Nope, like it said in the article (there *will* be a quiz
afterwards), I dropped DISH a year ago. ...
Not the point: it's the DEVICE I'm asking about! If you watch Hulu,
what do you watch it ON? And if a TV set, HOW?
PS: Thanks for leaving the comment on Linux Journal as well, Owen!
You're welcome, I think we all should, to help your rants get a good
start! We can even ask dumb questions!

satellite, nor any other kind of TV service in this house. Except
for the InterTubes, that is. We have Netflix + streaming, although
the streaming quality is not even quite 480p, so I usually just rent
a DVD or Blu-Ray. It seems like every time I turn around there's
another good on-line site for streaming content, too.
My only gripe is that you can't find *all* TV content on line, in
part due to (assumption here) Microsoft pressures to exclude Linux
users, and in part due to the fact that traditional television
content providers have not yet grasped the fact that the internet is
the new delivery mechanism.

Do you lash up a computer to the TV (MythTV etc)? Or just watch on
a computer screen?
I totally agree that the InterTube is getting closer and closer to a
reality. We've used both NetFlix and Amazon for old TV series and
movies and prefer it to other stunts. We play through a TiVo
typically, the downloads work to it.
But because of the constant wars between media providers, equipment
manufacturers, cable/dish etc .. with the poor consumer left in the
middle, and generally left out in terms of quality service, I'm
thinking our next TiVo/CableTV will be the internet.
