Who has HuluPlus or Netflix?

[BeerAdvocate]

Im thinking about one or both of these, more for the tv shows than the movies.
What are your thoughts on either HuluPlus and/or Nextflix streaming?

I've never used Hulu but I have had Netflix for a few years now. They usually have a turnaround time of 2 days for their dvds and bluerays. The streaming selection is pretty good too. All of the major gaming consoles have the ability to access netflix and stream it directly to your tv.

:tpd: My Blu-Ray player, Mac, and Windows based laptop can access it as well. I am now down to the 1 DVD at a time plan. I do it mostly for the streaming and find it worthwhile.

I had Hulu plus... what a waste... The commercials bugged me and it was buggy as heck on my ipad. Maybe it is better now, they cut the price, but just not worth it since it didn't even include the regular hulu catalog as part of it. That might have changed, but netflix is a better deal for me.

I'll let you know in about a month as I about to buy a Roku and get both and try them out for the free month and then depending on how annoying the commercials are on hulu i'll either ditch it or keep it.

Netflix is great!

[joeobx]

I have a Mac Book pro, will that work for Net flix or am I better off getting something else ?

[jimmyk26]

I have them both and honestly I use netflix more but my wife loves all of her shows on hulu on her ipad so we will keep both. It also makes watching hulu a lot easier since we can stream right from our ps3.

I have both and they are good for different reasons. If I had to choose i would go with Netflix based on the amount of content available. Hulu is great for new shows but it is hard to fast forward/reverse and many of the shows you find on Hulu online are not available streaming. However HuluPlus still contains more content than I would ever have time to watch.

Netflix is definitely worth it. I don't know about for TV shows as I personally like to sit down and watch the entire season in one sitting. But they seem to get the shipping down real fast my parents go through crazy amounts of movies. In fact one just came in the mail today.

Netflix here, love it. I have the one DVD option, and also stream a lot on my ROKU. Between Pandora, Realradio, and Netflix(and possibly MLBtv) I don't need Hulu- but now that the "c" word was mentioned, I KNOW I won't use it!

[staminator]

A friend of mine has Netflix and gave me access to his online account. Streaming is great. I have only very rarely had buffering issues, and it certainly is to blame on my ISP.

[jitzy]

I love netflix, I stream it to my mac, xbox, ps3, wii, iphone and roku player hands down one of the best things out there.

[CigarNut]

I have Netflix and it's great with one exception -- many of the newer movies are not available for instant download, which is kind of a drag.

Netflix ftw!

[MiamiE]

I use Netflix through my Xbox.

I have had Netflix for a while and love it. Its not perfect, but for the price its worth it.
I have the 1 disc a time unlimited and if you watch the movie within a day or two you will have a movie a week roughly.


A couple of things that bother me, not the end of the world but...

It seems like new release movies are taking forever to get released to Netflix. It has slowed down the last year for sure.
Streaming issues, I started to watch the Heroes and when I got to the fourth season it said for two of the episodes it was DISC only... WTF!?
I haven't noticed anything in 5.1 surround either. Maybe what I'm watching is only in stereo??


I looked into Vudu and you pay more, but you get more. so... It all depends on what you are happy with.



No experience with Huluplus.

Last year Netflix made an agreement with Fox to release new movies later than they appeared in stores in exchange for Fox giving Netflix more online content. This happened about the time Avatar was to be released to DVD. I would imagine they have this agreement with other studios as well.
