Aren't the Sci-Fi channel shows already availvable via hulu?

What Sci-Fi features on their rewind is already available through boxee using Hulu. NBC owns Hulu and they also own the Sci-Fi channel which is why the Sci-Fi Channel content is over on Hulu. They just also have it on the Sci-Fi Channel web site as a convience and a way to advertise that they offer episodes online with out people being able to access shows form competing networks.

Here's a list of shows that are on Hulu that air on the Sci-Fi Channel:


Battlestar Galactica (The new version in it's fifth and final season)
Battlestar Galactica Classic (The original BSG origianlly aired on ABC)
Buck Rogers
Cha$e
Destination Truth
Estate of Panic
Eureka
Ghost Hunters
Sanctuary


However, due to streaming restrictions there is an eight day delay in the posting of the new episode of a series on Hulu from the day it aired on the Sci-Fi channel. Most cable networks have this restriction where the broadcast ones do not. I take it they do this because a cable networks reruns a new episode many of times so you have a chance to see before the next new episode where broadcast TV cannot do this so the add broadcast TV show episodes hours after the new episode airs.

Here's a list of cable networks who post their shows on Hulu:


Bravo
CNBC
Comedy Central
DIY
E!
Fine Living Network
Fox Business
Fox Movie Channel
Fox News Channel
Fox Reality Channel
FX
HGTV
Mojo
Oxygen
Speed
TVG
TV Guide
USA


Here are the Broadcast Networks available on Hulu:


FOX
NBC
myNetwork TV


If you visit the Hulu website you can filter by network and see all the networks and program providers and their shows.

Hope that helps clarify things,
