The five minute buffer is completely worthless to me. Either you or my ISP is throttling content traffic horrendously. Ironically, advertisement traffic is entirely unaffected, which leads me to believe you are intentionally doing this. I've been monitoring the real-time bandwidth graphs on my router and the downstream traffic spikes to full throughput during the commercials and then immediately plummets to ~40KB/s. The next experiment will obviously be to tunnel Hulu via VPN to bypass my local ISP and attempt to isolate the issue once and for all. Of course, this could all be settled quite plainly if Eric Feng is willing to spill the beans. Richard’s right. The five minute buffer is completely worthless to me.

One feature I'd still like to see is the ability to "hide" shows/movies which one is uninterested in. There are a number of shows I have no interest in viewing and it'd be easier to see what is new or what I might want to watch if I could make disappear those things I really don't want to watch.
