Netflix vs Hulu??

[patti4me]

We are thinking about giving up Directv as they have had another rate increase and its hard for us to justify spending over $100 for basic service (plus local channels).  We are kinda thinking about using Netflix or Hulu through the internet and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these that you could share with me.  I'm mainly concerned with watching series like Grey's Anatomy, CSI, etc. but of course movies would be a bonus.  Thanks for any input you have on this subject.

I like Netflix a lot better than Hulu.

I only had Netflix and enjoy watching it online and through my game console. I save a little money by signing up for 2 accounts...one for streaming only and I rent 2 DVD's a month, save a few bucks but if you are a big movie buff you may want the plan with all the perks...lol. I have one account under me and the other under my husband.

I don't care for Netflix.  I prefer Hulu.  Hulu has all kinds of classic television shows in addition to current shows.  Does that help?

I like Netflix better, I got Huluplus and it has a lot of really weird old movies and programs. One thing I like about Hulu is that you can see current programs. Like CSI and Grey Anatomy.

I like Hulu, but I like Netflix more. I was told that Hulu plus has commercials still and you can only watch the last five episodes of a series.

We have had Netflix for years, I have used both Netflix and Hulu. I like both, but i prefer Netflix!

Ok, so it seems like more people prefer Netflix over Hulu so far.  I appreciate your comments.  I also liked what Iguzman1 said about being able to watch current shows like CSI and Grey's Anatomy since those are 2 of my favorite shows.  Then, I just talked to my brother and he is crazy about Roku!  Just adds more confusion for me lol.

if you get a roku you can stream netflix with it as well as other services

Try a trial version of both & see which one you like.

Hulu shows commercials, they show tv programs the next day.  It's not real user friendly.  It is only geared for one person to view at a time, well one streaming device that is.   You can get HULU as a reward through Bing (sign up through FC & get FC credit)

Netflix just has movies & series. No commercials.  You can have multiple profiles with individual tastes, & watch multiple shows at once on different devices.  It has a nice layout, & is user friendly.

I have both.   I like both, but they are somewhat different.
I stream Hulu & Netflix to an old analog tv through a Roku, a Roku 1. It works great.     If you have a newer tv, you can just use an appleTV or a wii or a smartTV - I have all 3 of those on another 3 tvs.    Also you can use an XBox to stream.

I have Netflix, and it is so much better, because you can watch without commercials interrupting.
