Does Amazon Instant Video work with the Sharp LC-60UQ17U 60-inch Aquos Q?

Previous answer may be correct, I can not confirm. I do know there is no app for or from Amazon, which is unfortunate for such a quality panel.

two of my sisters have that TV and yes Amazon Prime Instant Video will stream through it but there is no application inside the TV. you have to use a blu ray dvb, Apple streamer or Ruko but it will look beautiful

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.

Yes, I checked the Amazon app on mine and it does have Amazon instant video.

It's functioning on my set. EDIT: APPARENTLY there are a few different firmware versions on these sets...mine is E550i-b2 V 1.16.47.0758. Some sets have E550i-b2 V 1.25.24.0234. My opinion is that this is causing a lot of problems in the tv enthusiast community. It's possible that Amazon Instant Video is NOT working on both firmware versions, as some are still reporting it isn't functioning. Vizio is NOT offering a firmware update at this time, so as far as I know, you are stuck with what firmware version you get....for the time being.

Sharp tells me that they have problems with Warner Bros discs and are working on new firmware to fix the problem. A Warner Bros marketing person in LA sent me a Harry Potter Blu-Ray to test, and it too was rejected as incompatible. The player handles old DVDs and those I make myself. But then we have you and others who've posted and tell me that Planet Earth is fine on their Aquos player. So maybe the problem is the unit. I'll eventually find out and let everyone know.

It does support Amazon Instant Video. BUT, the smart application for this TV is outdated, does not contain Wishlist access, or the better/ newer user interface that other TVs do (like Samsung) .

It works great with my Sharp Aquos 70 inch LCD. Connects to a 3.5 mm audio output jack on back of TV.

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

Don't know about the LC model. These glasses use IR to talk to the TV. Some newer models (including the Sharp AN3DG40) use bluetooth instead. So if your manual talks about "pairing" then it expects the bluetooth version.

Final answer, yes it does. I purchased 3 of these, all of which work with many sharp TVs. Also, I can use my MILs (mother-in-laws) antique sharp remote and IT does work with my Aquos TV, LOL>

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

I purchased the reomote on line and it worked for me and I have a Aquos TV as well. I believe you will be fine.

Yes. I happen to have a Sharpe Aquos myself and it works perfectly. It will in fact work on any TV, PAL or NSTC and it all switches automatically and seamlessly. I see no difference if I am watching a DVD from the UK or from Japan or from the USA, they all play at the same high quality. Hope this helps.

Rory Craft, Yes, The Amazon Instant Video App is available on this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung Blu-Ray players. --Mr. S

from what I can tell, it doesn't - it's not on the list for Amazon Instant Video. You'll need to get a different BlueRay player. Note - I have the same problem. I thought it would work - it should since it's wireless, but players have to have some sort of protocol to protect movies from being copies as they're streamed. Those are the only devices allowed for AIV. Sucks, doesn't it?
