I hate having to wait a year to watch my favorite shows on Netflix, especially being a comic fan and there being so many comic shows out there.
Hulu used to be great for that, and I used it. But this last year, they dropped a lot of network's shows from their line-up. And then many that are still there have limited runs, meaning you only have a few days to watch them then they disappear.
I feel like it's worth it having my cable and DVR. And I do a bundle deal, so I also pay for my internet and home phone (I know, home phone, but it's actually cheaper with the bundle deal to have it) in one price. Just under $100 for all 3, with the middle-tier cable package (Top 200 channels and local stations, I want to say) with DVR service.
