My new LG TV came with Amazon Instant video. Has anyone had luck adding Amazon to this Bluray player?

No, I've had mine for most of the year. It came with an Amazon icon on the premium tab, along with Netflix, Vudu, etc. When you clicked on the Amazon icon a screen message popped up explaining that Amazon would be available in a future update. A month or so later I got a message about updating the firmware and let it do that. After that there was no longer any Amazon icon at all. There has been two more updates since then and still no Amazon Prime. There is probably a conflict between LG and Amazon since they both want to sell content and apps.

I have this TV and do watch Amazon Instant on it since I have 'Prime'. I have never been impressed with Amazon's interface (not Vizio's fault), but it does work, and there is a button on the remote control for it.

Hello L. Lyons. Unfortunately this Blu-Ray Player (the VBR220) doesn't support Amazon Instant Video. So far as I can tell it only supports Netflix and Vudu.

I too saw on the LG site that this was an Amazon rather than LG decision. Really disappointing - I'm coming up on renewal time for my Amazon prime and may just op for Netflix instead, where I don't have to buy extra equipment.

As far as I've been able to find out. You cannot get amazon movies using this player. I know there are quite a few movie apps including Netflix & Blockbuster and some others, but Amazon is definitley not one of them. Hope this helps.

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 called their customer service on 12/22/12 and was told that LG is working on the App software for amazon instant video for my 47lm7600 model. The impression I got from the conversation was that most if not all of the smart tv's will have this updated in the future. He couldn't tell me exactly when. Right now this feature isn't available on any LG tv if I understood him correctly.

Yes. You can get Amazon Instant Videos right on the TV as long as you have an internet connection. It works great. I use it all the time.

Unfortunately, no you can't, it comes loaded with Hulu Plus, Netflix, Pandora, VuDu, CinemaNow, Viewster, NO Amazon Prime.....The LG TV's have Amazon Prime, not the BluRay player.....

Not working on my set, so I must have the funky firmware version. But I can still get the Amazon content on this set via my old Roku. The box shows Amazon icon, the TV remote has an Amazon button, the Smart TV Menu at the bottom of the screen has an Amazon selection, but the button sends you to a black screen and selecting the icon from the on-screen menu results in a message that Amazon content is not currently available but that they are working on it. I'm sure I could take it back to Costco, but it is a great TV otherwise, and I have the Roku workaround.

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.
