Just be aware that Hulu+ is pretty much useless for streaming current episodes to a TV. I signed up for a free trial, discovered everything I would want to watch (at least of cable shows) wasn't available to a TV device (my TiVo), and never used it.
It sounds like it's only useless to you, based on your viewing habits. We use Hulu+ to keep up on all of our network shows, and the current episode is almost always available by the next day.
We dropped both cable and the TiVo for OTA and a Roku, primarily for Netflix and Hulu+ (which also offers over 100 Criterion Collection films), but I mix in CrunchyRoll and some of the public domain stuff as well. I would watch films on Crackle more often if it wasn't for the ridiculous amount of interruptions. Programming now costs us $16 per month, not counting the initial $65 (at the time) for the Roku.
