The commercials hurts Hulu to me otherwise I'd probably lean that way. Though Netflix has movies, they do not have a very good selection nor do they have many releases as far as their online content.
Netflix does have a lot of shows, but they do not have current seasons, only past seasons. Overall, my preference would be Netflix, but it's certainly debatable.

I agree with what the others said. I paid for Hulu for a month and the commercials were the killer for me. For example, if you watch an hour long program like CSI or NCIS on demand or on Netflix, the run time is 42 minutes. Well, to watch the same hour long program on Hulu, the run time is around 53 minutes. They use the commercial breaks to run the same damn minute or so long commercial each time. After you see the same ad for the 5th time during your program you will want to tear your hair out.
Plus it's a great way to watch series that have been off the air for years and aren't in syndication. The movie selection on streaming is meh.
you might want to support them, their stock has about tanked.
Down more than $200 over the last 9 months.
Somethings gottachange.

I live in Starkville, I refuse to pay Metrocast money, and my landlord doesn't allow satellite dishes. I am getting AT&T high speed internet installed and plan to choose between Hulu Plus and Netflix (or maybe subscribe to both, given how much cheaper it is than a DVR cable package).
That leaves sporting events. As a Braves fan, I'm pretty sure MLB.TV will blackout the Starkville market (it did on the free preview at least). Anybody got any pointers?

interested in. After that, it is a waste of money because they are really slow at adding halfway decent movies in and you rarely see a good movie added. A while back they upped the price and gave literally nothing more to the customers, but promised that streaming was going to get bigger. Now apparently they have been having hangups which has caused the streaming service to not take that step forward. I read a article a few weeks ago talking about this and how there is no better outlook in the near future. That lead to tank in stocks karlchilders was talking about.
If I were you, I would go Netflix, and catch up on shows and movies, then you will and realize that you never use it anymore. When that happens, cancel it and get Hulu Plus to get up to date. Not much you can do with a lot of premier shows like The Walking Dead, Dexter, Game of Thrones as they are not up to date on either service (that I know of). I think you can watch the first season of The Walking Dead on Netflix now though.

Landlords can deny any installation that is destructive (including drilling), or dangerous (overhanging a walking area), and can demand a dish be placed in a different location as long as the signal is unaffected.
Though if you live in an apartment without an easy unobstructed view of the sattelite (just west of due south), it may not be worth it. or maybe you can get the dish company to cover it with a contract.
Of course if he cares about it so much he could always raise your rent until you leave, among other childish revenge actions. Fair warning.
For informing you of this i think i should get a referral, should you choose DirecTV.
ETA: I'm pretty sure this applies to house rentals as well, though not 100% sure. am also pretty sure that if you don't have an official lease, then it wouldn't apply.

Even with the loss of customers and cancellation of some services by a lot of folks, they are still making more money. Netflix will be fine.
but following the pricing/service adjustment fiasco from last year, I fully believe that they've prospered in spite of their CEO, not because of him. First, the way that the entire thing was handled was downright awful for a company of its size. Second, the letters that the CEO sent out after the fact and the backtracking had a completely juvenile feel to it. I can remember one where he apologized to all customers and said that he "assumed" that market research had taken place prior to the changes or he may have even just said that he hoped it had. It was unbelievable and I began to understand how something like that could have easily taken place is the CEO is that disconnected.
Anyway, I still think Netflix is great but I severely question their leadership.

I know they can make you screen it/hide it, but IIRC they can't ban them.
HOAs do sometimes have ridiculous powers though.

In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted rules
for Over-the-Air-Reception Devices (“OTARD” rules). The OTARD rules
prohibit restrictions on a property owner or tenant’s right to install,
maintain or use an antenna to receive video programming from direct
broadcast satellites (DBS), broadband radio services (formerly referred
to as multichannel multipoint distribution services or MMDS) and
television broadcast stations (TVBS). However, there are exceptions to
the OTARD rules, including provisions for safety and preservation of
historic areas.</p>
The FCC later amended the OTARD rules to apply to rental property
where the renter has exclusive use of an area, and to customer-end
antennas that receive and transmit fixed wireless signals.</p>
