Welcome to Pure TV Network

Today I read on techcrunch about Hulu finally being launched into Beta. I must admit that I hadn’t been interested in Hulu before, but I think it was because Techcrunch’s previous coverage was entertaining, but crappy. Techcrunch should have just said that this is NBC’s and Fox’s method of streaming their TV shows. Essentially competing with ABC (and many others) that are using Move Networks’ technology.

Anyway, I went and checked out Hulu. I hope they release this into beta soon, because everyone knows I love streaming TV on my computer. In fact, I think I’m almost to the point where I watch more TV on my computer than I do on my TV. Just today I was thinking that I need to find a way to connect my computer to my TV since it’s more fun to watch it on my TV.

The latest Hulu blog post has an embedded video of The Office. Here’s the full episode of The Office streamed online

This is going to be pretty cool to watch. Techcrunch said the following about content on Hulu

As for the content on Hulu, TV shows will come from Fox and NBC, and over fifteen cable channels including Bravo, E!, FX, SciFi, Sundance, and USA. Movies will come from Fox and Universal, and following a deal signed just this Friday, from Sony and MGM as well. Hulu says many of its short clips will come from independent content providers, and it’s also signing licensing deals with others such as Smithsonian and the WWE.

That’s a pretty powerful lineup. The video streaming is really interesting too. I don’t mind watching a bit of ads in order to get free tv streamed online.
