Official Hulu Invite Thread

I have ten Hulu invites left. Please pm me your email address if you still need one! To see what Hulu is read this post on Wise Bread. Please post on this thread if you have invites to give out!

Okay, I have 4 left now, but I wrote to Hulu's media/press department and asked if they would give Wise Bread a big chunk of invites. Hopefully they come through. Remember to share here if you got an invite!

Thanks to Xin Lu, I've got available invites too. I have 9 available right now so just PM me with your email address.

I've just watched a few minutes of The Office, which I have never seen before because I haven't had cable in about 7 or 8 years, and the picture quality seems quite good for online. This is gonna be fun!

I get my internet over satellite in the US and my ISP has a limit on bandwidth except during certain hours of the day, 2 am to 5 am local. Does anyone know the typical bandwidth consumption of watching a show or two? If I exceed my bandwidth (which I have done on occasion when downloading software updates), my internet bandwidth is throttled for 24 hours to the point where it's practically useless for doing any amount of surfing. Thanks, if you know and provide an answer.

I'm not an expert on this, so I don't now how accurate the information is, but here's an article on WikiPedia:

Streaming Bandwidth and Storage

And another - I haven't read it so I don't know if the right stuff:
Television on The Internet – How much Bandwidth is Needed? Where?

Hope this helps.

Since this has already happened twice, I thought I'd add this here.

If you've already previously registered your email address to be in the queue for the beta program, the invite function won't work. When I enter it in the invite form, I get a message saying "This email address has already been associated with a Hulu account." and I can't send the invite.

Note: I have 7 invites left now.
