We started watching an episode of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" last night, and the hulu player kept stalling. We gave up on that and watched an episode of "King Of The Hill" instead. No trouble there. The computer we use to watch hulu videos is connected to the 'net wirelessly using a USB Wi-Fi card, and the machine only has USB 1.1. So, the connection is only like 11 Mb or something. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, it's not that fast, but it still seems to work OK. Full screen works well, too.

The videos will start playing decently and then the video will stop but the audio will continue. When I click on pause it takes it forever for the video to pause. The commercials are extremely choppy which is strange because why would they be any different than any of the other videos? I'm still using it but it's still annoying to use. I think it's a great idea. I think I just need a faster Internet connection and computer! It would also be nice if my computer would put flash video in full screen on my television like it does for other video formats. A lot of the issues I've got aren't Hulu's problems but still makes it annoying, I want to use it more! I’ve been having issues with Hulu.

I wanted to watch some TV, but the men in my life were busy playing games. Luckily I remembered that I had TV on my computer! ;-D I watched an episode of King of the Hill and 2 episodes of Scrubs. Neither of these had I seen before. The video was ok but the audio was amazingly clear. Only drawback was that when the guys play online it seems to cause an occasional hiccup in the broadband. But not a real issue because all I had to do was click the "pop-out" button and it started right up again. All in all, I'd say it's a pretty good beta. One I'll be using again. Cheers! Hey Shawno,

The only way to get one is to sign up at the site. That's what I did, and it took less than two weeks to get an invite. Go now and sign up!

I can only get 7 channels through it and I have to adjust it every time I want to get one of them. Sometimes when I adjust it I can get 3, then I have to adjust it again to get 3 more. There is snow, too. Really annoying. If you happen to have on of them there Hulu invites, I wouldn’t mind one ;)
