Let's simplify the math and say 1GB per hour of high quality streaming. Actually, we'll be very generous and say 2GB per hour. That's still 25 hrs per week of streaming video, and another 50GB of misc. internet usage. You think people will go over that? Again, that's being generous. More realistically it's closer to double that.

When can we get Hulu on the Apple TV?
That's an interesting question. I don't do either so I don't give it much thought. (Okay, Olympics and World cup would be two exceptions).
World Cup is available via live streaming. NBC blocked streaming of the Olympics, though.
We're probably all just screwed one way or another...![]()
HD files are nomally smaller then SD files because of better compression. I don't think the avg tv show would be 1GB per hour.
I love when the cry babies come from under their rocks to cry about a tiny sum of $10/month. LOL cheapos', by hundred, maybe thousand dollar products like iPhones, Blu Ray, PS3 360, etc....and you moan about $10/month....such little kids, I love the laughs. Thanks!
Here is the difference --
Ads in a magazine or newspaper, and some DVDs, I can easily skip over. However ads in Hulu are locked.
Hulu doesn't permit their content on Boxee last I checked.You can now, its called Boxee.
Enjoy your HD content on your phone!

You pay $50 at least for cable, with 10 times the ads.
this is actually triple-billing, and i can't believe you guys are really thinking you would pay for this!
what kind of jobs do you people have that you can afford a 100-150 dollar a month phone bill, a 50-70 dollar a month internet bill, (which probably includes some form of TV that will carry most of what is on hulu), and then pay 10 bucks a month for hulu, and STILL have to watch ads?
I can barely use hulu at it's current resolution because i don't have 20 mb internet at home...are you guys going to upgrade your internet plans to support 720p streaming? or are you going to wait 5 minutes for hulu to buffer so you can get your premium hd video, and then wait while the absurdly loud commercials play?
I'll be surprised if they have even 20,000 paid subscribers by christmas.
Wait what ???
if that was the case then why are we not using DVD disks for HD movies ?

Or the ads they play at the beginning of a movie in the theater.
