Netflix Watch Instant new plans
When the Roku box was released allowing Netflix users to stream Watch Instant content from the Netflix servers to their TV, I thought to myself that if the box could stream content from hulu.com, a site featuring more current content as well as many old TV shows and movies, I would definitely make the purchase. Current episodes are now available for streaming, but it is not from hulu.com. Apparently Netflix has struck a deal to offer current episodes from popular shows through their Watch Instant service. This would directly compete with hulu.com unless, of course, this is the technology they are using. I haven’t taken the time to compare the two because Netflix doesn’t offer a Mac OS X option for Watch Instant. I’ll stick to hulu for my day-after TV viewing, but that roku box suddenly became more appealing.
