That looks interesting. It might be nice for my Mac Mini upstairs that is pretty much only used to stream TV shows off the web.

Are you using it? I don't want to be the guinea pig..... :popcorn:

I just finished installing it & am watching the 1st episode of season 3 of Stargate SG-1. So far so good.

Works pretty good for me.

I was struck by how the system requirement is a 2.4, so rules out even the latest minis (including mine).

But plex works so well I can't really think of a reason to use it in place of plex.

Yeah - am not sure why one would use this, when Plex does Hulu now, and TiVo, and movies, and Netflix, etc., etc.

I must be wrong. I read the press reports earlier this week when it came out and that is what it said, but haven't clicked on a link to actually read them myself.

how the system requirement is a 2.4

What does that even mean?

Here you go:

Hulu Desktop is a free download and requires a Mac with a 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo or comparable processor, 2GB of RAM, and Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or later. You'll also need Adobe Flash 9.0.124 and a 2Mbps Internet connection. wrote:
