My understanding of the current situation is that Hulu is not
prohibiting displays on TV sets, as long as a "web browser" is
involved.  If you want to run Firefox on a HTPC to watch Hulu content,
you're ok.  Do the same thing with Boxee and you're evil scum.

Exactly what constitutes a web browser in the eyes of Hulu is not clear.
