How Do I Stream Hulu to My Xbox?
The Xbox 360 does more than play games; it can be used to watch videos on the Internet through its own web browser. However, a website like Hulu that uses the Flash video format is not compatible with the Xbox 360's web browser. You can watch Hulu on the Xbox 360 by networking the game console with your computer while running an Xbox 360 video transfer program on the PC. The procedure is not complicated at all and neither the PC nor the Xbox 360 will be negatively affected by doing this.
