Cut Cable, have netflix, wondering should I add Hulu Plus to the arsenal?
Is Hulu Plus worth it?

Naw man. Some shows are put on there like 2 weeks after they air, they have ads, and rarely even have the complete series for shows. I'm using my friends sister's account and it honestly sucks for free lol. If I were you, I'd throw someone who had it like $30 for their account info.

I tried Hulu Plus on 3 separate occasions and always canceled it.
I just don't get how you pay a monthly subscription and have commercials but yet still not have complete seasons of popular shows.

Yea man, the ads kinda kill it for me.
Strange, I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. I'll love to watch it from beginning to end.

Honestly cutting cable doesnt make monetary sense to me. If yo do the math you're going to still need high speed internet access. You can get cable for like 30+40 a month. If you negotiate with your cable company you can get a lot of stuff waived. for 122 before taxes I get digital cable, whole house dvr, 2 boxes, 45 mbit internet, hbo, showtime, starz, encore, cinnemax. If i got just cable alone Id probably be paying 60-70 a month. Add the value of having on demand access its worth having and cutting other spending than not having.

There's a similar theead about cutting the cord. You should all be looking into xmbc for free streaming content (live tv and on demand)

I pay comcast 70 bucks for 50mbs and I pay 7 bucks for Netflix so thats 77 a month.
The MIN comcast cable plan that isnt basic cable that I can get free would be like 129 for 12 months then go up to 160+ THEN you have to pay taxes plus a fee for a box in each room. I`m saying 50-90 bucks cutting the cord, if I paid for cable I`d be paying almost 200 bucks to watch 3-5 channels 2-3 times a week.

Try calling them and talking it out. With my new service I was able to get out of a lot of fees by just talking, they were literally giving a lot of stuff away for free. Comcast is a bad customer service company but see what happens when you call retention. Also after the 12 months you can do the same thing again and threaten. From AT&T i got my box fees waived (8 per box), install fee waived (around ~200) and all other equipment fees waived. Also they stacked a whole bunch of promos on it. I think its easier to get this done with AT&T because they outsource some of their sales like they do wireless but a call to retention to most services usually can get you something. Im getting a lot of savings from getting the premium channels for free and I doubt comcast would offer that but see if uverse is offered in your area and shop around you never know what deal you can get.

here's the thing, even if the were offering me 200 channels for 20 bucks a month, why would I pay 20 bucks a month to watch 5 channels, when I can see the same content free online with internet I`m already paying for?

You have to figure HBO alone is valued at 20 a month alone. that + hbogo access is a value. Same with subscribing to ESPN, with watchespn access that has to have some type of value. I have netflix and its more of a rip off than cable imo. You could just max out your internet and download everything but legally that wouldnt be allowed. I think there is some value for live content over ondemand content like hulu and netflix. They dont really offer anything that you cant get with the internet, with cable you have access to many live streams at peak quality + the on demand catalog of current shows.
If you could get cable + HBO, Showtime, Starz + On Demand of your cable shows for 30 a month wouldnt that be a better deal that netflix + hulu plus?

maybe HBO is worth that much to you, but paying a dub to be able to watch 1-2 shows on a channel once a week seems pretty dumb to me. Cable needs to be ala carte, 5 bucks a channel make your own line up.

If you have netflix or hulu you should definitely add onhttp://www.unblock-us.com/ It's $5 a month but it opens up the options of what you can watch on netflix. You can watch netflix from all over the world, even works with xbox. The benefit is that other regions have more streaming options, Canadian Netflix craps all over the US version.

I tried Hulu+ for a couple months last year to catch up on some Ken Burns documentaries & a couple other shows. After I was done, I canceled because past seasons of shows aren't archived on there and most network shows are limited to watching on your computer. I watch a lot of stuff on my old Wii & smart TV and most of the stuff I wanted to watch was still blocked. Bottom line, I was going to be paying $8/mo. for no added value.
