Saving streamed video

[Gary "Wombat" Robson]

I have a good high-speed Internet connection in my bookstore. I have a lousy Internet connection at home.

Using services like Netflix (which I already subscribe to) and Hulu, you can watch movies or TV shows without having to wait for them to mail you a DVD.

Is it possible to (legally) stream one of these videos to my notebook computer at work, and then hook it to my TV to watch later? Or to transfer it to my iPad so that I can watch it when I'm on an airplane?

I don't think so, not without violating the terms and conditions of the contract (http://www.hulu.com/terms):

Thanks for the Hulu info - I'd never checked them out. I'm still hoping there's either a way to do it using Netflix (since I'm already paying them a monthly fee) or some other flat-fee service.
