Something really bugs me about the idea that I could watch any Fox programming (except for FX) for free using a digital antenna yet I will be paying $8 more to stream it the next day with the same number of advertisements.

And they wonder why we despise cable companies so much...

No kidding. This is just disgusting. If fox bullies it's way in to making this come to fruition, then they can count my 8 a month as gone. I pay for less ad's not more. This has to be the most asinine thing I have ever heard. What's left of Fox's content isn't worth sitting though commercials ON TOP OF PAYING THEM. Sorry, fox, but it's not. I'll stick to my HTPC and it's 3tb HDD, then I can skip all these stupid commercials and not have to pay fox a dime. Hulu just made it easier, but when they make it less convenient than it already is, I'll move on. I'm positive others will move on also if this happens.

These changes will spell the end of Hulu. As it is I find it extremely irritating to have to watch the mandatory commercials, never mind twice that number. Now, if they remove the Fox content, it will be more hassle than it's worth to keep Hulu. The big studios obviously just want to buy Hulu to shut it down.

I sure Hope Providence does not its 10% of Hulu shares to Disney, but If they sell it to Fox, I don’t think Fox will ruin Hulu’s good reputation for being one of the best sites to stream from. I stream my movies from Blockbuster, and I watch my TV shows through Dish online that's totally free! My Dish coworker told me that Dish has the only online video portal that offers customers over 150,000 movies, TV shows, clips and trailers put into one easy interface; with that much content there's no way I cant find a movie or TV show to watch.
