Netflix, Pandora and Cinema Now are the only online options. It also appears that there will be no new updates to the firmware after the addition of Cinema Now (January 2011). If you don't have that update it is available here: http://www.insigniaproducts.com/products/blu-ray-dvd-players-recorders/NS-WBRDVD.html

I only have used it for netflix and to play dvd's so I'm not sure about hulu but I will say that I've had it for several years and despite some moderate or bad reviews on some websites for this product I have found it to be well worth the money. A call to Insignia customer support will answer your question.

Hi Liz! The NS-WBRDVD does not have the Hulu option. Mine has Netflix, Pandora, and Cinema Now. It has been some time ago, but I think I recall when I first connected it there was no Cinema Now. There was a software update notice, and when activated, Cinema Now appeared along with the other two. I have not used Cinema Now, but Pandora and Netflix work very well.

No it doesn't, I have mine hooked up to the Roku (49$ at Amazon) which give free movies channels, and netflicks, amazon instant video, hulu, etc. The ladder sevices you have to have an account. But the cracle and popcorn movie channel are free movies. The roku is great but the tv is awesome without the roku. Excellent booming sound and great picture.) But no wifi or automatic stream

No, you must have a subscription to view any of the content in the Hulu channel. However, there are many channels such as Crackle and Epix which give you free access to many movies and shows.

Not sure about Hula Plus but you need to have a Netflix account to access it thru the Roku.

With my Roku 1 connected via analog to my Funai DVD recorder, I was able to record anything but Netflix and Amazon Prime until just recently. Hulu has now blocked content copying as of this week as well. So now I watch mostly BYUtv and Youtube programs and am seriously considering getting rid of Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime as a result. If I can't record the shows that I want to watch later (as I can with cable or over-the-air) then there's little point in having them. If I want to watch a video, I can just go rent it and it will be much cheaper.

The only apps available are preloaded by JVC. They are Netflix,Pandora (music only) and Vudu these are the only sites which can be streamed via the internet. There is NOT a browser on this model JVC, therefore the only internet access is by the 3 preloaded apps. You cannot add additional sites that will give you other streaming content. NO BROWSER. You will need to add a Roku or BluRay... some similar device that provides access via WI-Fi or ethernet. The TV itself has WI-fi and Ethernet access for Netflix. Pandora and Vudu but without a browser present, you are stuck with those only. Sorry... the set is great and I have fought that battle with JVC. I was told that they were going to add some other apps, but not a browser... that was over a year ago with no luck. I hate to say this but their "Marketing Hype" in the literature is very mis-leading.

The other poster is right...Netflix and Hulu are the reasons to get a Roku... There are tons of channels yes, which in aggregate along with NF and H+ make it quite an entertainment value. Some of the channels I use quite often, but w/o the two paid channels its not worth it. That's not Roku's fault at all, but rather if content providers have something you would want, 9 times out of ten they're not just going to give it away

I don't see that as one of the entertainment options. It has Netflix, VUDU, CinemaNow, MLB TV, Utube, Pandora, Napster, Picasa Web Albums, and AccuWeather

No. There are TV shows ( previous episodes not current) available to watch but you have to pay.

Netflix?yes. Amazon Prime? not sure. Haven't gone thru all of it yet. It's a lot to leaf through.

I got rid of my cable and only have the Roku. I do have subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu (for most of the TV programs). There are so many other channels on the Roku I can watch news, food channels, outdoor channels, and so many other channels that I would have received through cable. Each month more channels become available, you just have to keep an eye out each month.

Probably not, given your viewing preference. But keep an eye out for the Hulu paid service, which should be coming out any day now. It might be the closest thing to replacing TV, with quick additions of now-playing TV shows - and they plan on adding the service to many steaming devices. I think if Netflix were a bit better about getting more steaming content, I would have switched it out already. We'll see what happens in the future.

There is a Vudu channel, and I was able to add it and browsed their movie catalog. I haven't used it yet though, there is so much else I already have with Amazon Prime and other channels that I haven't needed it. It seemed a bit pricy to me, but I guess you pay for convenience. However, it won't do 1080P, which seems to be a big part of the reason to use Vudu, since the LT can't support that. So any movies you stream would be in SD instead.

Yes, you can watch both as they have a app for netflix and hulu. Download it at the playstore.
