I have a old Apple iBook G4 that I decided to hook up to my main TV. I like the setup because I can surf the internet on my TV now. The only thing that I can't seem to do is watch Flash videos.

Apparently Flash Player 10 doesn't play nice with the iBook's graphics card's GPU, leaving all the graphics processing to the CPU which is a disaster. Others suggested downgrading to Flash Player 9, I did that, and youtube worked fine, but Hulu (The main reason I wanted to hook it up to the TV in the first place) did not.

Anyone know of a Flash alternative or a Flash 10 fix for the iBook? Or even a Hulu client that doesn't require Flash.

Here are my iBook's Specs

Model Name:        iBook G4 <br>  
Model Identifier:        PowerBook6,5 <br>
Processor Name:        PowerPC G4  (1.2) <br>
Processor Speed:        1.2 GHz <br>
Number Of CPUs:        1 <br>
L2 Cache (per CPU):        512 KB <br>
Memory:        512 MB <br>
Bus Speed:        133 MHz <br>
Boot ROM Version:        4.8.7f1 <br>
Mac OS X Version:  10.5.8 <br>

PS: Don't tell me that I need to buy a new computer. I know that I would have better results with a new computer but I don't want to buy a new computer just for Hulu.
