I cut the cord last winter. I use Roku to get HULU. My HULU subscription is the $39.99/mo plan. With that I get all the major networks i.e. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN etc. You can see all the Chanel's you will get at HULU.com. I use Century Link in TV and Comcast in NH for Internet. Century link is $55/mo for 80mbps. So with HULU I pay a total of about $95/mo and I am very happy with service. The only thing with streaming is you want to get a fast internet service. 25mbps to me is the minimum. I found the faster the Internet the better the streaming when watching live TV. That's why I went to 80. Century link will only garantee you 80% of what you are paying for. So for 80 I can expect 60mbps. Comcast offers 400mbps in NH and I have very little problems with that speed. With Century Link I get buffering at times and if I am getting less than 60mbps as shown when I do speed test I end up calling them to fix speed. Bottom line is the faster the speed of the Internet the less problems you will have. I strongly recommend both Hulu and Roku.
