HULU: Re-run Heaven

Hulu: Ad-supported (2 minutes of ads for an hour show) network TV, streamed for free over the internet in 480p. Its vast catalog of shows turns the internet into your DVR. It offers hit TV shows from "Alf" and "The A Team" through "Family Guy" and on to "Lost" and "The Colbert Report," and blockbuster movies like "In the Line of Fire." No registration or downloads required.

The name Hulu comes from Mandarin Chinese. In Mandarin, Hulu has two interesting meanings, each highly relevant to the mission. The primary meaning is used in an ancient Chinese proverb that describes the hulu as the holder of precious things. It literally translates to "gourd," and in ancient times, the hulu was hollowed out and used to hold precious things. The secondary meaning is "interactive recording." Both definitions are highly relevant to the mission of Hulu.

There is no internal way to actually download and save the streaming video from Hulu, but there are at least two freeware programs that will let you do so, Hulu Video Downloader and Hulu Grabber.
