Hulu is pretty good to that has every episode on it from season 1 and tonnes of other content.
I wonder if they'll ever be a hulu uk i've heard whispers that hulu want to expand , but i'm taking them with a pinch of salt until i get something confirmed. I wonder if this is where lg could be going with their VOD path.

Netflix Mexico also has every episode, including the last broadcast one in August this year. And there are no adds on Netflix. And can't you only get every episode on hulu if you have Hulu+?

Actually, in my view, apart from a few shows, the content across VM's channels was not very good. There was barely one channels worth of content. In my view, Sky got that bit right in closing all but one channel down.

I know one thing they brought to the table and that's a £5.50 price increase starting February 2014 !!!!

I just got my letter today

Indeed no price rises are nice but all will follow suit l am afraid.

That could be why i'm seeing every episode mate as i pay a friend via paypal who lives in America and she does the HULU+ subscription for me of her credit card.
I fully agree with you too Netflix has no adverts whereas HULU even HULU+ does , watching the eps via mtv usa has adverts too but you can get around those using adblockplus on firefox or chrome.

I don't doubt it Den however I think it makes perfect sense and is a great opportunity for Vodafone to sell its 4G services to Sky's 10m + subscribers whilst bundling it with TV on the go , the Murdoch's controlling interest would be a stumbling block one would imagine unless they are looking to exit amid the failed takeover and hacking scandal.
