yeah, Nate, but I use a Hosts file to block the servers and Hulu does not like that...I might have to try FF instead. I know there is AD-block but I never cared for it on my N800. Is that what you are using? Or do you recommend something different...anything is worth it to get those smug creatures in the U Of Phoenix off my screen and out of my ears! hehehe....

Oh, and to answer your question...yes, you should be able to block most of the ad servers in the viewer using a customized HOSTS file. But know as I mentioned above, that Hulu detects when the ad will not load and splats up a message that they are displeased...hehehe...
