Developer’s Description

Stream Hulu videos to your desktop.

Hulu Desktop is a lean-back viewing experience for your personal computer. It features a sleek new look that's optimized for use with standard Windows Media Center remote controls or Apple remote controls, allowing you to navigate Hulu's entire library with just six buttons. For users without remotes, the application is keyboard and mouse-enabled. Hulu Desktop is a downloadable application and will work on PCs and Macs. It will initially launch as a beta product during which we plan to gather and incorporate user feedback to improve the service.

Pros
Easy to install, Simple Interface, Just Load up and Get going.
Cons
Hulu likes to display and actually force you to watch the latest video added to hulu. This is pretty lame but, you can just pause that video, and find the one that you want to watch.
Summary
This program gives a simple interface to someone who doesn't want to keep having to go to Hulu. The only downside I have about this program is that the latest video added to Hulu starts to play right after you start up the program. This can be pretty annoying but is easy to get over. Overall, anyone who is a big Hulu fan should consider getting this program.
awesome product!

Pros
Very useful and convenient.
Cons
Doesn't always have all the show or movie that you would like to see but most of the time its there.
Summary
So far a very slick and intuitive app to have for Mac.

Pros
This application blows away going to the website. I highly recommend it for people who catch their shows on Hulu. If you're already familiar with the Apple remote then you're going to love it.
Cons
None yet. Still in beta...would love to see it incorporated into the AppleTV when the full version becomes available. Are you listening Apple? A boy can dream...
Summary
Don't waste your time reading my review...you should be downloading it.
Great! But can't stop autoplay!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Wow, fantastic quality, remote control, easier than Miro to use except... how do you stop the auto-play from firing up when you launch it? Excellent app all around, and if Bravo will ever "get it" about digital distribution, Hulu Desktop might keep people off bittorrent.
Works very nicely thank you!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'm not a regular Hulu user, only going there every few weeks. I just downloaded and install the Mac version of Hulu's new desktop software on my 2.4Ghz 17" MacBook Pro with 4GB of ram (late 2007). The picture quality is extremely good, yes it automatically works just fine with my Apple Remote. In fact, the only downside was that at times the video would stutter. This I blame on my network usage rather than the computer or software. My wife is in the other room playing on Second Life and streaming music. Another of my computers is pulling an average of 12-14 Mbps from the newsgroups. all of this on our Cox cable modem's 12 Mbps connection.
Program is good though has a ways to go :)

Pros
I think this product has some nice features that come with it. First of all the interface is nice. The interface is similar to that of windows media center and the PSP interface. .TV features are cool.
Cons
Has Interface Jitters Video and audio jittering occurs quite frequently. Wish they didn't fade the bottom menus. It would be better if it was more clear. Dislike it when the programs starts out with a video stream. Wish it went right to the program.
Summary
Over all this program was good except for a few jitter of the program in the interface and video jitters. I think the program could improve itself by including some features to search other video services as well is hulu like ashampoo clip finder. That would be neat. I think another improvement would be for the program too. Another improvement that could be made is to be able to have live chat rooms for certain genre lovers. like a chat room for anime in general that u can have open while watching a video in hulu, or like a House M.D. live chat if u are watching House M.D..... I think the program is going along well other than that. I'll make sure to keep up on ideas for the program that can be improved upon.
