I have wrote before about ditching DirecTV for internet TV. Mostly this was possible with software like Vuze. Which had you downloading torrents. We loved the option of adding Boxee to the mix, but then Hulu kicked them in the balls. So in attempt for you to forget about Boxee, Hulu released their own desktop software.

I would love to insert a great review here for it, but we forget until we leave home, it only works in the US. I am not sure why, the people that would steal the content can still get to it through proxies. But never the less I sit in Canada today, with a box telling me I am not welcomed here. So much for watching my reruns of “Doogie Howser, M.D.

One of the other things they are working on that looks to be promising is ‘Time Based Browsing.” Allowing you to look pretty much at a tv guide of when the shows came on and click to play them. Once they get a few more networks onboard Hulu will be taking off even more.
