Hulu Plus is now streaming to the 7-inch Sony Dash. Yeah, I’m somewhat surprised too. But it somewhat makes sense for both products when you get down to it. Sony wants to build up a rich application suite for the Dash. Throw in a little something for everyone if you will. It’s marketed as a [...]
Some big news out of the Boxee Box launch event just now: Netflix and Hulu Plus are both coming to the asymmetric streamer. There’s no timeline on Hulu Plus — Boxee told us talks have just begun — but Netflix should be live by the year, and that’s a major requirement if Boxee is going [...]
Google TV is a sad clown right. All dressed up and ready to have fun, but performing in a cemetery. Hulu is blocked, along with all the network’s sites.

That’s a bad thing if [...]
Hulu and Google TV aren’t supposed to get along. You’re not supposed to be able to access the site via the included web browser. But you can. You can watch Hulu on a Google TV unit if you really want to. All it takes is about five seconds of your time — hacking and modding [...]
