TV = http://www.hulu.com/browse/tv
Movies = http://www.hulu.com/browse/movies
choose "View as List" in either case

For movies, change "Display" to "All movies"
For tv, choose "All shows" to include clips, but "Shows with full 
episides only" is the more useful filter.

This doesn't distinguish between Hulu and HuluPlus content, but, it's a 
help.

There's no equivalent listing I can find in Netflix.


 From this discussion, I learned a few things I didn't know. I hadn't 
realized that Silverlight (required for Netflix) works under Linux. That 
was pleasing to find out.
