     Perhaps there will be code that can be shared with this sort of 
thing so that a plugin for Hulu might turn into a more general purpose
internet TV plugin. 

     One thing that has bugged me about the 0.21 mythnews plugin is that
videos are not streamed and there isn't an option to download videos and
watch them later. I could see streams and downloads in general handled in
a similar way as sorts of recordings. You could schedule a stream or a 
download to occur and then perhaps see it in the recordings menu with 
regular TV shows.

     Miro seems to work along these lines somewhat.
