I will stick with Netflix because their customer service is outstanding.  If there are issues they rectify them immediately, no questions asked.  My only gripe would be is that there is no CC on streamed videos, which I need for the British period movies, etc.

Also, many of the networks offer current viewing of there most popular programs so why pay Hulu.  The commercials on both are annoying but only 1 or 2 minutes, way better than cable.

There is one major flaw that I can see with streaming movies. If your customer has DSL or slower movies take a long time to load. I can't even watch long Hulu clips on DSL with out all the buffering.

Granted I don't know what kind of profit margin Netflix gets for each type of movie delivery, but I would think would want to tailor their product for a wide variety of customers.

wow these posts are all over the place so here is my two cents.

Hulu has no streaming probs. You may tho depending on if you have a shared bandwidth connection or some other anomoly. My rural area now has dsl ( i got three megs) and Hulu hasn't stopped or buffered once and I watched all thirteen episodes of Warehouse 13 last year as they came out. I even paused them one night and picked up where I left off the next night. Your experience with buffering could be your computer busy with auto-updating or bandwidth traffic or lots of other reasons. Blaming Hulu sounds like your opinion not a fact.

Hey I was just sure that modern movies and new releases were going to be available somehow on the internet, right? That's where technology is now so I thought, right? No not right. New releases will be available nowhere, so don't think you be streaming them. You'll still have to go to the theatre or wait for the dvd for those. No streaming anytime soon so don't blame Hulu for that either. It looks like its going to be a while before movie theatres are obsolete.

I don't care for the ads either so I'm with you on that one; last year you could click to the end of the ad to bypass it but at least there is a 'doesn't apply to me' link so i choose the ads i can stomach. I'd be happy filtering out the enzyte commercials that you can't do with comcast or satellite.

Netflix isn't that great in my estimation either. I don't care to trade usps mail to watch a movie. I'll wait on streaming.

Then again I don't watch or need to watch that much tv or movies so for me being able to watch on my schedule is great. Since I haven't had a single connection problem with Hulu in the two years I've been able to watch what I want on my schedule I'll take the below bashing as rumor.

I'm on the free Hulu site now and again.  I'm not much of a TV show watcher at home so I don't see the point in paying $7.99/mo just to have access to a boat load of TV shows.  As far as I know, Hulu offers some movies but no where near the selection that NetFlix has and none are new releases. 

What am I missing here???

Question for Fozzie Bear?  4Netflix- Do I understand you right that you can get regular tv through this.  I have to have ABC so I get my favorite programs ( Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters, and Bachelor)  I also need American Idol which I think is on Fox.   Can you get these channels and how much is it a month?
