Can I access channels like Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Videos, Huluplus, etc.?

The answer appears to be no. WHY, IN GOD'S NAME no one seems to be able to figure out that I -- and I'm betting lots of others -- don't want to have three freaking different devices for handling streaming media, locally stored media, AND disks (i.e., DVDs, BRs) is beyond me. Everyone tackles ONE part of the damned problem, and totally ignores the other two.

You can access you tube and a few other. Services, not Netflix or Amazon. It is terrific at playing video files from a hard drive or streamed from your base computer. You can insert a hard drive inside of it as well as plug in 2 other hard drives and a flash drive. If you want to access netflix, amazon, spot iffy, etc., your best bet is roku 3 which is the most perfect device ever made for streaming video, music, or anything. There is no competition. I have them all, trust me!

Yes, provided you are a paid subscriber to "Netflix." The newer Sony Televisions have built-in applications that allow you to connect to a variety of on-line services including, but not limited to Sony's own Entertainment networks that includes video, music, and movies available, in addition to on-line services like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc. Of course you will need to have a home wi-fi network and pair your TV with the network, but that is easy to do. These days most video equipment comes with built in apps. Personally, I can reach Netflix through my Blu-ray Player, my Sony T.V., or my Apple TV. They all have many on-line app portals and you'll never use all of them, at least, I don't even come close.

Yes! You can watch US channels by pre-loaded world-live-tv app or youtube. And you can also find other more TV/Movie apps to install from the Android martkets like google play.

I haven't checked re Amazon Prime and Pandora, but it does include Netflix, which I've used. The interface for the various apps works well and is reasonably intuitive.

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

You would need PlayON to watch Hulu and CBS. Right now it can only do Flickr, YouTube, Pandora, etc.

Unfortunately, you can not. I am using features like Amazon Prime video by using my PS3. Or you can get something a little more affordable like a Roku. If you are not a gamer consider a Roku. I would recommend a Roku 2 or if you can spare a few bucks get the Roku 3. It has wifi, 1080p and Amazon Prime. Also has Netflix and other services and games than will keep the user busy for a long time. I hope this answers your question.

Those apps are loaded onto Roku but you have to have an account to access them. Or you can sign up directly from the roku

Yes, there is an app for Netflix in the Store. As for Amazon Instant Video, you can stream it directly from internet explorer.

I truly hate when people provide uninformative, useless answers to questions. YES, it will let you watch Amazon Prime movies, including the free movies and TV shows available from the Amazon Prime subscription: I know, I use it. The built-in Primetime app integrates Netflix and Amazon (and Google Play videos and Redbox and your cable/satellite TV) into one app that is really a pretty nice way to see everything you have available through one app.

Yes and no. There are numerous channels that you can watch on your Roku for free. Some of the best are Crackle, Pandora and the Smithsonian Channel. Hulu Plus, Netflix and Amazon Prime each require a paid subscription. However, in the case of Amazon, if you have previously purchased digital content from them, you can access it via your Roku for free either through Amazon Instant Video or the Amazon Cloud Player.

You can do hulu, vudu, netflix, pandora, cinema now, youtube, flingo, and rhapsody. You can also do social media (twitter, flickr and facebook.) I do not see Amazon instant video as an option.

Yes however, you must subscribe to your choice of hulu, netflix, and Amazon if you are willing to pay less then 10 dollars per month. The T.V. comes with a free Netflix membership. Also, if you are an Amazon Prime member you have free access to their video library. I do not have cable or sattlite instead, I get my local channels with an antenna and pay $7.99 for hulu. Hope this helps.

No. Netflix & Vudu for online services. (Also, I may be wrong if Amazon prime will load movies into your Vudu account).
