Hulu Plus Cuts Price to $7.99, Officially Launches on Roku

In addition to the lower price, Hulu Plus is also finally landing on Roku. (We'd heard it was coming to the tiny box almost a month ago, but we were never given a firm date; we thought Hulu had maybe forgotten about poor Roku.) Boxee and Google are going to have to move quickly, now. With Hulu Plus on Roku, it'll be even harder for them to maintain any kind of edge in the streaming media market.

Just signed up for HuluPlus. Then an hour later, cancelled. BE WARNED. I found a referral code so that it became "2 weeks free." After I cancelled I found that they are still charging me $4 and change for an entire month. So there is nothing FREE about it. This is misleading and deceitful. it is a total ripoff.
All I wanted was streaming on Roku for my current season shows. Hell's Kitchen, for instance. Well, they don't offer most all of the current popular shows. They don't have the same content that is FREE on the website even! I browsed through their content, and it is all old and worthless. It is over 100 old movies that no one cares about and crappy old TV shows that no one cares about. At least I can catch up on HAPPY TOWN. I should have known better.
Hulu PLUS does not mean normal Hulu content PLUS more, it means "different content." It should have been called Hulu Different. Or Hulu Ripoff. Or Hulu Minus would have been more accurate. MINUS the good content. MINUS my money.
Good job, Hulu, you just scammed $4 and change off of me. I feel like an idiot for being excited about your service.

I like FREE TV.COM Their concept is Great but they need to secure their site ...too many virus from adds and others downloads.Also too much malware on back of movies...is too bad because they have the most current movies, in days from the theaters...FREE TV I love you but your site is too dirty ...clean your act up and you will lead the pack in streaming
