ReQuest has announced the release of new firmware for the Intelligent Media Client, or IMC, free of charge.  This will make ReQuest the first and only media server producer to offer the free service Hulu.com to its customers. Hulu.com allows users to access hundreds of videos, movies and television programming. 

The Hulu.com controls will be integrated with IMC so that consumers are able to quickly and easily browse Hulu.com’s content.  ReQuest has ensured that users will not have to access their computer in order to queue up video from Hulu.com – it can all be done via the IMC controls.

The IMC enables customers to integrate all of their home theater needs in a scalable network, operated via a single location.  Movies, music, pictures and more can be accessed through this device, and more storage can be purchased for a relatively low cost. All future shipments of IMC will include the Hulu.com firmware, and older customers can download it free of charge.

you gotta love Hulu for it's content - the easiest way I've found to browse hulu
is with their google widget: http://www.google.com/ig/adde?synd=open&source=ggy

I wonder if this is entirely a coincidence that Hulu is telling boxee users (a
open source freeware competitor to request) that they are forbidden to use hulu?
Maybe Request paid a handsome kickback for "exclusive" set-top-box
rights.
