I wish they'd have the [old] History Channel catalogue on there, I remember there was this awesome doc on The Flying Tigers I saw years ago that I've never found since then.
Hulu is the best since it's free.
Now I just need for it to stop skipping every 30-40 minutes, which then also results in the player being unable to resume where it left off. The page needs to be reloaded completely, and then manually seek to where it skipped.Amazon Prime keeps getting better and better.
Cable companies are going to have themselves a real royal shit-fit soon. Guess what, we don't need cable TV anymore. The network we've gone and built up can quite possibly handle lots of video data. (FIOS everywhere.)Grr... why isn't all of this content on Netflix as well?? I wish that all of the online TV watching services could share this content, so I could finally drop my cable subscription.
Of course, it will probably never happen just for that very reason. The cable companies simply own too many channels of their own, and they want to protect their revenue streams.
I dropped Hulu+ after I saw commercials. Fuck Hulu. My question is when will Amazon make an app for the XBOX???
Most of the good stuff is on Hulu Plus, especially if it's older than 5 shows ago. Trying to watch a show that you've missed all season is impossible. Then you pay more than Amazon Prime or Netflix and still have to sit through shitty commercials.
I'm less than impressed with Hulu Plus right now. :\
It's unfortunate that the Amazon Instant Video interface sucks donkey dong. Especially on the Roku.
I started out my cablelessness with the series of Stargate:SG1 on DVD. Over 9000 hours of commercial-free widescreen TV, for about $100....
I haven't had any regrets dropping cable and don't miss it. It is kind of nice catching up on an entire series that you missed and watching episodes back to back. I have a nice backlog of BBC's Top Gear, Breaking Bad, etc. to catch up on.
You already sort of can http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/xbox
how would I get this Amazon to my roku 3 and where and how to signup so that I can watch discovery channels including Animal Planet
Good necro...
Pretty sure Roku 3 streams Amazon you'd just have to make sure its up dated and navigate to the Amazon option.
You need Amazon Prime to stream this content -- and likely be in the U.S.
Same$8/month Netflix
$12/month Hulu
$79/year Amazon
And I have yet to run out of things to watch.
Hah, reading those old posts thinking they were current is pretty amusing. I was going to say "and nothing of value has been added!" ...and yet, it is still true.
Amazon is still pretty terrible compared to Netflix, but has certainly gotten much better than it was 4 years ago. The interface remains practically unusable.
