Amazon Instant Video - Requirements

Requirements

Users of the streaming video on demand service need only a web browser with the Adobe Flash plugin to stream videos.

For transfer to portable device, the service requires the installation of a client application which manages playback and the transfer of video to portable devices that bear the Microsoft PlaysForSure certification, such as the Creative Zen or a Portable Media Center.

For use with a TiVo DVR, no client application is needed. The user only needs a broadband enabled (and connected) Series2 or Series3 DVR. DirecTiVo DVRs are not supported.

For use on Xbox Live the user needs broadband connected Xbox with Xbox Live Gold membership.

Sony BRAVIA TVs require an Internet Video Link to play Amazon VOD videos. Some models come equipped with this device; for other DMeX-capable models, a separate device must be purchased and installed.

Amazon VOD videos can also be played on Panasonic TVs with VIERA CAST, as well as on Samsung 650 series (pre-2011 models; not available on new Samsungs) and above HDTVs, as well as newer Vizio and LG TVs.
