Hulu rival adds more premium content

16 January 2009 18:01 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 4 comments

CBS has boosted their TV.com lineup this week, adding the popular Showtime hits Dexter and Californication to its free streaming library.

There was no word on how many episodes would be added, and for how long, but most likely they will include the first season of each show and some of the recent episodes, all for free with ad-supports.

In an effort to compete with the very popular Hulu streaming website, the site was given an overhaul last month with a new design and tons of new premium content ranging from "24" to "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."

The NYTimes reported that they expect CBS, the conglomerate which owns the site, to announce major deals with PBS, Sony, MGM and Endemol as soon as Monday.

There needs to be more sites like hulu, run by the tvstations. I don't have cable tv, why? To be honest I don't think it's worth paying $40 a month for something I watch at most one hour a day. I just have high-speed internet, and at least with sites like hulu, the tv stations can still make some money vs just downloading the show. [ + quote]

Why can't these guys just join up with Hulu? I can watch Hulu on my TV using PlayOn and my Xbox 360 with ZERO problems. I don't think TV.com is supported yet. Its cool that they are adding Showtime shows. They need to put Weeds up. I don't have any problems watching it Hulu style so they can get some money, but right now i'm just doing it via Megavideo, which they get ZERO money from. [ + quote]
