The problem with all these different services is the hassle of hunting them down. I just want a one stop shop

two things
– I have TiVo DVRs – so the cable company broadcast model is not broken for me and I still wtach what I wnat and when I want. I record mostly analog so I can do the where I want part as well. HD has hit my buyin point though so the were I want will not be from my own moving around of large HD files.

- Hulu was great and fun – but they turned their business model into a completely annoying one only on the PC – hardly a where I wnat option and with that restrictive nature already shown they are not getting any of my money.

Just bring it all to Roku and I will gladly pay a small fee to choose the channels that I want versus paying a big fee to watch what the cable providers decide and at the times that they decide.

I am not mad just a little sad. My WHS box can grab torrents automatically and those files of course are commercial free and not subject to any of the vagaries of streaming that Hulu is.

I love Hulu, just not enough to pay for it. If they had entire series worth of shows available at the press of a button then maybe, but not for what is available on it right now. Of course the Networks/Studios would never allow complete series on Hulu since then it would eat up their DVD sales.

Also, I do not want to get my online TV through Comcast, Verizon et al. I would much rather cut out the middleman and go to the Networks, or even the shows themselves, directly.
