Both have programming that isn't on the other, and both also have Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and Irish programming.

Here's the link to Acorn's complete listing:

Here's a link to Hulu's listings of British TV:

http://www.hulu.com/british

You can also do searches for "Canadian," "Austrlian," and "New Zealand" on their website.

There's little enough overlap that I subscribe to both.

Acorn also sells DVDs, and you get free shipping with a membership. Their shipping of other products is really slow, however. I bought a lovely tunic (it really is lovely), but it took four months to arrive.

Inexpensive - lots of BBC, Canadian and Aussie series.

Not as many offerings, but they suit me. Signed up as a gift to myself on a sad anniversary.

Hooked on Kingdom, Vera, just to name two.

Many offerings are dated, but since not shown here, fine with me.

I get Netflix (via a relative), Amazon (via Prime) and now Acorn. Don't have Hulu.

Anything to save me from most Cable Political theater.
