Could Be Good Option
This could work out well although I'm getting a bit burned out by options, personally. However, cord-cutters should certainly rejoice at getting another choice, especially if it has high quality content producers like Disney.

Re: Could Be Good Option
Me too. But the live content is a good play by Hulu, especially if it includes sports.

Re: Could Be Good Option
Live content, particularly sports, has been the knot keeping many from cord-cutting. 

Though like Alison I'm confused by cord-cutting options. I may be wasting money by continuing to pay for cable. But looking into all the cord-cutting options makes me say ow my head.

Re: Could Be Good Option
Mitch, Allison,

And yet every step keeps moving toward some kind of structure of a la carte/micropayment/on demand viewing. Many innovations in the last couple decades have moved toward it, and hardly any successful ones have moved moved away. And once it exists, pretty much nothing else will.

Re: Could Be Good Option
@Mike Does Hulu also have customers outside the US like Netflix does? Netflix has really been pushing its global presence.

Re: Could Be Good Option
I'm sure this is one of the lamer cord-cutter laments, but my attenae won't pick up ABC so I always feel left out during the Oscars.

If Disney provides a live content option, I'd be rather pleased!

A la Carte
I am still waiting for a someone to roll out a true a la carte option.  I am ok without every other channel but I miss AMC and and FX; and let me DVR shows to watch an hour later, not the next day.  Am I being too greedy now?

Just buy a Sling Media SlingBox and save yourself the trouble. Or do those digital cable antennas you see at Kmart and Walmart not work?

Re: A la Carte
@afwriter I'm waiting for the same. It's nice everyone wants to offer a streaming option for content, but it forces viewers to subscribe to multiple services to get the few channels they really want. That's a hassle.

Big change for content guys
The number of OTT services means content owners are really spreading their worth around, and that means that the value of content by itself will start to get diluted. For programmers that have made gobs of money for years raking in ad dollars plus guaranteed subscription licensing fees, it's going to be a rude awakening when those fees fracture across more and more distribution channels.
