As someone said this will only increase torrent downloads quite a lot.
As for HULU i honestly think this will be a nail in their coffin as i know a lot are not happy with the adverts and apparantly 40% of hulus customers are from outside the USA.

That's easy to get around, just use a VPN.

Hulu seem to be cancelling peoples plus subscriptions at random now, be very careful i was lucky i was still within the 30 day Ebay gurantee when hulu cancelled mine so i could get my money back.
Hulu doing this are just going to hack people off and the likes of torrents will become more tempting. For the stuff i watch i've found a alternative solution nimble.tv, it's a bit pricey though.

I use the other methods of watching Netflix on my laptop and tablet and they seem to be ok. The Tivo one is the only one that i use for UK.
On a slightly related topic....

Can anyone tell me if i reduce my tv package and internet speed due to a financial issue will it affect Netflix on my Tivo box especially the HD content or is that unrelated to tv package size?

No your tivo gets 10mbs regardless of your tv/internet package. Downgrading will not effect it in anyway.

And some members said prices would not go up due to a competitive packed marketplace.

That's not a surprise, they've been quite open about the fact that £4.99 was an introductory price. If I'm honest, I was expecting £8.99 in line with the movies pass.

£6.99 isn't too bad tbh it's about the same price for http://www.vutv.com/
