Hulu Desktop allows you to stream Hulu videos right to your desktop without visiting Hulu.com. It is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac OS so everyone is able to use it. It allows three different quality settings to allow you to select the highest video quality while ensuring the video plays without interruption from buffering issues. The program itself allows you to search for content similar to using Hulu.com and works well on a Home Theater Personal Computer (HTPC) since the navigation text is large.
I recommend giving Hulu Desktop a look since it allows you to stream the video to your desktop which can help it to play better. It is less stressful on your computer which allows you to do more on your computer and get better image quality.
Hulu Desktop is one more step toward the PC and internet changing the way we view TV programs and movies. With programs like Hulu Desktop catching on and high speed internet in the majority of homes it makes sense to veer away from cable and satellite TV. Hulu and other streaming services allow you to search for content and watch video on demand easier than any cable or satellite service. Hulu is currently completely free however there is word that a paid service may start next year.

In my opinion with the cost of high speed internet and cable TV being so high it makes sense to chose between them. I have chosen between them and I only have internet now. It does get boring at times not having many channels but the cost to get the channels I want is simply to high. My internet is over $50 a month. To add extended cable onto that makes the bill nearly $100 a month. Way to high for as much as I would use it.
With Hulu.com and Hulu Desktop I can watch TV shows when I want to and even pick which episode I want to watch. It would not surprise me if one day cable and satellite providers act only as internet providers allowing us to get our normal TV shows and Movies streaming from the internet.
