They're two different things, I use both. Hulu to watch current tv shows and some back catalogues, I use Netflix for movies and older tv shows. I started watching Grey's Anatomy over the weekend, plus getting the new released DVD's is a nice feature too. For $18/month, I've replaced cable. Getting cable broadcasted NFL games is hard, I usually go to a bar, if it's a good game. Watched a few March Madness games on my iPad this year, it wil be great to watch live NFL games someday, too... Without directv.
