My Roku does Amazon... did that change in newer models?

As far as I know it's Android that Amazon refuses to support for VOD (because they're trying to push their half-assed Kindle Fire line of Android knockoffs). Which is unfortunate because I had been a heavy purchaser of Amazon VOD season passes (not Prime)--back in the days before streaming you could set it up to auto download to TiVo as new episodes were released. Roku works great for viewing Amazon VOD.

Sadly not in the UK and I did trawl all the offerings on my Roku.

They support Android too. It works through the Amazon store app.
