Order Amazon movies from N800?
 
I used to order movies from Amazon Unbox from my N800 fairly frequently, but awhile back they switched the interface for ordering videos to be completely Flash and if I try to order a movie I'm told I need to install Flash 9. Is this something I can install on the N800?

It would be even more helpful to order movies from the N800 now, as I like to order from work so they will be finished downloading by the time I get home, but we have Flashblock installed on all the machines in the office, so I can't order from them either.

*Just to be clear, I want to order from the N800, but have the movie downloaded to a TiVo. I'm not trying to watch the actual movie on the N800.

The quick viable option would be to VNC to a pc in your home and order it from that pc's browser.

Not a good option for me because

1) I haven't ever been able to get VNC to work from the office. I think they have some ports blocked on the router?

2) Even if they did, I generally leave my computer off during the day when I'm not home. No sense burning electricity just on the off chance that I might want to rent a movie.

I appreciate the suggestion though.

BTW, it turns out that Flash had been turned off completely on my N800 somehow, after turning it back on it no longer tells me that I need Flash 9, now it just tells me that my Flash Player is too old. :(
