If you are serious about tv over the web, check out www.Boxee.tv...... that is the future (so my geek son tells me.)

Boxee goes on the web and finds tv for you. Not only hulu but other places as well. It too is free. I run it on my lap top connected to the HD TV as a second monitor.

My laptop is old and has cheap graphics card so I can’t watch Hulu but can watch movies on my hard drive and some web movies.

Boxee has developed and very recently offered a box for sale that is a wireless web computer that eliminates the need for a computer.

If youare interested, check out Hulu and the network sites to understand how they provide stuff. Then get boxee and try it out as a common interface for all the various internet offerings.

It is all free, with some limited commercials but is the future. The cable companies are going to be left with only internet and telephone before very long

Which will precipitate the most important change of all: WE will pick what/when to watch instead of the other way 'round.

Doesn't sound like much, but that's the biggest change yet that will be wrought by the interweb thingy.
