Hulu uses flash for video playback. The current Flash does not take advantage of the Revo Ion video GPU. But the Adobe Flash Beta does. The flash beta 3 plays Hulu in my browser and Hulu Desktop on my Revo without a problem. Be sure to use the Adobe Flash uninstaller before you install the Flash Beta 3.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably. I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem. I hope this helps Harold

I am wonderring much the same thing, but I am unfamiliar with this site. How do you get the answers to the questions you post. Please advise. I am particularly intrested in Samsung,at least with the units that have the internet router wireless connections which can give you, weather, sports, stocks info, etc.thanks Richard maniag@comcast.net

Yes. Amazon Instant, Netflix, Redbox Instant and VUDU - But not Hulu Plus. That was the big downside for me.

Chromebooks were built for streaming content off of the internet! I use mine with Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Youtube, CBS, Fox, NBC, PBS, etc.

Hi. Don't know direct answer to Amazon Cloud question but I can say, generally, that wireless connection is a huge frustration. You can use ONLY the proprietary Sony wireless dongle - costs about as much as the player. Decided this would be my last Sony experience. Moved to LG gear and much happier. No proprietary garbage.

I can't see why not! I just bought a new Chromebook and a new Samsung TV; it connects perfectly. Although I do not use the cable so much for my notebook, I enjoy it almost every evening for a selective video. I prefer "streaming" any day, it is so convenient! If it doesn't work for you, I believe there is a return policy. I would certainly give shot! Note: And if you are not aware, Amazon has a free "streaming" library for Prime users, which saves on Hulu Plus or Netflix, in addition to free expedited shipping on selected items. Enjoy!

I've watched movies on my eee pc from netflix using my home wireless dsl. Works great. No lags or anything.

Just got mine this week. Netflix, Amazon, Pandora, YouTube all configured quickly and easily. The wifi is an easy setup, too. You can connect a keyboard and mouse for most functions. I used my Logitech wireless. I agree. Did not want to pay AT&T; another $7 a month to rent a box. I did buy a Radio Shack DTV for broadcast, and the broadcast TV picture is excellent. Same with mp4 videos on a USB flash drive.

I was planing to buy this, but bought Sony SMP-N100 Network Media Player with Wi-Fi instead. It's something similar you get Netflix, amazon on demand, Pandora etc. plus you can stream from your computer and hulu is coming in fall. Bunch of other stuff. Good enough instead of cable box in my bedroom.

Hi F. Lee ~~ The key to good wi-fi connections seems to be to upgrade programs and drivers on any device. As for Windows 8, I LOVE it! It's intuitive, practical and fun. Take that naysayers. :) The Acer Iconia is fast, the screen is beautiful, and it's reliable.

This is a wifi model it does not work over a celular data network. To use the online fetures you'd have to have it connected to a wireless network.

Since Hulu uses Flash player you will see a 5-10% increase in playback. Not significant by itself but noticeable. The biggest bang for your buck with this device is native playback with H.264 encoded files and the like. I hope that answers your question.Here's a Tom's review answer that has Hulu specific improvements. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/netbook-10-inch-performance,2751-18.html

I tried ubuntu eee (before it was renamed "easy peasy") and my wireless did not work but compiz did.I then tried eeebuntu and compiz, wireless, and bluetooth all worked immediately, even on the live cd (booted off of a flash drive).I haven't looked into getting the elantech touch pad working like it does on the default xp install (gestures like zoom and scroll make it much easier to use) but everything else seems to be working great. Even dims the screen when idle.
