider; some services are free (Crackle) and some are not (Netflix, Hulu+ etc). I hope this helps!
