Hulu Vudu Netflix AppleTV

What do you use & why? 

 We are doing the trial of Netflix.  I like that I can use an A/V cable to connect my ipod to the TV and stream it.  It's not the greatest picture quality, but it works for me.  Looks like Hulu does mostly TV shows & Vudu has a lot of HD movies, but you need to buy an extra component (like vudu/blu ray player).  I don't think I'd be able to stream through my iPod.

Re: Hulu Vudu Netflix AppleTV

  • We have netflix, and we stream it from our xbox 360 in one room, and we bought a Blu-ray player at a great price on Amazon.com for the other room with a wi-fi connection so we can stream Netflix, and Vudu on that.  It has the apps for both.  It was really worth the $ spent on the Blu Ray player.  We love having it. 
  • I was curious about the WiFi blu ray players.  I keep reading "Wireless LAN ready (adapter not included)".  I looked up the LAN adapter & it's another $70.  Do you have that or need that?

  • Ours was "wireless ready" so we didn't need to buy an adapter.  I would make sure it comes ready for wireless to avoid the extra part and the charge.  You can also hook it up with an ethernet wire, if you can't do wireless, and your router is near where you will be keeping the blu-ray player. 
  • LOL. This whole conversation went right over my head.

  • We stream netflix through the Wii - the quality is definitely not a good as a DVD on the blu-ray, but it isn't terrible and it works.  I didn't even think to check if our blu-ray is able to stream netflix movies.  It wasn't important to us at the time that we bought it, so I don't remember.... I don't know what Hulu or Vudu are so I can't comment on those.
  • We have a blu ray player that can stream everything (netflix, pandora, etc.). We are moving that one upstairs, getting an HD antenna, and shutting off our Fios soon. Will spend $75 on antenna and have free TV plus netflix (max is like $40) - looking forward to using our technology to save us a lot of money!!!!

    Right now we have the 3 disc netflix package and will increase to the 4 disc one when we shut Fios off.

  • We have streamed Netflix through the Wii, PS3 and also through our TiVo HD. We usually use go through TiVo for streaming though (but we have to add shows to our instant queue online, rather than being able to browse through the game system, like we can with PS3). We've been happy with it.

    I've only ever used Hulu online to catch up on an episode or two of a show that didn't get DVRed properly, and where the show wasn't available for viewing direct from the network's website. Not familiar with Vudu.
