Can some please explain to me - That means you too Lawler - why Hulu actually cares what devices stream their shows? I really just don't get it. I want Hulu on my XBMC xbox, but that is clearly blocked as well - and it just makes no sense!.
My only guess is that you are effectively turning their service into an on-demand service, which would cripple cable companies abilities to charge for this service.
You hit the nail right on the head the Cable companies don't want their business threatened, it is ok to play media on "lean forward" mediums like a computer, but when they start being viewed on "lean forward" medium like a living room television, then some people get worried.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
