| Hyped expectations...
"Others say that it’s a decent product but that the hype surrounding it sets up too many expectations."
I'd say that too. It's OK, but it doesn't meet the Hyped expectations of many, Including me.

| Their are ads that last roughly 30 seconds 3 times in a 1 hour episode. The quality is much higher than Youtube but not nearly as good a Divx-Stage6 was. R.I.P. Stage6.

hulu is great
@comcast.net
| Hulu rocks
I dont understand all this B.S. that Hulu is no good or wont last. WTF?
Do these people want to kill.. make it go away like Stage6?
Hulu's quality is really good(not as good as Stage6 - Divx is the best vid on the net) and it's great to catch a few shows on the fly! I dont have cable and have my PC hooked up to my 42 inch LCD, thus Hulu, Joost and others fill the content gap and saves me a ton! |

|  I tried it out and made a clip from an old TV show
1 nice feature they have is to take a clip from a video and share it(LEGALLY), either through an email or by embedding the clip on a web page.
To test this out I created a 3 min clip from 1 of the funniest segments from WKRP in Cincinnati. The Turkey Day show.

| I like Hulu
I get to watch shows I missed plus many others (old school Battlestar Galactica). There is only a couple of commercials and they're short.
It's a step in the right direction for the TV stations. Instead of going through the trouble of downloading them I can stream them on Hulu.
I hope it sticks around for a while.

What killed stage6 was their requiring to use their proprietary player to view. the only peeve i have with ads in the content is its the SAME AD over and over.

Well while that's a major improvement over TV advertising it's still something I am not interested in. 90 sec of ads is 90 sec too much.
I'd rather stick with low quality youtube videos than watch ads. |

I've seen all that I wanna see. Way too many junk in there. They should add Doctor Who. Even better if they would show the old Doctor Who. |

I think it's definitely a step in the right direction!
I've yet to see any decent youtube videos that i actually want to watch - let alone any that look good full screen.
Hulu also has movies! Steve martin's "The Jerk"? Classic!
It's also the quickest seek time I've EVER seen for streamed content. I could jump around a 2 hour movie from 1min to 45min and it was never more than around 3 - 5 seconds from click-to-play!
And for free?
I still like having the HD divx/mkv rip to watch as I please - but for something like a monday when I ask a co-worker "did you see the new simpsons?" and they say no - within 30 seconds I can load up Hulu and show them the highlights. |

I like when they do text advertising on the page, I can easily block that.
Video ads suck. I don't care about their expenses. I want it free and I want it now 
Using Firefox, Adblock, Admuncher, HOSTS to block that crap. Also pay for DVR service through my cable co just to skip ads. Yeah I hate ads. |

Sorry, didn't work. Apparently I am from the wrong country, so I can't watch it.
Thanks though. Back to torrents. |
