I think mine is about $8, I'd have to check though
Oh! I see that the commercialized version is $5.99. They have been bugging me to subscribe to their $39.99 package.
A month or so ago, I needed to up my Internet Data to Unlimited (I am on the road a lot). AT&T upgraded me for $5.00 a month less than I was paying. In addition, they added a subscription to DIRECTV NOW for $5.00 (lifetime) -- making the cost the same. Then they added HBO/HBO NOW for $5.00 a month. So, I am pretty well set. This, BTW, is my first experience with non-OTA television.
I was curious though about the difference between the low-end Hulu and my (low-end) DirecTV NOW package. Going to "Streaming TV Guides" (
http://streamingtvguides.com/), I find that there are 14 networks with Hulu that I don't have; BTN, BOOM, Chiller, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, FS@, FYI, NBC Golf, Lifetime Movies, Nat Geo WILD, Oxygen, POP, SEC ESPN, and Universal Kids. On the other hand, my DirecTV NOW package has 18 networks more than the total Hulu package... plus Add On's of Showtime, Cinemax, STARZ, STARZ Encore, and STARZ Kids (and HBO, of course).
I am unsure what the $39.99 Hulu package has since they make it very difficult to get a head count.
Edit: I forgot, I have had Amazon Prime for several years and use it quite a bit. In addition, AT&T, also, gave me a Roku Premier+ at no cost.
