For my money, the value in Hulu Plus is the myriad of shows that are available for streaming 24 hrs (or a few days or even week) after they first air on network TV. Everybody's perception of value differs, of course, but I see it as a fairly even trade: Netflix -- no commercials, but year(s) old episodes ... Hulu Plus -- commercials, but yesterday's episodes. That, and I'm discovering that the "
commercials are to be avoided at all costs" bug seems to have skipped me. *shrug*
I use them all (including Amazon Prime Video) fairly equally (of course I have no cable/satellite bill, so less than $30 bucks a month for my TV entertainment is still pretty cheap in my book).
