It didn't have anything to do with Flash, it was the redesign of the Hulu site that happened about six months ago. I could still watch most shows perfectly fine on my 1.33ghz PowerBook G4, the only problem was low frame rate (maybe 16-18, very watchable). After they completely redesigned the site with the new features and larger higher resolution videos, however, I can't even get 8fps on the lowest quality setting. Apparently it isn't just PowerPC either, as there were many complaints from old PC users on the official bug forum that they set up, but apparently Hulu figures that people who don't buy a new computer every three years don't deserve to watch TV.
