Screw Hulu...if they wanted to be on the droid, the playbook, and the iPhone, they could...but they would rather fade into the darkness by shunning new technology.

They ARE the content providers, Hulu is jointly owned by NBC, Fox and Disney.

All these broadcast disputes are silly. You would think that they'd want as many people as possible watching their commercials! Another way is to watch TV online through sites like the TVDevo website. They offer live and recorded TV shows from around the world.
