Wirelessly Transmit Mac to TV

I have a Mac Mini and it works great to watch TV online with HULU. However, all the cables going to my TV suck as the Mini is across the room. Is there a way I can wirelessly transmit streaming internet video to my TV?

How'd you miss this? http://www.apple.com/appletv/whatis.html

Did I miss something or where does it say that it goes on the web? Can it stream TV from Hulu.com?

No, DeltaMac probably just went from thread title to answer without reading your post properly.

I'm not sure whether a wireless solution would be either cheap or good quality. I'd go with long cables, as sad as it sounds. _Or_ move the mini. If it's a 1080i or even 720p TV set, that can act as quite a normal computer screen, too.

Thanks fryke.

There _are_ hacks for AppleTV that allow some fancy internet stuff. I even remember something about hulu, but could be wrong. I have to say I'm not particularly interested in hacking my AppleTV since I prefer "the real thing" with simple, straightforward updates from Apple.

Yea, I saw that boxee enables HULU.com.
