So I have this great 32″ LCD HD TV from Vizio in my office at work.  So my partner and I decide to buy a mini computer and turn it into a streaming video machine.  I thought I’d try hulu.com on it. Burn Notice doesn’t look so good – very choppy even at full buffering.  Just to check to make sure the PC can handle the 1920 x 1080 resolution on the TV, I decided to try and watch some Daily Show clips off Comedy Central.  They are not choppy at all – the resolution leaves something to be desired, but the playback experience as a whole on the Daily Show was a lot better than on hulu.com.  I’ll update to see if different shows on hulu.com from different producers looks any better, but I am beginning to think that hulu.com just won’t be what I want it to be because the content makers are hampering it (it’s not a hulu.com technical difficulty – its just that the content providers still don’t get it).
