I have Amazon Prime, and every week I get an email telling me about all the movies I can watch for free, but I've never been able to do that. It always gives me the rental fee.

Does anyone know how a Prime member can watch movies without paying for them?

They keep asking me to leave, and it's very annoying. I'll be watching a scary movie at 2:00 AM, and one of them will come down the stairs and tell me to get out.

Hide in the trunk and be very quiet til you get in. Then you can get out and watch the movie.

But I have to keep the volume up to get the full effect of their Surround Sound! It's great for watching war movies.

There is an amazon prime movie section you have to click there first, it's a lot of older movies and a lot I have never heard of before. When you are in the right section you will see rental and buy options the rental will be a zero amount.

Is that on TV or computer? I can get some free rentals on the computer, but the TV doesn't seem to know that they should be free. I just tried a rental on the computer, and it worked fine. I'll try it later on the TV.

I will ask my son...he has the same service...and he never pays to watch ANYTHING...I am surprised his little house is not surrounded by men in black saying " step away from the remote control slowly".

Good morning, Jerry. I have Amazon Prime and it works very well. You need a way to view movies on the tv. For example, I have Roku which is a little box that accepts Amazon's signal from the router and interprets it to the tv. Then you go to the movies section and there are hundreds of movies for free and you can also pay for "new" movies if that's what you want. With the box there are many other channels other than Amazon, you can watch, some of which are movie channels. There are News channels, documentary channels, religious channels, etc. Hope this helps.

You can get a Roku. Then every month there are new selections available. You pay for the Roku, then you add movie chanels (and others). Some are free, some charge. Lots to choose from. And you can show YouTube on it with an app for that. It's a very small box, you wouldn't even notice it. Costs about $60-$100 at Radio Shack.

We have a Roku on one TV, and we can watch Netflix with that. The other TV has TiVo, and that takes the place of Roku. There are half a dozen movies services we can subscribe to, but I don't want to be paying $100 a month to watch movies. For $16, I get Netflix DVDs and whatever I want to watch from the selections on their site.

We watch free movies frequently through the service. First - make sure you are logged on - it will have your name in the upper right corner. On the menu tab that says "Search" click on "Amazon Instant Video". The new screen will show that there are some 62,000 movies. If you go down and select the "Amazon Prime" tab, which lists 17,000 or so videos. you will then get the section that is the free movies. 17,000 should keep you busy!

Thanks. Is this on TV or computer? I'm going out now, so I'll take a look later.

On the computer. We have DISH-TV, and did figure out how to access both Netflix and Amazon Prime through our DVD player as well.
