I asked about them both... It doesn't support Hulu, but nobody does (apparently they use proprietary stuff that requires an actual browser). As for Netflix, they guy giving me the demo says it does, indirectly. You'll need to start the movie on a PC that can negotiate Netflix's DRM system, but after that, the box will be able to pull the Netflix stream over your network onto the TV.

That's what I was told, anyway, but other people are reporting that it doesn't do Netflix at all. I've asked for clarification and will get back to you.

Does it support Hulu and Netflix? I won't buy it if it doesn't.
