I was looking at a lot of media players and the android ones and propitiatory ones all seem to only offer hulu plus.

are there any cheap windows based players? i have only seen a couple that are basically tiny computers and are pretty expensive in the $250 + range minus Windows and Other necessary things.

I would like to watch free content on the tv and hulu seems like one of the better offerings.

Also looking for a service that offers local news from north america i have seen that livestream offers a bunch maybe 50 tv stations that stream their local news at differtent times of the day and I would like to setup a system where I could watch morning lunch dinner and late news across the country and always have a news cast someplace that is live that I could tune into.

I am in the usa if that matters.

thanks

Try an Asus chromebox. $180 bucks in the USA. I just ordered one.

Ahh! Chromebox in the living room, very interesting!
