I found a site called Prescreen.com, its a rental service promoting independent films. It looks they have daily deals and promotions. If you like independant films this might be a site for you, I have one movie in my que so far, anxious to see if it is any good.

Netflix, Spotify. I'm debating Hulu Plus, and I think it will be a great replacement to paying for cable TV.

Does anyone know if there's an option to pay for BBC's iPlayer or other European content or Latin American content? (I think Hulu has Mexican content now)

To be able to get ZDF, RTL, DW-TV, etc. would be a delight.

Re: Which Streaming Services Do You Use?
 

BBC iPlayer was scheduled for a late-2011 release in the USA. It's going to be a monthly subscription service. But I haven't heard anything in a few months. I think it's already available on the UK Rokus. So hopefully, if the US release happens, we'll get it on the US Roku.

Netflix, Hulu+, and Pandora are the main ones, although we watch Crackle (mainly for Seinfeld, since the commercials don't seem so out of place) and Crunchyroll on occasion. I keep meaning to rent something from Amazon to test out their streaming quality, but still haven't. All of this is on a Roku, but I also use Pandora on the iPhone in the car sometimes.

I don't think I will ever attempt to watch a movie on Crackle again.

I'm using Crunchyroll for one reason: it's the only place to see a lot of new Japanese anime shows (yes, there's FUNimation's anime streaming service, but its interface is not as good).

Re: Which Streaming Services Do You Use?
 

:thumbsup: Love Crunchyroll.

If you have an iPad/iPhone and Airplay-compatible device (AppleTV, Boxee, etc), check out The Anime Network. I use the iPad app to stream shows to my AppleTV. Works really well.

Just got a Roku 2 XD in the mail yesterday, so I'm still adding channels to it. So far I've got Netflix, Hulu+, Amazon, Crackle, and a few horror/drive-in/kung-fu channels. I'm still looking for more to add.

!!! Is this Xbox only, or is it available on Roku?

Re: Which Streaming Services Do You Use?
 

From what I've seen of iPlayer (I subscribe to a VPN that lets me pick from a lot of servers globally), it's really friendly and easy to use. I especially like the option to download the video, which should be an option with Netflix or Hulu(+), like it is with Spotify (paid).

My internet connection is spotty enough that I'd prefer to let something download overnight and watch it the next day than have to sit through a bunch of forced breaks while I wait for the stream to reappear or my connection to come back.

Crackle can be viewed on your PC, Smartphones, and XBOX. not sure about Roku and other options.

Download the Crackle app from the XBOX App Marketplace for FREE.

Re: Which Streaming Services Do You Use?
 

I'm currently doing Netflix streaming and Hulu Plus. I like being able to catch up on the latest seasons of shows on Hulu+, but I probably won't keep it after I'm caught up. I hate having to watch commercials when I'm paying a monthly fee.

Re: Which Streaming Services Do You Use?
 

What are you watching, or have watched, on Hulu Plus?

I was trying to figure out if it had any value for me. I currently have Netflix.

Re: Which Streaming Services Do You Use?
 

I'm using it to get caught up on the latest seasons of Raising Hope and Modern Family. That seems to be its greatest value right now (to me): the fact that it's the only place you can legally get the latest seasons of a lot of shows. Otherwise I don't really have a use for it once I'm caught up with these.

Re: Which Streaming Services Do You Use?
 

I tested out Hulu Plus, but it was right after all the current seasons came to an end, so I didn't really have anything specific I needed to catch up on. Therefore, it didn't have much value to me. That said, I can definitely see the potential. If they raised the price a few dollars and cut the ads completely, I'd subscribe.

Hulu Plus now has a 2-Month free trial...
