Hulu Plus: Hands-On With the iPhone, HD and More [REVIEW]
Hulu Plus is a breakthrough service for people who want to completely abandon traditional television in favor of an Internet (Internet)-based alternative, but there are a few things holding it back for some picky users. We spend the weekend watching items in Hulu Plus’s library on multiple devices, and our impressions are generally positive, although there are a few kinks to work out.
Not every complaint about Hulu Plus is a kink, of course. Some people will say that they refuse to pay a monthly subscription fee for ad-supported content on principle. We’ll talk a bit about what reasonable expectations should be there, but needless to say, if you feel strongly enough about the principle, Hulu Plus isn’t for you and none of its features will change your mind.
But if you’re open to Hulu Plus if the features are strong enough, we can help you figure out whether it’s worth signing up once the service goes live to the public. Once you’ve signed up for Hulu Plus, you’ll see all the features and content on the website alongside the free content you were getting before. It’s not just partitioned off on its own site, although you can access a list of premium content at the Plus website.
In addition to the ability to watch Hulu on several new devices, you’re paying for two things: an increased library of TV episodes, and the ability to stream them in 720p high definition on supported devices, including the web player.
