Edit–Hulu is now Completely free and open to the public! No registrations!
Wow, this is a really amazing website! People are waiting for a good quality, reliable, and easy to use web-TV viewing experience. There are many contenders such as programs like Joost, but nothing beats what you get from Hulu!
Hulu is a free (currentley in private beta), online service, backed by beefy real TV networks like Fox and NBC, that streams full screen, complete episodes of popular, well known TV Shows. It is completley free, and as a result there are about 4 ten second ads per TV show, which is a small price to pay for the varietey and ease of use.
As you see there are many popular TV shows that can be watched, the Office, The Simpsons, Heros, and a whole lot more. They have over 70 titles that you can watch instantly over the net.
The video quality in full screen is accecptabe, not HD, but not grainy either. It plays in a hulu Flash player, and you can’t download videos even through a flv ripper. The hulu flash player supports closed captioning, which is a plus because the need for it always arises in the most unpredictible situations! Another great addtion is the ability to embed the videos! That’s right you heard(read) correctley. Hulu will provide you with code that you can use to embed the full eisode of whatever TV show you are watching at the time, and even gives you the option to show only certain clips of it!
Hulu is like watching TV, but with a online bonus. You can read and post reviews of entire TV shows or particular episodes, you can read discriptions of the episodes, or just chat with other users who like to watch the same TV shows as you!
Really there isn’t much more i can say about hulu. It just works! It gives you exactly what you expect, if not more! There are really no kinks i see right now, even though it is still in Beta! The videos stream nice and uninterupted with a standad broadband internet connection, and the lates episodes are always there waiting for you to watch! I think this is the frontrunner in providing online TV for free, because it is acctually supported by real TV networks, is in-browser, and has a very easy to use site. This is the only service that might be an actual substitute to watching tv on TV! I strongly reccomend this it really is a good reliable service! A 9/10!
Gotta run,
See ya next time,
