Amazon and Select Vizio Blu-Ray Players

We received the following email just the other day regarding our Vizio Blu-Ray player.  We have used this device to access Amazon video services for many years, but unfortunately as of next month the app will no longer work for those purposes.  

Hello,
We're writing to let you know that the Amazon Video app will no longer be available on your 2011 and 2012 Vizio Blue-ray player afterSeptember 14, 2015.
This means you won't be able to stream movies and TV shows directly from the Amazon Video app on your 2011 and 2012 Vizio Blue-ray player. As we continually seek to improve our service,  this occasionally means we can no longer support certain devices or features.
You can continue to stream Amazon Video on hundreds of other devices, including newer Smart TV and Blu-ray models, Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Roku, game consoles, Android and iOS phones and tablets, and your computer's web browser.
You can learn more about compatible devices and register a new device at:

Sincerely,
Customer ServiceAmazon.com
Please note: this e-mail was sent from a notification-only address that cannot accept incoming e-mail. Please do not reply to this message.

 If you have a 2011 or 2012 Vizio Blu-Ray player that you use for Amazon you may want to check to see if you received a similar email.
