Hulu Plus Versus Netflix--And the Winner Is...


When Netflix raised its prices last summer I was pissed and promptly canceled my membership. I showed them.

Since then, I tried out Hulu Plus.  It also provides movies and TV programing streaming on the Internet, which I can watch on my television with the help of my Roku machine.

I have to say that I wasn't all that happy with the Hulu. The programming was OK, but the big problem is the ads. You are forced to watch commercials every few minutes, often the same commercials over and over. It gets old.

Since they are the same price ($7.99) for their streaming service, today I re-signed up for Netflix (no commercials). I can forgive and forget. I am not getting the DVDs in the mail; just the streaming movies and TV.  We've spent most of the day watching stuff on Netflix. So far so good. They have the first season of Louie. It is hilarious. We also watched Breakfast at Tiffany's.  Both Shane and I recently read the novella. It was interesting to see the differences in the movie and the book.
