no seriously, I haven't sat down in front of the TV in like a MONTH. I don't have cable, and the last thing I saw was Shrek 2.
So I'm not gonna watch your network television, I'm gonna watch my favorite shows on HULU !! |

| Their site is a bit of a pain IMO. I like having these showed queued up so I can watch a load of them at a time. Plus when I use Hulu I can have a full screen display thanks to Hulu desktop and do something else on my other monitor like searching the web or working. |

Plus many other set top boxes.
I take that back, Hulu specifically doesn't want their service to be used on set top boxes. |

Thanks for not answering my question. Can you provide specific makes/models because Google isn't being kind to me. |

In my case the answer often is that I just watch a different show. I like my recreational time to be nice and easy. |

good thing there are torrents. sure its bad to support piracy but its not as bad because in this case it is the company that shut off a totally legit online method.
these are cases where i have no support at all for the content owners. its like when a music company pulls out of iTunes(because making loads of effort free money isnt as good as shitloads of money from robbery priced CDs) and then cries to big daddy Senator to make more anti-piracy laws.

My LCD TV has a Nintendo Wii attached and I get Hulu, CBS, Netflix, etc thru it using software on my Desktop called PlayOn TV that streams the shows to the WII wirelessly thru the wireless router. |

kudos:2 | There are a lot of STB, or equivalent, capabilities have have everything you mentioned, and a whole lot more. I have a Mac Mini running Plex hooked up to my TV and the available content is abundant. I'm still curious what actual TV/monitor has a Hulu capability built in that Gbcue  continues to reference. |

There are a bunch of LCD TVs for sale that have what they call "Internet Apps" access. And their ads imply you can go anywhere on the internet. Whether Hulu lets them access their web site is the question, since Hulu seems to check the browser ID info and device type before allowing access. |

And that's the crux of my question. Hulu "widgets" all seem tied to "traditional" computers (at least that's my perception from the Hulu website). So, can anyone point me to a TV/monitor that has a valid and authorized capability to directly display Hulu content? |
