Hulu Plus: My 5 Minutes as a Member
I am an avid television watcher. I love my TiVo, I love my iPod Touch, I love my Netflix, and I love my Roku. So, when I heard that Hulu, the most popular hub of ad-supported online television streaming, was releasing a subscription service it did get me interested. Perhaps this was the final blow in the cable companies hold on us all? When I heard that it was coming to the Roku Player I became even more excited that I could stream it right on my television. And - when I heard they lowered their subscription fee to $7.99 (to match the Netflix streaming only number) and they were letting you have a free preview week - I knew that I had to jump on and try.
I jumped off five minutes later. Seriously.
