You might want to Google for reviews on Hulu and Netflix to find out
what content is on one service versus the other. Netflix has their own
content, which is obviously only available on Netflix. They each have
their own exclusive deals with different networks and sources of
streaming material.
There are a couple of settings. First, go into Settings -> Mail,
Calendars, Contacts and double tap your Google account and make sure
Calendar is on.
You should also be able to set your default calendar by going into
