I just signed up for Amazon Prime and need help from the wise peeps on his board. I know I can download movies and stuff, but how do I do it on my tv? I have a Samsung tv with smart hub but can't figure out how to get the movies on my tv. Can anyone help?

You have to download Amazon Prime to your TV. I have a roku box so I am not really sure how to do it on your television. There should be an Amazon app looking thing, I would think on your smart hub.
At any rate, let me know when you get it downloaded I can give you a whole list of awesome shows to watch. I love Amazon Prime!

DF has a smart Samsung TV. You just have to go to the apps section. I can get Amazon, Netflix, etc there. Not sure if he had to do an initial download.

Wvu - we tried to download the app in the smart hub, but couldn't get it to recognize Amazon. We do have Roku, so we're able to get it via Roku. Any suggestions for tv shows and movies? We have Netflix so have been watching a bunch of shows and movies on that.

We have a Roku tv and before that had a roku box. That's all I know for setting up streaming apps on tv! Haha
Prime is awesome! There are so many good shows!
Prime original shows we are watching/have watched:
Catastrophe
Mozart in the Jungle
Man in the High Castle
Transparent
Good Girls Revolt (pissed it was canceled!)
Red Oaks
Flea bag
One Mississippi
Alpha House
I've also rewatched the entirety of Parks and Rec on Prime.
:-)
Between Prime and Netflix we've binged many a tv series. Just added Hulu to the mix this week!

We have appletv and watch Amazon prime through that.
We've watched Suits, Curb your enthusiasm, Entourage, old season of survivor. You could realistically get by with just that.

I tried Red Oaks and Flea Bag but had a hard time getting into those. Maybe I should give it another try. I tend to drop things fairly quickly if they don't catch me right away. Between Amazon, Netflix and Hulu I just have so much to choose from. I just started watching Alpha House and love it! |

I can't wait for last season of Suits to be released on Amazon. I watched all 8 seasons of Entourage in no time - LOVE IT! |

Of course it was a man who canceled because he didn't like it. |

I've used Netflix more than Amazon. I'm usually watching network TV shows that I'm far behind on. I have used Amazon more for movies than shows. At my house I use the Wii. DF used his PlayStation before getting the smart TV.
