I have icons on my desktop, but I have them hidden and use a desktop menu in the taskbar to access them. Hides the clutter but still keeps my most-used programs in easy reach.

Cut the cord in 2002 and went for years without Hulu or torrents or anything else. It's amazing how much time you find for living life when you no longer have insta-tube.

I don't watch sports, and I couldn't care less about "event"-type programming (parades, etc.). Cutting the cord is one of the best things I ever did.

Between the free version of Hulu for current programming (or network websites for stuff Hulu doesn't have) and Netflix for stuff on DVD, I don't really see the benefit of HuluPlus. If Hulu doesn't run it currently, almost everything comes out on DVD eventually and ends up available through Netflix. And now that Netflix will stream to my iPhone, I have everything I want without any need for HuluPlus at all.

I quit my cable in 2002. For a long time didn't really follow any current shows, and then Hulu came along...

Now I have an old laptop hooked up to my tv, and I stream Hulu to that. I kinda miss the freedom of not following tv at all, so looking at maybe scaling back the shows I follow in the near future.

No no no no no no no no no no no.

Please make it go away. HOW has this cheeseball gimmick gained such momentum? Ugh.

My question as well - internet streaming?

Poll options should have been multiple choice! ;-)

My FAVORITE way is via my laptop hooked to my tv. My parents bought a new laptop, and I inherited their old one, which provided a nice little dedicated Hulu-vehicle for my bedroom TV. The problem with that is my little presentation mouse/pointer is SOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW moving across that big screen, and I have no keyboard (for when Hulu logs you out and you can't get to your queue!). Looking into remedying that soon with a mini wireless keyboard/trackpad</a href>, but waiting to see if the price will come down or more options will become available.

I also watch on my computer while working or surfing at home. Generally I'll go halfsies on my screen real estate for that - Hulu on the bottom, work on the top. Maybe one of these days I'll invest in a second monitor, but this works for now.

I would LOVE to set up a media server, but until wireless input devices get a little more practical, I'm waiting on that step. But seriously, who needs cable anymore? :D
