ICONZ113  this is a cool little app, at least I wont accidently close hulu by closing my browser anymore. by the way whats with the negative reviews, works great, looks good, easier to navigate then using the site itself and its free. download this, better then going to hulu.com, thats for sure  
(Version 0.9.6)

LVWOLFMAN  First a note to all: Hulu.com is constrained by licenses with programming providers. Just as DVD movies are "Region" coded to protect distribution licenses, streaming video providers are also generally limited in distribution. What this means is that just as we in the United States aren't allowed to stream BBC TV's simulcast of BBC One, Those in most of the world (I'm not sure about Canada) are not allowed to stream video from Hulu.com.

This would of course, apply to any desktop application released by Hulu. So sorry Charlie, as you found out, the Hulu Desktop Apps are NOT workarounds to let you watch Hulu distributed videos in other countries.

Now... as the app goes, I'm running a late 2007 17" Mac Book Pro. On my 12mbps Cable modem, with my wife playing Second Life and streaming music, and me downloading from newsgroups on another machine at full speed and 20 connections, the high quality mode of the Hulu Desktop app was darn good. When I stopped the downloads it was fantastic!

I tried it as well on my 12" 1.33 Ghz Powerbook G4. This app isn't supposed to work with it, but it did. On the low setting I could watch it in a pinch but the video stopped far too often. But it DID work!

And yes, it works perfectly with my Apple Remote.

BLABLABLA@DODGIT.COM  Shouldn't have interfered with Boxee. I will not install this on principle.

KNOWHOWE  If you're not in the USA, don't bother downloading this as it won't work. Thanks for not bothering to let us know in advance... Jeez.

ORBEAVERS14  Macupdate.com Is a bit behind.

Hulu Desktop is on version 0.9.3 as of June 2, 09.

Any issues may have been taken care of. Never know till ya try though.  
(Version 0.9.0)

BILL THE DOG FOOD GUY  This is one of the best apps around. I use it on my iMac 2.8 Intel with and HDMI cable to my 720p TV. When I first downloaded it it ran Southland with no commercials. The next day there was an update and I installed that. It ran commercials between episodes of Heroes. I don't know if it was the update that allowed for commercials or if they just did not have any advertisers for the Southland episodes.

One really good feature is when one show is done it will play the next show in the series with out searching for it.

It's a shame that Hulu does not work on the aTV. This just creates an extra step and cable to get it to my TV but it's better than watching it on my smaller screen.

STROB  Terrible interface with no way to lower video quality. Abominable performance: less than 5 fps and near 100% cpu. Next?  
(Version 0.9.0)

ORBEAVERS14  This is an awesome product. has a few glitches/bugs. extremely unnoticeable. I was extremely impressed when I started it up. No crashes, hangovers or anything.  
(Version 0.9.0)

WCITYMIKE  Very unimpressive. Crashed each time I tried to move the time cursor to another time, and doesn't offer "float on top." Using Fluid on the Hulu website actually offers more features, aside from the Apple remote control -- so that's a fairly sad commentary on this offering.
