I understand that my main beef is with the content producers. I think that if Hulu and Netflix brought more money to the table they could get better arrangements that don't include as many weird restrictions. Netflix doesn't seem to have device restrictions the way Hulu does either, and I can't help but think Hulu shouldn't have offered that concession to the networks at all. Having 30 Rock but not being able to watch it on my Apple TV is basically a legal bait-and-switch to me. I'm not watching TV on my laptop instead of my big TV with the big speakers.
