The quality is good also. That is, compared to other streaming TV channels like ABC or the CW. It’s even getting HD quality content which will be even better.

Some Hulu features include:

* Share - Send an email to your friends about a certain show or clip.
* Embed - Put the show on your site.
* Details - What am I watching and when did it air?
* Feedback - Video issues? Report them.
* Fullscreen Playback
* Pop Out Window Playback
* Lower Lights - Makes the site background light gray instead of white.
* Rate - Rate the episode.
* Playlists - Keep track of what you watched. Even comes with RSS feeds and privacy settings.

The commercials are done right too. There are a few 30 second commercials every so often. Just like regular TV, only one, not 5 commercials at a time. Some advertisers are creating interactive and entertaining ads, others are just playing the same boring commercial over and over again.
