    The Amazon episodes and movies you buy through Hitbliss can be watched on the Amazon app of your DVD player.

    Enter the Amazon app, it will ask for you to log in with your normal Amazon password (only have to log in once). Once you're in, select "Your Video Library", anything you bought on Hitbliss will be listed there.

    Edit: Do yourself a favor and make sure it's not already offered for free in the Amazon app on your DVD player before you go wasting time getting it from Hitbliss.

    In the Roku App all but the very last season of Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad (and lots of others) are free. It may be the same in your DVD player's app, especially if you're an Amazon Prime member.

    I'm kinda new at this. I am an Amazon Prime member but haven't signed up online for movies yet.

    Nothing to sign up for. Make sure you're logged into Amazon. When you are on the home page, the first department in the drop-down menu is "Amazon Instant Video." Select that. It will get you to all the video you can stream on Amazon, not just the free stuff.

    Search for a movie or a show or an actor in that department. On the side menu, select "Prime Eligible." That's the free stuff. You can watch it on your computer (which is what I do), download, send it to a Roku box, etc.

    There is some weirdness as some of the movies that show up won't fit your search (Cary Grant was not in My Man Godfrey or Sabrina.) You can refine it by selecting the name on a menu on the left but then you sometimes get things like "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" disappearing when you search for Hugh Laurie and then select his name.

    But you'll find tons of free stuff to watch.

    Good morning y'all

    Fran, it'll be pretty easy to register your blue-ray with amazon. I recently got a TV with wifi and had to register it for netflex, it was easy, all i had to do was go to the website on my computer, get a code and type it in on the TV. It was even easier for amazon because amazin only asked for a lgon on the TV.

    Deej, both the CA and CO bills are a mess. But it seems that age verification for CO *shouldn't* require face-to-face verification. That it may be somewhat easier to get around? Either way, we need to fight these tooth and nail.

    you can set up a watch list on your computer. depending on the software for a given player it should be accessible from the device. Every device type has a slightly different version of the amazon software. I can access my amazon watchlist from my ipad, but not from my TV. If I've paid for a movie, then it's accessible on the TV through my 'video library". The TV software is a bit kludgy.

    Fran, any movies or TV episodes you purchase online, whether directly from Amazon or through Hitbliss, will appear on you DVD player Amazon app under "Your Video Library" on the main menu.

    However, as you learn to Navigate your way around the app, you will also find that there is tons of stuff available that's already free since you're a Prime member.

    On the main menu there should be an option that just says "Amazon Prime", everything you find in there is available for free. Just like Netflix, you can hunt around in there and watch stuff as you find it or, as you find stuff add it to your "Watch List". Then at your leisure from the main menu select "Your Watch List" and go from there.

    On you main menu you should see (among other things):

    Your Video Library: = Anything you've purchased

    Amazon Prime: All free stuff from being a Prime Member

    Your Watch List: = Anything you've earmarked to watch later whether free or paid.

    You'll get the hang of it, it's not all that different from Netflix.

    Yeah, the CA bill would limit me to wholesaling into CA (if I read it correctly). For the business that's not necessarily a bad thing as wholesale orders tend to be easier to process. Sucks for individual customers though.

    It looks like a Skype session would satisfy Colorado's requirements quite handily, so that's not as much of a concern.

    Thanks Trav.:) Looks like I'll be looking for movies for my Watch List.
