Netflix is MUCH better. Hulu+ has commercials. About 6 commercials for an hour of programming. Ikeep telling her, if I want to watch commercials, I'll watch network tv.
To the OP, grab a Roku from Radio Shack or other retailer for 70 bucks and get netflix for $8/mo. Can't be beat. THOUSANDS of titles to choose from without the $100/mo for 2-300 channels of which you'll watch maybe 20 often and another 20 infrequently and the other 150 not at all.
Roku + Netflix = viable solution
I would agree with one caveat ... if you can wait one season for the current crop of shows, then this is a great setup. I'm on the cusp of dropping Dish and going Roku only. Check out the other available channels on Roku. Even Glenn Beck's GBTV is available as a streaming channel on Roku (for a price). Quite a bit of free channels on there as well.
