I’m frankly surprised by the lack of recent news about over-the-top video in the US.
While BBC iPlayer is increasingly available on multiple devices in the UK, though not yet in form of mobile network enabled iPhone/Android app, Hulu and its minor competitors appear essentially stuck in the PC world.
Yes, one could connect its computer to the TV screen. Of course it’s not the same thing. I wish I could just receive a feed like the one below onto a widget-enabled STB, press OK on the remote control and play the latest Heroes episode seamlessly…



Actually Boxee developed Hulu compatibility and brought it on a few STBs, including Apple TV and Boxee Box. Unfortunately Hulu blocked it. Twice. The latest updates on the Hulu-Boxee dispute are here: http://www.techcrunch.com/tag/boxee/
