During the Christmas season, Hulu ran a special where a person could get Hulu with commercials for $1.00\/month. Even though I had used Hulu before, in its infancy, I figured it was time to give it another go. Afterall, my cable bill is now approaching $200\/month including Internet. Personally, if I had 10 channels, I would be more than happy as everything my wife and I watch can be found on those 10 channels — especially if I can watch them whenever I want to.<\/p>\n

My thoughts so far? The picture is already much better than what I get from Spectrum. The audio is comparable at the very least\u00a0and in some instances, even better!\"\" It’s a bit getting used to the My Stuff area, but so far it has done a good job of collecting what I want to find. I’m used to using a DVR and having everything in a folder but ordered by Most Recent. Truthfully, I’ve not spent a lot of time to see if there is a way to set this or not. In any case, I don’t see any benefit of cable over Hulu or even some of the others I have seen mentioned, except for Sports.<\/p>\n

As long as I can see the Kentucky Wildcats play, I should be okay. I don’t watch them Live now, so it shouldn’t really matter. I’ll spend some time trying to find the options for this, and then I’ll make a choice. Another key will be if Jacque can find what she wants to watch as well.<\/p>\n
