For reference, I get ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, UPN, PBS all in HD. Until  
USA, Comedy Central, and Cartoon Network start broadcasting OTA, I  
will be unable to view the Daily Show, Colbert Report, Psych, Burn  
Notice, etc.... Also, I was able to watch Firefly on Hulu. As far as I  
know that's not being broadcast anywhere. These are some of the  
reasons that Hulu interests people.
