Hulu takes Epix movie deal from Netflix

article published on 30 August, 2015

Hulu has announced today that it has inked a deal with Epix, just hours after Epix's distribution deal expired with rival streaming service Netflix. Epix offers popular (and new) films from Lionsgate, MGM and Paramount so Netflix users will soon see titles like "Transformers" and "The Hunger Games" leaving the service.

Now that Hulu is starting to snap up content from Netflix they need to make their service available to people outside of the US.

I live in Canada and have a legal Netflix subscription. I can't sign up for a service like Hulu without using a fake US address and credit card.

Last time I tried to use Hulu, the user experience was horrible. Commercials everywhere, Full screen didn't work. Stream quality was very bad.
I can't imagine trying to watch a triple A title on Hulu. If it's better now then great, but it had a very long way to go.

I would never use hulu because of the ads. If im going to pay for and support a video service, it better well not have any damn ads on it.

I Haven't tried Hulu lately for the same reason. Netflix usually works fine on this slow dsl. 2.5mbps. Tried their free trial period several times. Couldn't hack it more than a day. You know Hulu is a conglomerate of cbs, nbc, abc? Stutter, stutter, stall, glub. Commercials often halted the stream.

That is what my DVR helps me avoid. I'm hardly available to watch TV shows I like when they air so I have to record them. I get to skip all of that crap when I time shift the shows like that. My comment was mainly for the streaming video services and not IPTV/CATV, etc. The regular TV services have more overhead than a streaming service does so I can kinda understand (although I still don't want to see the ads) but streaming shouldn't need to show ads to paying customers. Netflix doesn't show ads so I don't see the need for HuLu to show ads to paying customers and I won't buy their service as long as it has any advertising with it.
