As Hulu grows bigger, as we all expect it to happen, it will definitely charge people's fee to watch its online movies and TV series. unavoidably, this news is already up since last month, they will start to charge online premium fee for $10/month. So, if you still want to stick with this website, you might have to comply with their terms. In comparison to what you pay for cable and satellite TV, it is still a good deal. What do you think?

Hi, kingparker. Do you know when they will start charging people to watch movies and TV series online? $10 is not an expensive price to pay. I enjoy watching many shows on this movie channel. I just watched "The Hitchhiker", last night. They have some really great shows.

I think it is right now. You have to check on their terms and service. They will ask you to sign up their premium member to start charging you monthly.

Oh wow! So soon! I am glad that I have watched just about all of The Hitchhiker's series yesterday. I finished watching the last couple last night. My husband loves watching many movies and shows off of this station. I wonder if he would be willing to pay this fee to enjoy more movies and shows every month. I would pay for it. It is not that expensive. Too bad, I did not get to watch Outer Limits yet. I was just about to watch this today.

That's "Hulu Plus". Regular Hulu will not charge people, at least not anytime soon. Hulu Plus is something new they've come up with, it's basically offering you more shows and stuff, and the ability to watch on your smart phones and ipads and stuff in HD "high definition". So if you're just going to watch something that's already on there, there's no need to pay for that service. It's not mandatory. Nothing to worry about :)

I'm going to have to do a bit more research for myself... but I think it's a pretty good deal. Hulu is one of the best sites out there for legally free entertainment. Pretty much everything else you come across that says it's free is just breaking copyright law.
I don't know if I'd pay it, but I don't really watch much TV anymore. Probably not enough to justify handing over the dough. But $10 a month is much less than you would pay for cable... so I think it's a good deal.
