Actually, how much do you or other people pay for cable? And how many commercials do you endure during a 1 hour show? With Hulu I see maybe 3 15-30 sec commercials in an hour.
I'd rather pay $7.99 than $60-$120+ for cable.
Sure, who wouldn't? But that was my point. Personally, I don't pay for cable right now. I have access to shows such as Scrubs, House, Lost etc via downloading. I can hook my MacBook Pro's up via HDMI and stream, or I can hook my external HD's up directly to my tv and play .avi files.
I agree that the number of commercials is less offensive, but I guess where I'm coming from is that I'm used to paying for premium services online to get RID of the commercials and ads. Which brings us to your next point:
All seasons of Lost are available as well as many other shows and seasons not available for regular Hulu of other shows and the selection keeps growing.
Really? Then Hulu isn't very good at advertising this. I was just at the hulu plus site, and looking through the selections and did not see what you just described. Is it possible that they don't even allow one to see their entire "Plus" catalog? If that's the case, stupid. They should show people what they're missing, if it's such a drastic comparison.
Oh and you can't get HD with regular Hulu but you can with Plus and the quality is better than Netflix.
Could be a good thing or could be a so so thing. What is the HD output, 720 and 1080? One would need a fairly stable and fast connection for this in order to not get any halts etc.. I'm not saying most people's connections couldn't handle it, but it's still a factor.
Oh and I can also watch Hulu Plus on my Samsung TV (without the hassle of needing to hook up my laptop), iPad, and iPhone.
Yeah now that's cool. I wanted to get a set which did that, but couldn't find one that played nicely with both Hulu And Netflix at the same time, as well as having an USB port for divx/avi playback. One day I'll likely go that route though, when these lawyers finally stop messing stuff up (see: dropping off the face of the earth) and let us have everything in one package.
Probably best as I've never seen anyone so dramatically negative towards things they don't like.
I confess. I do it all for you Schwebb. The entertainment value in watching you get all riled up over my sentiments, is far better than anything one could possibly hope to see on tv, Hulu OR Netflix.
Whaddia say you send me an invite to Hulu Plus, now that we're on the subject?

Edit: Looked through the "Plus" availability again, and NO... they do not have every episode of Lost. They still only have 5 seasons. Same thing with House. One season, 7 episodes. That's a fail to me. I would pay expecting them to host every available season of said shows since they're already out on DVD. Otherwise, what content are you really paying for, which you can't download elsewhere ?
<--- This lack of 2 or 3 shows is the only thing holding me back from ditching my cable at the moment.
