Hulu Plus Officially Announced

, Jun 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Rumor after rumor, all of which were pointed at a paid version of one of the Internet's favorite media-streaming sites. And today marks the day you can put a big red 'X' on your calendar, because Hulu Plus is finally official. There's plenty of details to be had at the moment, and yet they're all dangerously scarce at the same time. Some of the rumors have turned out to be true, while still others are surprises.

The Daily Slash: June 24th 2010

, Jun 24th 2010 Discuss [0]

We're at the tail-end of the week, and we're not going to lie: we can feel it. All the way to our bones. If you're getting paid this Friday, hopefully you've already decided on something to buy yourself -- gotta spend that earned money, right? Or, maybe you've already waited in line for the thing you wanted to get yourself? That's probably the case. But, moving away from the Apple-phone for a short time, let's take a look at The Best of R3 Media. First up, we've got a software update for the EVO 4G coming soon, an updated keyboard that we want, and some wireless syncing for BlackBerrys. And then, in the Dredge 'Net, Hulu's still being passed around, RIM does pretty well for itself, and head to a Microsoft Store to play some Kinect. Read The Full Story

Hulu Plus Could be Adding CBS and Time Warner in Time for Paid Subscription

, Jun 23rd 2010 Discuss [0]

Until we get some kind of official confirmation, we're still sticking to Hulu Plus. It just has that kind of ring to it that we can't ignore. And it's been awhile since we last heard anything about the subscription-based service for one of the Internet's most popular video streaming services. While we already know that the subscription service will likely appear on Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Apple's iPad, the content of that subscription has been tossed around all willy-nilly. Thanks to a leak, though, we can start to see what may be utilized as content. Read The Full Story

Hulu Coming to the Xbox 360, iPad, and Other Devices Thanks to Subscription Service

, Jun 9th 2010 Discuss [3]

Hulu Plus. Hopefully you think that has a ring to it, because with another "confirmation" from Reuters, it's looking more and more like one of the Internet's favorite media streaming websites is about to add a premium feature. We've already heard plenty about what we could expect if such a thing did happen, if Hulu Plus did become a reality, and so we're not surprised that two of the previous devices are mentioned again in the report. Now, all we need is a time line for launch. Read The Full Story

Hulu Expected to Appear on Xbox 360 at E3

, Jun 2nd 2010 Discuss [0]

There's all sorts of talk about Hulu getting some kind of premium service. One that, obviously, you'd have to pay into to get any of the benefits from. And, while many people assumed that the iPad would be the means to that end, considering its presence in the media consumption market, there was another platform that many didn't even consider. And if sources are correct, it looks like that's the way Hulu is going. Following in the steps of Netflix, Hulu looks like it'll be making a long-term appearance on Microsoft's Xbox 360.

, May 18th 2010 Discuss [0]

Hulu's rumored May 24th "Hulu Plus" subscription looks like it'll miss its predicted debut, according to sources speaking with AllThingsD.  The company is apparently planning a $9.95 monthly subscription package which would allow access to a back catalog of streaming content; however, "people familiar with the company" are now saying Hulu Plus is unlikely to be ready in time for a launch next Monday.

Hulu Cites Multiple Reasons for Turning Down HTML5 at This Point

, May 13th 2010 Discuss [0]

Everything is eventual, and even through this discouraging blog post from Hulu on the state of HTML5 in relation to the video streaming service, there's a light at the end of the tunnel that we can all look forward to. (If you dislike Flash, and are hoping for HTML5 adoption, that is.) Today Hulu updated their video player today, and while some may have assumed it would ultimately be HTML5 ready, that's not the case. And it might not be for a little while longer.

The Daily Slash: April 22nd 2010

, Apr 22nd 2010 Discuss [0]

We're one day away from the weekend, so we've got to make tonight special. You know, because it's one day before the weekend. And that's got to be a holiday somewhere. So, with that in mind, we'll start the Best of R3 with a bit of Vodafone UK Google Nexus One goodness, and then some Hulu iPad talk, and then some bad news for the Nexus One. And then in in the Dredge 'Net, we've got a watch made from the Ash of a volcano, Microsoft finally releases some touch goodness, and ARM executives letting everyone know they don't need to be bought.

Hulu Plus $9.95 subscription streaming due May 24th?

, Apr 22nd 2010 Discuss [0]

We've been hearing talk of Hulu paywalls since the start of the year, but according to The LA Times the date we should be circling in our diaries is May 24th.  They've heard - from "people with knowledge of the plans" - that Hulu are planning $9.95 per month access to "Hulu Plus", a service which would offer a more extensive catalog of Glee, Lost and other TV show episodes.

Hillcrest Labs Kylo TV browser falls foul of Hulu

, Mar 22nd 2010 Discuss [2]

To Hillcrest Labs, it must have all seemed so straightforward: take the core Mozilla browser engine, develop a custom UI that can be clearly seen at a distance, and optimize websites so that those people surfing the net via a PC or Mac hooked up to their TV will have a better browsing experience.  The app in question, Kylo, in turn helps them push their Loop Pointer.  Problem is, just like Boxee have discovered, content providers can get a bit sniffy when you're making it easier to put their web-based media onto HDTVs.  All of a sudden, Hillcrest are finding that Kylo has lost access to Hulu.

The Connected TV Reality

, Mar 16th 2010 Discuss [0]

In March of last year, I canceled my service with DISH Network to embark on a simple experiment. The question was, did I need my television service provider, and the experiment was to see if streaming shows from the Internet could satisfy my television habits. I connected one of my more powerful notebooks as elegantly as possible to my TV via HDMI and the experiment began.

The TV shows they are a-streaming…

In the first few weeks of this experiment, I came to find out that 90% of the TV shows my wife and I watched on a regular basis were available online from either the networks’ websites themselves or from Hulu. What suffered however was live sports and shows for our kids, which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing as kids probably get enough TV as it is.

Boxee defend Hulu integration in response to NBC blast

, Feb 5th 2010 Discuss [1]

Boxee's on-again, off-again love affair with Hulu has been one of the more frustrating elements of the otherwise excellent media player, and while we pondered out loud last month that paywall propositions from both companies might lead to a more amicable arrangement, it seems the entertainment industry knives are still out.  Earlier this week, Jeff Zucker, President and CEO of NBC, accused Boxee of "illegally taking" Hulu content and that NBC would be "open to negotiations" with the software firm; Boxee have responded by denying that they have done anything illegal, and pointed at the content providers, not Hulu, for insisting on the block.
