Hulu on its way to Windows Media Center via SecondRun.tv {Engadget HD}
Feb 11th 2009 7:34PM So, so far, PlayOn has no competition on the Xbox 360 when it comes to outputting Hulu on the system.
And no, please don't mention Tversity or modding the Xbox, I simply won't use those techniques.
$19.99 is better than nothing (Limited time for that price)

Netflix proclaims Roku, Xbox Instant Watch streaming problems resolved {Engadget HD}
Dec 6th 2008 1:11AM I still get 3 stars HD even on Verizon FiOS, I checked right after that announcement. One thing has changed though, all my HD movies are available to be watched in HD quality instead of just seeing it in regular quality like the past.
However, I still get that dang internet connection has slowed down message.
So really, I don't think anything has changed much.
Video proof of Jaspers with 256MB internal memory {Joystiq Xbox}
Dec 1st 2008 11:51PM So if my Xbox 360 says 14.2a on the back and it was made in September 4, 2008 it definitely isn't a Jasper?
It has the brick power supply with the vents but I have no way to test to see if I can access that 256 MB since I don't have a card.
Poll: How are you enjoying HD Netflix streaming on the Xbox 360? {Engadget HD}
Nov 22nd 2008 1:37PM Well, the Netflix capability is one of the reasons I decided to buy the Xbox 360. I was thinking of doing a huge upgrade to my computer when I saw the news on EngadgetHD about the announced deal between Microsoft & Netflix.
Buying the Xbox 360 has probably saved me $500 to $700 in computer upgrades just to allow it to be able to connect to a TV and view shows/movies from the hard drive. Also, PlayOn for the 360 is excellent because it allows me to watch videos from Hulu and Youtube.
Because of all these, the dream of abandoning Cable is not that far away if more networks decide to release their shows on these services.
Anyways, when I tried Netflix on the day of the update -- it didn't seem as awesome as the hype made it look to be.
First, even though I'm on a FiOS connection with and ethernet cable connected to my Xbox I only get 3 bars for the HD signal. What do I need to have to make it 4 bars?
Also, within watching 5 minutes of HD, the signal would degrade and then Netflix will downgrade to compensate because the net connection has "slowed". I wouldn't expect this from a direct ethernet connection to my router.
However, I did enjoy the fact that CBS releases it's new episodes the same day they're aired on broadcast television.
I was kinda sad I had to work the night a brand new episode of NCIS was broadcasted but I was surprised when I got home and tried looked through the NCIS collection on Netflix. The new episode was already in the queue ready to watch instantly!
It's only going to get better in the future and I am very proud of my Xbox 360 purchase. I also hope Microsoft mauls the PS3 and Wii this holiday season. Microsoft's aggressive price strategy to undercut it's rivals and their new deal with Netflix is sure to attract new shoppers who are unsure about Bluray but want to have an HD gaming/entertainment experience of their own this holiday season.
