Inorder for wireless to work, you need set of gadgets. First is you should have a wireless router that will broadcast the wireless signal. Second is a device (phone, laptop etc) that will detect the wireless signal. Please see this article for more information.

be sure to buy a router that also supports "Wireless N".
If your laptop has an S-Video output you should be able to connect your TV with the S-Video input (F connector) in the rear. You should be able to watch dvd and hulu if you have a good graphic card. But if you are looking to have something more permanent, I would recommend you a network-ready HD media player, like for example the Western Digital USB 2.0 WD TV Live Network-Ready HD Media Player. I have one of those and I can see HD movies that I download and put on my Usb, or I can see any media (videos, photos, music) that I have on any hard disk in the network. (Because the media player is connected to my router) The media player can work wireless if you install and additional wireless adapter. If your media player is Hulu-ready, you will see it immediately. The WD TV Live only has Youtube integrated. In my house, I converted my laptop in a Media Server with PlayOn and I can stream Hulu, CBC, CNN, etc. to my WD media player (in my case, wireless, but I want to connect them directly) and then to my TV (using a hdmi cable, you can also use a composite cable) It is about $230 in components: Media player ? around $130 Compatible wireless adapter ? 40$ (optional) PlayOn ? 40$ Cables and others ? 20$
