Are you a Hulu Premium subscriber? Is it worth it?

    It's called Hulu Plus, Michael.

    I don't have any TV input into my actual television, so everything I watch on TV comes in via the Internet. Regular Hulu you can pipe from a Mac Mini or other device to a TV, but I don't have a Mac Mini and hooking up a MacBook to the TV didn't really do much.

    Pros: At $8 month, you have access to a tremendous volume of television. I can watch all 13 episodes of Law & Order SVU. No more waiting for them to rerun on the USA network! And, most of FOX, ABC and NBC's content is available. The biggest is, of course, that I'm watching on TV instead of on my tiny laptop. HD, if you care about that, is another benefit.

    Cons: There are still ads. Some shows have a "you can only watch this on the Web" restriction. Why? I don't know. But it's annoying. And even though it's NBC, it's not all of NBC/Universal. BRAVO shows, for example, are pretty limited.

    Ultimately, for $8 a month, it's a pretty sweet deal for "cord cutters". If you have regular TV and/or DVR, I'd probably skip it.
