It depends on the player, you need to check what services it will stream. Some will do Hulu/Youtube, some will only do Hulu Plus. An alternative is to use PlayOn, which runs on your computer and streams whatever to anything that is DLNA compatible, which I believe the Sony players are. It has a very robust list of places it will stream from.

Be aware that streaming via Sony (unless using DLNA on your local network through something like PlayOn) has an extra hop in it, Sony makes you go through their service as an intermediary, which was somewhat unreliable for me. It would outright fail to stream regularly. I use my Xbox (360/ONE) or a Roku for streaming these days.
