Hulu Plus for the living room gets a refresh, Kids section added

Hulu has upgraded their Hulu Plus "experience for the living room" for multiple devices today, including Samsung Smart TVs, Blu-ray players, Roku set-tops and the Nintendo Wii.
The user interface has been updated to better help viewers find and search for new shows.

Among the improvements are navigation, controls, search and Hulu says even the artwork is "larger and more vivid." Playback should be easier, as displaying the playback menu now just requires you to hit "up" on your remote. Fast forward and rewind use right and left, respectively.

On the search side, the results will appear right under the search in a tray-style format.



Hulu Kids has also been added, a welcome addition for parents.

PS3 owners should be well versed on the updates, since most of them were added to the console app over the past few months.
