The most popular way to watch t.v. shows now is to bring them to your desktop.

If you haven’t noticed yet, you will be shocked to know, that Hulu has a desktop app for OS X, Linux and Windows.
In this post, I will talk about the windows version of the Hulu desktop, most of the things I mention here should apply to the OSX version.

First of all, you need to download the Hulu desktop software here. Second you need to read the requirements, this depends on witch OS your using.
All the info you need is on Hulu site. Once you download and install the app, you will need to either create an account or long in with an existing one.

Ok, now on to the features…..

Unlike the Hulu site, the desktop app’s layout is totally different, First of all, the que is on the bottom right and displays the contents in alphabetical order. This can make it difficult to find the episode you want to watch, but on the other hand it does have some great options, like full screen, quality settings and like the site, it allows you to pause and play the show.

Here is some info I found on Hulu that may help:

Hulu Desktop is a lean-back viewing experience for your personal computer. It features a sleek new look that’s optimized for use with standard Windows Media Center remote controls or Apple remote controls, allowing you to navigate Hulu’s entire library with just six buttons. For users without remotes, the application is keyboard and mouse-enabled. Hulu Desktop is a downloadable application and will work on PCs and Macs. It will initially launch as a beta product during which we plan to gather and incorporate user feedback to improve the service.

Watch the video
Use the “menu” or “back” button on your remote to toggle between the current video and the menu (on your PC, use the tab or escape key). From the menu, use your left or right keys to move between menu items and press “OK” or “Play” on your remote to choose a selection. While watching the video, you can view your progress within the video by tapping the up or down arrow, and then use the same arrows to adjust volume. Your remote also controls playback: you can pause or resume a video (use the spacebar on your keyboard), jump forward or back, or seek a particular scene.
