Netflix by far has the TV shows miles ahead of any service. Almost any kind of show other than my HBO shows which I have HBOGO for its there. So what if it's a season behind once the new season starts the previous one usual shows up so if you're behind Tivo the newest season and watch the old until you're current. As far as movies go stop complaining people. If you can't afford a $1.50 Bluray Redbox rental for the new releases even just waiting 28 days but can still buy your daily $5 Sbucks and 2 packs of smokes for over $15 then you really need to look at your life. Neflix has all the documentaries kids junk for those who need a babysitter in a age of continual non-parenting. Amazon, the kindle, the Prime video quality with lack of App saturation makes it the clear and obvious loser. Amazon is only good for buying items so stay out of the video business with you're junk Betas garbage that is not even worth mentioning with the greatness of House of Cards, Orange, Arrested Development. Easy decision people.

After increasing their price, they also made other changes and not for the better. Some may have been a result of licensing disputes, but that's not the customer's fault. There are now hardly any free TV shows to view. In the past, there may have been just a few seasons for free but now there are none. The actually have the audacity to charge for $2.00 to view a six year old TV show! For those who use Prime solely for viewing, they are going to lose some subscribers to NetFlix.

The author has not done their research when he says "All three services can stream videos at full-HD 1080p resolution".
Hulu has never streamed in 1080p!
The best it has done is 720p and that too is not most of the time.
I have compared Netflix, Hulu Plus and Dish Network. Hulu Plus has the worst video picture and sound quality of the 3.
