Hulu.com – the best TV/Movies on the Internet
Posted By RichC on March 17, 2008
A friend of mine asked me where he could find television content streamed on his notebook computer when he was away from home, and I joked “get a Slingbox.” After thinking, I mentioned that most networks air their recent episodes online (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) and that I tried a service call Joost which I thought was the best service. (EDIT: removed the Joox link) BUT …
I was wrong — Hulu.com is better, and here’s why: tons of content. From television programing on demand to full length movies all in excellent streaming quality … even full screen isn’t too bad. Hulu is doing a fantastic job and best yet it is now out of Beta … so all you need to do is to sign up for a free account and check it out. You won’t be sorry. (I just enjoyed episode 1 (Pilot) of WKRP in Cincinnati – what you want, when you want.)
