The popular US video streaming service Hulu is treating the UK as its "number one priority," and we could see the service launching as early as September.

I use Hulu at work (yay for US-based IP ranges) and I must say, I do like the way it works.
Can not wait for it to come over here.

I hope "in the near future" is months away not a year

I think the success of iplayer has shown that this is exactly what the british public want.

Be nice if they let it work in Boxee.

While streaming videos does sound nice, throttling will prevent its use.

I hope the "number two priority" is making Hulu not stop to buffer 480p video 45 times in a 21-minute show.

I tried it a while back with hotspot shield it ran quite well through a proxy...

Looking forward to the release but whats the UK networks gonna think of this when they pay big money for the rights to some US shows.
