> the girlfriend complains quite a bit about all of the (often repetitive) ads on Hulu -- and I'm pretty sure we even pay for it.

Hulu Plus has two offerings, an ad supported one for $5.99/mo, and an ad-free one for $11.99/mo. I subscribe to the ad-free one, and if you watch more than a couple hours of Hulu a month I think it's worth it (but I can't stand watching commercials, so maybe other people find then less onerous).

I pay for the ad-free, live-streaming Hulu and there's still ads. My movie was interrupted with an ad for an erectile dysfunction pill, drove me crazy.

Maybe there's a bug in the live streaming setup that Hulu offers then? I just pay for ad-free Hulu, and I haven't seen an ad from them since a week after they announced that plan (I didn't head about it immediately, but I upgraded as soon as I did). I've watched in a browser, the on the Roku, and on an Amazon Fire TV.

The more expensive Hulu subscription is not 100% ad-free, some of their content contracts don't permit them to show the content ad-free.
