Showing my ignorance, I'm sure...
Is there a hack or other way to stream from Hulu to the ATV?

Check Apple TV Hacks (http://www.appletvhacks.net/) for some tips.
There was a version of Boxee (http://www.boxee.tv/) that had the ability to view video from Hulu however I believe they were forced to pull it from the service. There is also reports that the ATV 2.3.1 software update breaks Boxee but I think all you need to do is re-install it after the update.
I had Boxee on my ATV for awhile and it does work well providing other free content. It was removed with an ATV update and I never re-installed it since you can not view Hulu from outside the US and I couldn't figure out a way to direct it to a proxy server in the US. I would pay a monthly fee just for a service like Hulu on a device like my ATV.

The 2.3.1 update did remove Boxee and other third party apps from the ATV. Also Boxee was required to remove Hulu before the software update occured. You can put boxee back on by following these steps.

I haven't done it yet but when I did have Hulu on the ATV it was great. Now I just stick to watching Hulu on the computer.
