YES...

This was my problem with Hulu. The user interface was terrible. Honestly I preferred Netflix' old UI as well, but it is still tolerable at least.

I only had Hulu to watch Battlestar, but I got tired of having to remember which episode I last watched so I just outright cancelled. Oh well.

Oh yeah, commercials on Hulu as well annoyed the hell out of me.
For an extra $2 a month, you can go ad free...

My only complaint about Hulu is that it is pointless to have 4 months out of the year. During the summer there is no content worth paying for on there.

Is HBO on Hulu worth the extra 5/mo?

Anyone have it and can tell me how it works?

Unless you're into shows like America's Got Talent there is no good new content for months.

Great time to catch up on old school shows, if you're into that.

BUT - with Fox/FX, Disney and the like (and ending their contracts with streaming services), moving to create their own formats, Hulu and Netflix are going to lose a substantial amount of content that has been previously made available to them. WE WILL AGAIN be forced to "pick and choose..." and with the chord cutting that's happened in recent years in an effort to cut costs or whatever, we will once again have bloated TV budgets, or lose access content.

Disney owns a 30% stake in HULU.

How does Amazon compare?

Does anyone do Showtime through HULU? It looks like they are selling it as HBOGO, but I am not willing to pay the extra $14 a month just to find out that it isn't...

Yep, I wonder who pays for Showtime and HBOGO on any platform, not this guy. Not a good value IMO.

I prefer Sling over Hulu, because of the Redzone channel.

I agree, but Hulu is gaining. The Path, for example, is fantastic. And Handmaides Tale, while I don’t like it as much as others, is still very good.

And the fact that they have about half the shows I watch on their next-day viewing format makes them very convenient. Not needed, granted, but certainly added convenience.

Do you already have HBO? If not it sounds like a good deal. If you already have HBO through your provider or another device you already have access to all of their content. If you don’t, $5 for HBO is as cheap as you’ll ever pay for it.

But is it the full HBOGo or the pared down version that only has their antique library?

I don’t know. I didn’t know they had a stripped down version, so I just assumed it’d be the full on thing. When I had a Hulu live subscription I think HBO was $15, so it might not be.
