tl;dr:
ABC, NBC and Hulu are all blocking access to their on-demand streamed TV services when accessed on a Google TV box.
ABC and NBC are claim the browser is unsupported (Google TV is Chrome 5 and is supported), although it's clearly them wanting to get a licensing deal from Google and putting up interference in the meantime.
At least Hulu is upfront, and says they don't want to serve Google TV without the viewer having a paid Hulu Plus account.

For me this is a net neutrality issue as much as anything else. Bits is bits coming into my modem and into my house. What kind of display and device I want to use to consume the mediaon is my business and not the content providers.
