This looks good. Now if they would just re-enable my PS3 support (which doesn't seem likely), I would be golden!

Here comes the bait-and-switch. Once the good content comes online and everyone starts using it, they're going to complain that they have to find ways of paying for the storage, bandwidth hit, and other "unexpected costs" ... wait for it.

I really wish TNT would put their content on Hulu as well, not only does their website use Windows Media with DRM for playback, but Firefox users have to install a plugin and even after that it still took me nearly 30 minutes in Vista to get it to work. Reminds me why it's not my primary OS...

I think the day is coming when either...
A. People stop watching television all together because of the lengthy and obnoxiously loud commercials and instead opt for online viewing
or...
B. Hulu ends up with these same lengthy and obnoxious commercials and people stick with their televisions.
Can't Apple just go ahead and create an iTV with an led screen, built in DVR, iMac and Apple TV and let us control it with our Remote App on our iPhone and iPod Touches? :)

About time, I had a thoroughly unpleasant experience with the ABC viewer a week or so ago. What a piece of garbage.

Yeah, once Hulu is bootstrapped, it'll become a subscription service to cover "costs"...

I don't know, there is/will be more competition on the internet than there is with television.
Should be interesting.
