Netflix service starts at only $7.99 per month, and provides access to a massive library of movie and TV show content. But, Netflix doesn't offer content from the current season, and it has been shunned by some networks with and Showtime.

Enter . Where Netflix is the king of streaming movies and legacy TV series, Hulu Plus fills the void for current TV content. With Hulu Plus, I can still watch my favorite shows like The Office. The catch is that I can't watch it until the day after it airs on TV, though.

I have an issue with the fact that I have to pay a subscription fee, and yet still have to watch commericials. On the other hand, "commercial free" pay channels like HBO and Showtime actually show more commercials it seems--they're just all for their own content. There is also a problem with the fact that, although Fox is supported on Hulu Plus, American Idol episodes are not available, and CBS doesn't play with Hulu Plus at all so no Big Bang Theory.

So, now I have $7.99 a month going to Netflix in order to watch movies, and another $7.99 going to Hulu Plus so I can watch current shows, but I still can't see American Idol, Big Bang Theory, or current original HBO content like Game of Thrones.

The HBO Go app does let me see current HBO content, but only if I am a paying subscriber to the traditional HBO network, which means I have to maintain my cable TV subscription in order to get access to the streaming HBO content. And, there is a TV.com app for iOS which does provide some CBS content--like 60 Minutes and Hawaii Five-O--but still doesn't have Big Bang Theory.
