I suspect if they had had the TV store the login (which wasn't done according to the most recent post), they wouldn't have had to re-enter their username and password.

The Roku would do the same thing if you hadn't saved your login. Pretty much every set-top device I can think of shows what letter/number you typed with the remote for a second before hiding it. Not an Amazon issue, it's how these boxes & smart TV's work.

IIRC, the Roku channel uses a reverse activation rather than username / password login. You activate / authorize the channel on Roku from the Amazon site using a device ID.

My bad. Must have been thinking about my blu-ray player or Boxee. I know Vudu on my Roku was just username & pw as were many other channels. I think Netflix was an activation code too IIRC.

No Netflix is log in and so is Hulu but Amazon apps are different.

I've got so many devices I can't remember what works where apparently. I know one of my devices used a code for Netflix, maybe it was the Wii. Amazon on my Blu-Ray player is an email/pw I just checked.

lol yeah I know what you mean. The Wii is device code as that's how we found NetFlix then upgraded to a Roku. It seems when the firmware updates the app we have to reauthorize that app each time on the Roku.

The blu-ray players that I have had have been activation for Netflix, not login. (Oppo, and before that, Samsung)

It varies by device. On the Roku it's log in on NetFlix and Hulu Plus but Code for Amazon Instant video and Amazon Cloud Player.

This is amazin if you have more than one Kindle in the family.

Just put the kids inside Kindle FreeTime and the only content they have access to is content you specifically feed into their accounts.

The are two versions of FreeTime - free and paid. The paid version includes premium content (books, apps, videos). The free version just includes the controls. You add your own content.
