Goodbye Cable, Hello Hulu
I’ve recently discovered Hulu.com. Hulu brings together a large selection of videos from more than 100 content providers, including FOX, NBC Universal, MGM, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Bros. and more. Virtually all of the shows that I would want to watch are available.
I’m even able to watch it on my TV via my Mac mini, which I have attached to the TV. The experience has been so positive that I’ve canceled my cable (reduced to only Broadband internet service) and haven’t looked back.
Now, if only Hulu would work on Apple TV I’d have everything I’d want. For now I’d settle for some way to control Hulu using the Apple Remote. As it stands right now I have to use my laptop and RemoteDesktop to control the Hulu interface. This isn’t that big of a deal as I can kick off my play “queue” using the laptop and kickback without having to touch it again.
