Hulu Desktop ReviewGreat Program & it does full screen--One small problem tho... - Version: 0.9.8.2, 11/21/2009 10:19AM PST

I love this program. It is far superior to the standard program that requires that you use a browser such as Safari or Firefox. I truly like all the provisions that it offers including full screen at three different resolutions. When using either Low (480) or Medium (700) I can use it with my Verizon Aircard with no delays (full buffering).

One minor problem (I call it minor, others may not think so) that I did have with this version is if you have been using the program and exit completely out to do other things using other programs and don't reboot, but try to go back into Hulu, my system locks up. Screen will go black but nothing happens. Must do a "Force Quit" (Cmd, Opt, Esc) and ultimately do a restart/reboot before being able to go back and use Hulu Desktop.

I'm using Mac OS 10.5.8.

This program is well on it's way to becoming a WINNER and for those who habitually complain about products that are FREE--all I can say is go get a life! The developers of this program have got a good thing going and I look forward to your next release. In the meantime, I plan to continue to use this program (in spite of it's MINOR problem!

Aside from comments about the plugin being PPC and the app not being 64 bit, the real issue here is that this software does NOT have a full screen mode which covers up my dock and menu items. So it leaves these showing and it is distracting. If I use Safari to view Hulu I can click on the box and get full screen. True the controls aren't as nice but for my iMac 27 the real deal is seeing the full screen.

This is more important to me, so PLEASE HULU add FULL SCREEN to the software!!
