Yeah. OTOH, they're realistically the only game in town if you want this sort of thing, and it's not such a high cost (the fee or the ads) that it destroys my interest.
I've been on the preview a while now. App works OK--has some bugs re: queue management and subscriptions, but as a viewer works fine. I got decent video over 3G, though the non-HD stuff did strike me as unusually pixelated. I think there might be some significant quality loss in however they're transcoding it.

It might still be worth having as a Netflix supplement though. The combo of the two really gives a rich set of content to iOS devices. If only CBS would play the game with someone...

I agree with the exception of current season material. That is where Hulu Shines.
Worked out of the box for me on I4
