Nope. Hulu began blocking skyfire well before I got my TP2, along with other things things like boxee etc. It doesn't even matter where you live, they're blocking all skyfire users equally.
I have played full episodes through several US broadcasters and publishers' sites, but since skyfire does all the flash server-side and they use their own formats to display video on the device, I don't think I have a good idea of what performance will be like when displaying/decoding flash locally.
I'm using the stock VZW 6.1 ROM. Yes, that's right. Not only am I using stock, I haven't even upgraded to 6.5.
I have no speed issues in daily use, but then nothing I'm doing now would be comparable to flash decoding. Even though I do watch some videos, I mostly do it in WMP which has access to hardware acceleration that nothing else has because of licensing issues. I think I remember that things like tegra might do hardware acceleration for things like flash, but our old qualcomm chipset has no such option.
