That’s basically impulse-purchase territory if you’re looking for a quick way to get Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand or one of Roku’s 75 other channels on your TV. The $79 Roku XD adds in 1080p streaming support for channels with 1080p content, and the top-of-the-line $99 XDS adds in a USB port for future local playback support, component video and optical audio out, and dual-band 802.11n WiFi.

Research firm One Touch Intelligence decided to catalog each and every episode on Hulu and Hulu Plus, and discovered the paid service had 28,418 full-length episodes — only 14 percent more than regular Hulu’s 24,854 — during one week of testing in August. Looking at the sample chart immediately above, it’s plain to see you’re getting your money’s worth if you’re a Supernanny or Law & Order fan, but Hulu’s got a content deal or three to make if it wants Hulu Plus to leapfrog its existing ad-supported service.
