Depending on the addons installed on what you bought, yes it should be updating with current movies/shows.
Sports are always a hit or miss.
Try Money Sports.

I think it's 4 or 5 dollars xtra for Hulu+ without commercials. You can upgrade in your account settings.They have a pretty good movie selection also. Check out "Barfly" Lol.

I'm happy, but my TV watching was already tapering off over the last year, and I don't watch sports. Or any "watercooler" shows like GoT or TWD or what-have-you.

Incredibly more compressed. And for second/third scheduled showings, stronger compression is applied.
