Does Samsung Media Hub charge to my Sprint bill?

Don't expect Media Hub to be as good as Hulu or NetFlix for that matter. It's a pay per view system that integrates DRM protection, I hate stuff like that. You can't just copy it on your laptop or PC and watch a movie without installing a separate application to decode it's content protection. I'm going to patiently wait for NetFlix and will gladly give them 10 bucks a month to watch as many shows as I want for the entire month where as one movie rental from Media Hub for a viewing period of 24 hours will cost as little as 2-3 dollars and go up from there, no thanks.

i have netflix now and i love it but they ont come out with brand new movies there are a lot of movies that you cant stream so media hub will more than likely have newer movies that netflix doesnt have.

NetFix recently made a deal with Paramount and a bunch of other movie studios paying nearly 1 billion dollars in royalties which will allow them to get newer releases out earlier to their online streaming service, in the end this will be good for us as we'll get the newer releases online faster. It also comes to us at no extra cost I'm really excited to see what they do with it.
