Well you're the sucker paying Comcast! I have no Cable, Satellite, U-Verse, etc and have no problem watching Netflix on my TV. It's a hell of a lot cheaper. On top of that, combining it with Boxee/Hulu/whatever I watch most of the same shows on cable. The ONLY things I don't get are ESPN & NFL, but I hear that's changing soon too.]]>Mar 25th 2010 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/Mar 24th 2010 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/Mar 24th 2010 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/Mar 24th 2010 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/Mar 24th 2010 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/

I'm just kind of assuming he has some kind of compelling evidence or he wouldn't be wasting money filing a lawsuit... If he has signed NDAs and any other documents from the same time frame from him to them with any of these concepts, he's got a strong case, I'd think. But, I'm no lawyer.]]>Mar 24th 2010 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/Mar 24th 2010 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/Mar 24th 2010 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/Mar 25th 2010 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/You have to gather evidence and collect as many as you want.

i guess it's just me.........

(wait .....i think i remember there's a case that someone suing against mother nature in the State?)]]>Mar 25th 2010 2:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/Mar 25th 2010 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/
The name "Hulu" came from branding by an ad firm hired by the as-yet-unnnamed Hulu company, not NBC nor Fox. Nobody at NBC had anything to do with the name.]]>Mar 25th 2010 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/
Quote:
"Hulavision and principal Errol Hula claim that the company developed technology to deliver television programs directly to viewers online. Hula then met with NBCU business development exec Raymond Vergel de Dios at a Las Vegas trade show and was invited to have further discussions about working together. In the spring of 2006, Hula and NBCU allegedly signed a nondisclosure agreement, after which Hula revealed his company’s business model, marketing strategy, product roadmap and a “shared revenue model chart” that included valuable trade secrets."]]>Mar 25th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/So? NBC already had "technology to deliver content on line" via NBBC. The business model of Hulu was nothing new, either. The only unique aspect was the companies involved. I think this lawsuit is b.s. I'd love to see that NDA.]]>Mar 25th 2010 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/
I bet this never hits a courtroom and NBC pays him off. It would look too bad for NBC and Hulu if they were found guilty – it's easier to pay him off and let it die. Not to mention that no one in their right mind would attempt to sue a giant like NBC claiming they signed an NDA and stole your idea unless there was real proof. The cost to lawyer up and sue a company that large requires too much green.]]>Mar 26th 2010 1:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/hulavision-sues-nbc-universal-hulu-stuck-in-the-middle-with-glo/]]>Mar 25th 2010 1:48PM
