I don't follow. How is paying Netflix a kludge? They're providing a fantastic service in addition to some great new content. If Amazon, Hulu, et al step up their game then we're all the better for it.
Netflix on its own isn't a kludge, but paying netflix, plus maybe Hulu, and oh, there's stuff from Amazon as a side effect of 2 day shipping, plus buying individual episodes from Amazon, iTunes, or Google, and don't forget the old Ultraviolets, right, right? Add in some ripped media and possibly a wire or antenna hooked to a dvr and that's what's a kludge.
