Have OTA antennas, Amazon Prime and firesticks. Going to be upgrading internet speeds further soon &, while not considering a cable contract, am considering additional feed(s) to have the world at the fingertips. The "Last Man Standing" thread got me thinking about Hulu again. I used to have a free membership, but I don't think they do anything free anymore. Thinking of the 1 month free trial for no commercials, $11.99/month. I know people tend to pick up, binge and cancel netflix, guessing it's the same for Hulu, but I want consistent availability of sports etc..

Hulu has a lot of content that I didn't have using Amazon Prime; however, I decided to cancel my free trial because the screen resolution on some shows sucked when viewed through my iPad. Also, I purchase shows and movies through iTunes but Hulu kept overriding my purchased content to stream it--causing issues with following along in Apple's TV app. Of course, these are very specific issues that I didn't want to deal with and you might not experience them. There's no harm in doing the no-commercial, free trial so see for yourself.

They open up Metronet over by you all yet?? I am going to give it a shot once they open it up over here since it is fiber to the house and not just fiber back. Or at least that is what the website claims. But to the original question. We watch a lot more Netflix than we do Hulu. We have Sprint cellphones so they provide our Hulu membership. Granted it has commercials but they are short and usually can opt to watch one long one at the beginning. Though I do want to start watching Last Man Standing. We will finish Season 2 of Shooter tonight so we’ll need a new show. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

Sony PSVUE- they have various packages and prices, but are over half the price of cable and have ALL of the sports channels. Also the advertised price IS the monthly price and you don't have an additional $20 in taxes and fees like cable. No contract so can cancel anytime, free dvr and can use it on up to 4 devices (tablets, streaming devices etc.) https://www.playstation.com/en...etwork/vue/channels/ | |||

Are you looking for Hulu with Live TV? If so, that starts at 39.99/mo. Read good things about it but decided to go with YouTubeTV. You do get access to the whole library plus live TV for the 39.99, so I guess if you're looking at the 11.99 Hulu, it's only 20 more to get live TV. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

Great info!! I'm planning to go to Metronet, but they aren't here yet. Sprint gives Hulu free? I'll have to look into linking my account then. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

i am watching hulu right now I just have the basic hulu with commercials. It is okay. I am catching up on the sitcoms i missed this week. What does make me upset is that they just changed the whole format, and it is a pain to scroll through now. I have had it for the past year and only watched it a dozen times. I am going to cancel it pretty soon just because I don't watch it. | |||

I got all three. Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. I like Hulu. I like options. $12/mo for commercial free tv. I'll take that allll day long. Looking forward to season 2 of "The Orville" also enjoyed the 6 seasons of the Amurican Top Gear (not as bad as folks say it was). If you only watch one episode watch the one in Cuba. Check out the super hottie starting the drag races! I've found on all the streaming services they are all trying to outdo one another and just pack it with content. That's fine, but the quality does suffer a bit. Even with all three services I'm still WAY under what my cable TV bill was... — Pissed off beats scared every time… - Frank Castle | |||
