Hm... Netflix still worth it?

So, I learned this weekend that my mother decided not to bother getting Cable TV service... (long before I returned back to Seattle)
So... I'm looking at getting Netflix (mostly cuz I'm too lazy to walk/drive the 1.2 mile to the closest redbox machine)...
So I'm just thinking... Netflix or just get Hulu Plus...
Suggestions?  lol

I have both. I probably watch Netflix more than Hulu but not by much. I don't have cable TV, just a roku player. Hulu is great for new episodes of shows but I probably only watch maybe 7 different shows total. And some don't have new seasons for a while so it's not incredibly useful
I will probably cancel Hulu very soon. Netflix > Hulu IMO
Never used Amazon Streaming before but from what I've seen it is like Netflix but not as good, yet
Also hulu movies blow donkey balls

Heh, I'm actually considering buying the Roku 2 XD tomorrow from Best Buy since I have a $15 gift certificate I can burn so it'll only cost me $65 + tax. And I do have a 1080p TV that's sitting there not being used so...
My mom likes to watch Hulu. Me = eh... not always...
I'll think about it...

Read their websites for sub info. If they have none I wouldn't blame you for peg legging it. For yarrrrring with a parrot on your shoulder. For slapping on an eye patch to enhance your viewing experience. Sharing a bottle of rum with Captain Jack Sparrow if you get my drift. (watching a Pirates of the Caribbean Marathon since it's mostly action, duh)

lol, Varece - Nope!
Not if we'll be moving in a couple months...
And Briton - Yea, Roku does support captions as long it's Roku 2 or higher. The original hardware won't. *shrug*
And Varece - it'll just be easier and cheaper for us to just get a Roku 2 thingy since we don't watch TV that much and just use Hulu when we miss shows. This way, we can use the TV, after all, we paid what? $800 for the TV, lol

Closed Captioning on Netflix's streamed content is hit and miss.

So is Torchwood dead? I heard Starz kinda took over Torchwood but I saw this americanized version that wasn't even Torchwood anymore.... I gave up watching. Has there been anything more?

Rho -
I did a check on Netflix... They've captioned a very large % of their streaming videos - they still have the ones that isn't frequently requested to caption so I think I'll be fine. If a video arrives from Warner Bros (for example), and the caption file (SRT) isn't with the video. They will send back a request to provide captions. And if they do not hear from Warner Bros, they will caption the video themselves.
As for everyone else, lol... I'm still thinking about the Roku 2 XD. The more I think about it, the more I think I should get it because it's cheaper in the long run. For example, the Roku 2 XD is $80 + tax, so let's say $85. $85 plus $8 for Netflix streaming. The $85 is just an one-timer thing and $8 is monthly. If I continue to subscribe to Netflix for 12 months, I'll have forked over $200 in one year. Now, if I get cable at, let's say, $50 a month, that'll be about $700 (12x$50 + $100 installation fee). I'll save $500 just for the first year. And even cheaper the 2nd year, lol... So I think it's a wise investment.
