Subscription-Based 'Hulu Plus' Is Now Official

itwbennett writes "After months of rumors, Hulu officially announced its $9.99/month Hulu Plus service. Invites will soon start rolling out in weekly batches. So what will you get for that $9.99? 'Full access to a bunch of current shows (Hulu lists 40 but adds 'and more' to that list) as well as complete series collections of some older titles such as The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the wonderful and mostly-ignored Eli Stone,' writes blogger Peter Smith. 'HD content sources will be streamed at 720P but Hulu mentions that the service is ad-supported.'"

    Now I'm using a pcHDTV HD-5500 capture card in a home-made mythtv box running mythbuntu capturing over the air HD TV from local broadcast.

    Me too. But Obama's working on getting rid of the broadcast channels, so that solution won't work for long.
