Hulu has released Hulu Desktop in beta. This application, for Mac OS X and Windows, allows you to watch Hulu content with only using a remote for control.
I think that this is an interesting move on their part, and you can see why they wanted to stop Boxee from showing Hulu content. If they will also create a Windows Media Center plugin, that would allow this content to be viewed within the Media Center UI, I will be that much closer to canceling Comcast cable service.

This is all fine and good but I just can't sit at my computer for hours watching streaming content.
ReplyDeleteIf they can make an app that works with my IP enabled BlueRay player; I'm there.
Hulu can be a replacement for Cable or Satellite TV. With Hulu Desktop, you can be still sitting in front of your TV.
ReplyDeleteI use PLEX (an XBMC flavor for mac) to watch hulu, local content, Vimeo, Academic Earth, among other things with my laptop hooked up to a 24" monitor via HDMI. The stock apple remote is almost perfect.
ReplyDeleteNow, just take out my 24" monitor and plug it in to a 60" LCD or something and you'll be cookin' with gas. http://plexapp.com
