As I and other bloggers have noted, a
number of subscribers to HBO can canceled their subscriptions due to
HBO's blatant political pandering and support of misogynistic
'comedians'. Some have commented that they now use Netflix, Hulu, or
a number of other online video providers rather than HBO.
For some time now I've been using Hulu
to watch episodes of some of my favorite TV shows that I've missed
for one reason or another and have considered signing up for Hulu
Plus which gives access to movies, TV shows, and more. The WP Parents
have been using Netflix with their Sony Media Player and have found
it both convenient and cost effective. (It helps that our local cable
MSO has reasonable download speeds which makes the use of these
services attractive.)
I have a feeling I'll be using the
online video services more often as cable/satellite TV becomes more
expensive and less convenient (even with a DVR).
