I would suggest trying a free demo period (if they still have those), or going with one of the lowest membership packages for a month or two to see how you like it. Canceling the service is easy (we had to cancel a few years back, and there was no hassle), or you can put your account on hold for a while, should you need to walk away temporarily.
Yes, I did see some tv show/season listing on my son's roku when he had it hooked up and yes they do have a 30 day trial if you want to go that way. I'm still pondering here which if any to try....hulu plus, Netflix, wait on Google TV, etc. etc.

I couldn't live there, because it's missing one two things I require: mountains and ocean. And I have to tell you, there's no ocean anywhere in sight. I need the salt air.
Well, at least I'm not going to be flooded when the Arctic Melts due to global warming!

We decided not to pay for Hulu, it just doesn't seem worth it at the moment. Now if they carried a full season of episodes at a time (instead of 4 or 5 epis) we might consider, but not right now.

I'm not familiar with Google TV, guess I have some research to do this weekend.

Google TV was just announced a month or so ago, very limited info available at the moment. There is also Apple TV and others. See this thread I just discovered: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=107034

You didn't miss much. Germany are notoriously dubbing every television program they broadcast. Don't think you can see a single program without it being dubbed.
