Pick up an apple TV 2 for 99 bones. Jailbreak it add xbmc and there are plugins which will give you access to more than either can offer at $0 per month. Google is your friend.

Only for 2nd generation? Not the newest ones?

I believe #2 is the newest. The 3rd Gen not out yet. Seas0npass the the jb to use. iOS 4.3 is what you want. Got mine off amazon and came with 4.3 installed. Another option is search eBay. They are selling them pre set up for around 139. Best part is they did all the work for you.

I can do the jailbreak stuff myself assuming I can downgrade if it comes with a higher version. So I'd be able to stream hulu and movies off the internet with plugins for free? Count me in

Hulu is ad central. I'm going to say Netflix wins here.

Netflix runs in every room in my house

Hmmm interesting

I'd say netflix as hulu is too jam packed with ads for the same amount cost of netflix. Wish I could get the two combined into one minus the ads.

I have hulu but cant stand paying for adds plus their website is a jungle going with netflix all the way

I had to make a choise the other day because I never used both before....
For me it came down to which has the most device support including our phone which has HDMI out to a TV and of course...
Netflix wins in this area....
So long story short....
Netflix...

I have both, when hulu plus works it works great! But the problem is getting it to work (outside of the computer, the LG tv app of Hulu plus has never worked and whenever my ps3 gets an update Hulu plus never seems to work).
Try Hulu plus out, google free month trial hulu plus and they will let you test it for a month free of charge (currently that's where I'm at and I probably won't renew it because of all the issues on ps3/LG tv).

For those looking for other options. This option would require an apple TV in each room you wanted the service but it is a small investment considering you would be able to get rid of all other services including cable or dtv. This would also include getting rid of services like vudu. Enjoy my fellow xda members.
If life was like a box of chocolates wouldn't there be a layout on the inside of the box telling you which are the good ones? Until then use Google.

I use both. Netflix, if it has it, is ad free. But hulu has all the new stuff. If you want first run programming, Hulu is the way to go. If you want movies and archived shows, Netflix.

anyone wanna share a login for my birthday? haha jk. thanks for the input guys but cash flow is not permanent for me

+1
Roku supports plug ins out of the box. Plus it is cheaper for lower models. Also there seems to be sales on Roku on a regular basis. Lower models are not bad though.

Hulu plus?!

Any news on this API working soon. Such a great addition to my horrible commute!

And HBO Go! That app isn't available either.

Hulu plus is a minus for the Gnex for some reason... It's not as if the hardware won't support it
I hope your horrible commute doesn't involve driving dudeimgeorge
Terminators run on Android

Weird. I have hulu plus on my Galaxy Nexus and it even works.

When was the last time you watched something on it?
It was available for the Nexus for a while after release but then it was pulled for some reason. I was under the impression that even if you still had it on your phone it would just tell you your device was not supported.

I stand corrected. I was sure I had watched something on it, but that must have been Netflix. My bad. You are correct that's exactly what it's doing on my phone.

Thanks for checking. That is really irritating, no word from the devs just boosh. Does anybody know if the Nexus One or Nexus S are supported?

+1 for HBO Go. With time warner getting hbo go in a couple weeks, it would be really nice to have it on my phone while I workout! I guess Il keep using netflix till something gets it figured out

I would like HBO as well and I think it's just a matter of time before we see hbo fix this for ics/nexus.

Monopoly deal?

Im very sad that this game isnt available for android.
Anyone else addicted to it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Bought it over the weekend.
My roomates and I played 35 games in 2 days lol. So yes we are very addicted.

i love monopoly. i do not know what you are talking about Monopoly being on Android, i have been playing it for weeks now.

Even though it has a 3/5 rating, it works almost perfectly on my GN.

Got it free from Amazon App Store, when it was the app of the day.

Move to Cubox?

Hey Guys,
I'm looking at moving away from the Ouya just don't really like it even as an XBMC box. Anyone had a look at the CuBox looking at the CuBox-i4Pro with the Xbian distro (http://www.xbian.org/). Any idea's how it compares?

I would move to anything. Even a Raspberry PI would be better at this point. Im really sick of this thing.

Yeah mate am liking the idea media box could run sickbeard,transmission, tvheadend and headphones easily....looking between the cubox or the u droid u3....bought 2 of the ouyas thinking they are destined for the trash

I'm at the same boat. I'm really tired of this closed platform, this eternal promise of an indie games heaven that we know will never come and the limitations and bugs and everything we know that would never be solved by costumizations because Ouya isn't good for this, and it seems that's no good for nothing. It's a garbage cube as a videogame and a mediocre solution as a media center. Was good for the price when launched, but today we have a lot of alternatives.

Lol I'm now trying to figure out what to do with my ouya since I got a mojo now... ouya just not making smart business choices.

Only a real custom ROM that could totally unleash the Ouya console from the Ouya Store and etc can save this thing at this point... And I think we'll never get one.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Never say never....I never thought the boxee would be xbmc but it has (i bought 4)... i think it will take time but i can't be bothered waiting too long thinking give it a month and see what's out there the cubox looks awesome but would love something in a tegra 4 could you image that thing fly!!!...
But having said that am in love with the idea of having sickbeard,xbmc, heaphones,sickbeard and maybe squid on my media machine would be no need to leave all my nas devices on could attach a usb drive to this and copy media over on weekends or whenever...

Yeah it's nothing to be excited about to be honest. I don't even think you can scroll through channels like you can on the TV.

Well, I actually use the app on my TV sometimes. It's not completely terrible. But yeah, if I want to watch anything it usually isn't on TV.

I think it is only supposed to compatible with the S10's, Note 10's, S20's and Note 20's. I could not get it off of either store for my Tab s7+ but installed it with the apk and works just fine.

Loaded off the Galaxy Store on the 10+ Pie, works fine... it's the content and/or lack of that I didn't like.
Uninstalled after 5 minutes and I can still see it dancing in my head, what a mess

not in the playstore, its in the Galaxy app store
