This puts an interesting twist on the AppleTV and Boxee situation. Maybe this means we might be getting an "official" Hulu connection on AppleTV?

Disney and Fox should buy out NBC. Giving up a third of its prime time programming to Leno indicates NBC isn't really in the business of producing content any more.
Much as you love hulu and want to marry it, I have been using it for a couple weeks since I dropped cable; and it's no picnic. Primarily, I don't understand why it doesn't buffer commercials along with the shows. Too many screeching halts during commercials. That and you have to watch the same commercial 3 times per half hour. It's not like I skipped over it the first time. On the plus side, you can rate commercials; so you can give the old thumbs down to the crappy Coke commercial or the GM commercial telling you it's your responsibility to buy GM cars 3 times!
iTunes needs a cheaper way to get to TV content you don't want to keep. I'd happily pay a little to avoid hulu. But $20/month just for Daily Show and Colbert Report is almost half of the money I saved dropping cable.

Yay! Finally, to be rid of the incredibly annoying promos when watching video on the ABC website.
