I don't think Hulu has any interest in adding a pre-streaming test such as Netflix does. It seems their current focus is to deliver content to folks using Roku devices which is due out some time in late Q1-'09 or early Q2...

BTW, if you hunt for an "unofficial" Roku forum you will find it is possible to force different output quality but I know of no way to get that output across my network...d'oh!

One reason is likely that most mobile small device users are on a ridiculous 5GB/mo cap AND their EULA has some language restricting even use it to stream video content period. Basically their agreements separate web browsing from actually using the web for anything useful. Of course the whole area of pages with embedded video muddy those waters, hence the hard cap. Under the Hulu rules you could embed video in your own pages, visit the page watch the video and you are not in violation of the viewable content clauses in your MBB account acceptable use terms. Many so-called hotspots are adopting the same restrictions, especially those now under control of companies like AT&T. Even though content providers could easily offer small device streaming options.

That Hava Player sure looks interesting...I definitely want to look into more details as we have lots of bandwidth around here...still I have some questions on how it manages content and streaming to multiple clients. Also, how it might work with something like Hulu and the Netflix/RoKu combo...still it is a very interesting option to the Slingbox, especially since they go out of their way to mention the N8XX devices...as well as other TV locations in the house...interesting...THANKS!!
