Re: Compliment for Cable...

Sure if that floats your boat...

I'll take Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime over Cable any day.

you do know that Hulu, is owned by the cable companies..thats why I refuse to use them, suddenlink...comcast...others come to mind

I find Hulu to be a good value at $8 a month, same with $8 a month for Netflix and $80 a year for Amazon Prime...

However paying for Hulu and cable at the same time... That'd just be silly.

I find that spending $8 a month for Hulu far offsets just the time it would take to bother torrenting the shows that I watch. It's a convenience fee as far as I see.

I'm far more concerned with this turning into a forced package deal.
Much like ESPN on xbox live only works if you have a certain provider.

This is why people are big on open internet.

True, Suddenlink my provider, offers Hulu for free pretty much threw their Suddenlink2go ... kinda funny I must say, and very true, im open for it big time, these companies need to really change their act, cable is gone, my provider since about 3 years ago have been playin more commercials, more ads about their stuff, more night time sells than anything ive ever seen...and we pay for this crap..

why is it that cable companies think its ok to ruin the cable tv its self..., they brought it on them selves, I cant wait to see them as a dumb pipe, and they might end up packaging online tv later on and not offer cable tv at all..kinda hard to believe but possible

we will see what the next 5 years bring us, it will def be a turnin point..
