AppleTV, Boxee and Hulu

Running AppleTV with the Boxee hack. All videos look great - apple trailers, videos from a network share - except for HULU video. Anyone know of workarounds to make Hulu better on the Boxee / AppleTV setup?

The AppleTV doesn't really have the CPU (It's only 1ghz) necessary to stream Hulu videos smoothly. It's been an ongoing issue and is documented on Boxee's site.

Try setting your default Hulu resolution to 360p instead of 480p.. AppleTV can't really handle the 480p stream.

Hm. This is surprising. After all, you can get HD movies through iTunes on Apple TV.

hmm. thanks. I don't see where to change to 360p in Hulu, just a checkbox next to "Automatically... use 480p..."

Do I just uncheck that box?

THANKS
