Come on folks, forest from the trees. They're trying to keep cable subs _up_. That's it, nothing else. Why? Well, it's a business. The revenue from Hulu likely pales in comparison to the existing model, but is a great alternative to skim some money off the geeks who bit-torrent. Who, from a social standpoint, are a relative minority of the demographic they cater to. Exactly.

This increases the audience and potential viewers of adds. Also is there a way to get rantings from boxee for content providers? I would think this would be more accurate than nielsen ratings. I once got one of those nielsen rating sheets and you had to fill out all kinds of stuff. With something like Boxee they could know exactly how much their commercial/show was watched (how it was rated).

I just bought an AppleTV and just installed Boxee only to find out the previous day, Hulu content was killed. This made me so upset because I just spent $349 on this box and half the content I wanted to be able to watch is now not there. It's hard to believe they would do this as there is really no difference watching Hulu on my computer with a 24" screen than there is watching it on a 34" screen from further away. This whole thing has left me looking for alternatives. I have found one that it almost as convenient to Hulu and there are no ads, bittorrent. I've never used bittorrent before, but it's fast. You add 'Ted' to it and your shows download automatically. Now I have everything I wanted, and Hulu and the networks have lost out on their dollars. I'd happily go back, but they are going to have to make it easier than what I got now, which is pretty darn easy. So they have a choice, put it back up, or lose out. I could care less. I just want to watch the shows. And, hey, I didn't cancel my cable. I still pay over $200 a month and have 3 DVRs and 4 TVs in my house. All that money is going somewhere, right?
