Ads (some you can skip)

The ads are annoying. In certain ways ...the 49 second tid bits of crap are just like watching basic cable. Some ads even go longer. Yet, it seems they want you to PAY to get RID of the ads - which people will find a way around.

This makes sense...

Hulu wants the "TV version" of Hulu to be Hulu Plus for $10/month.

They don't want it to be too easy to watch the free web version of Hulu on a television. They already proved this when they blocked Boxee from accessing Hulu.

This policy is nothing new. Google TV is just a new device.

Hulu, don't waste our time. We already had to deal with the less than intelligent decision to go digital, killing widespread coverage of broadcast tv.
