At least Vz gives me internet fast enough to do that.

I feel terrible for people who have no idea that they've missed two episodes and are confused by references to the episodes they didn't see.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22736341 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:07:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22719817 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22719817 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 18:50:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22646888 said by Xanthos:

Both shows are running repeats this week. The USA web site states " new episodes" return July 9th.
Yes, this post was made LAST Thursday, not today.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22646888 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:22:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22646451 said by gentux:

Cable companies have no desire for this to happen. The companies that own hulu also own cable companies and have 0 desire to give up their cable TV revenue. It's quite likely that this is the reason that hulu's parent companies made them block boxee/xmbc/ps3 ect.. viewing of hulu's content. (I say quite likely but I'll eat my laptop if that isn't the reason ;-) )
Hulu investors do not own cable companies but all have cable programming/channels and OTA properties. Newscorp, Fox parent company does have 34% interest in DirecTV if that's what you are thinking of. Correct me if I am wrong.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22646451 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:41:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22645941 said by KenAF:

I get that, but only a small minority of cable subscribers have (or want) dedicated computers in their living room.

To get the masses to cancel cable, dedicated HD streaming would have to be available thorugh an inexpensive STB or a gaming console like the Xbox360, PS3, etc.

The day that Hulu adds HD that can be streamed to a set-top box...will be the same day that many more folks cancel cable / FiOS TV.
Hulu had a few programs in HD a month or two back.

I don't need it streamed to a set-top box, that's what the HTPC is for. ABC's HD online streaming was acceptable but like Cogdis , I prefer to download the HD equivalents (and then use Boxee to manage it all :)

Realistically, this is not likely to ever happen, at least not for free. The latest talk is that Hulu will limit much of its content to pay subscribers at some point. I would personally have no problem paying a modest fee for Hulu if everything were in 1080p and available to a new or existing box like the Xbox360, PS3, Roku, or TiVo.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22639007 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:51:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22638904 , I prefer to download the HD equivalents (and then use Boxee to manage it all :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22638904 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:30:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22638879 said by darcilicious:

While I do like their (relatively) new desktop player, I have yet to view a Hulu video on my 47" and been able to call it "quite good"... but I do like it on my computer monitor and laptops :)
I also prefer to watch on my TV, which is why I like to download in HD. I wouldn't mind streaming if it was HD (fox's streaming isn't bad but they dont have episodes up very long).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22638879 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:23:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22638871

Just FYI, the guide does not have the HD versions of these marked as new tonight, you may want to check your DVRs.

Also -- Sunday night, True Blood and Hung are not marked as new on HBO HD.

Oddly, all these are marked new on the SD versions of the channels.
I noticed that as well. When I was looking at another guide, it said "Repeat." I was thinking, repeat!!!...why in the hell is it a repeat. It should be a new one. But based on the description, I could tell that it was a new one. It's probably just someone's stupid error.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22612376 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:39:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-USA-HD-Burn-Notice-and-Royal-Pains-22611302 said by kes601:
