Joost had some promise, but a recent update they did broke it for me. I'm really eager to get it working again, but I just don't get the feeling they're motivated anymore.

Sk--I have to say, there are times when I'd like to have the chance to watch things on the go. Plus, I sometimes connect my laptop to my TV. But of course it's no substitute for the image quality of regular television.
lister, I didn't realize that the site is limited to the U.S., but I am not surprised. Restrictive as it is, this is leaps and bounds more lenient than most of the content we've seen from Hollywood moguls so far.
And as for Joost, I've heard a lot of hype but haven't tried it for myself yet. The last time I looked, a few months ago, they didn't have anything I wanted to watch.

Most of the content sites are restricted to the US, both the pay ones and the advertising support. Same with any video on iTunes. It's as silly as the regions in DVDs, when will someone start understanding that culture is global?

Get boxee with hulu. I'm part of the private testing group for the windows alpha version. It needs a little work to iron out the bugs, and I'm really hoping someone releases an AcademicEarth plugin soon but I have to say... Awesome.
If you want a cheap HTPC to hook up to that nice 42" LCD tv there are guides how to put boxee on an AppleTV box. Plus, MicroITX form factor computers are becoming easier to find and powerful enough to handle these types of applications.
Note: AFIAK, fully functional versions for Mac and Linux have been out for many versions now.

Do you really have the patience to see 1hr 40 minute movies on your computer screen?
No, I was kidding. To hell with hulu.com.
