Hulu Plus ?

[moonglum32]

Ok fired up my apple tv this morning and after starting the trail version of hulu Plus everything was peachy until about 9am and then i got the "not available outside the usa" crap. Before that movies, tv series, trailers etc streamed perfectly.

I'm on the openweb uncapped 10mbit after hours. Could it be the switch over to the slower line. Will test again tomorrow.

Any other people ?

I always thought Hulu doesn't work for anyone outside the U.S.....except through VPN (or something geeky like that).

I'm honestly surprised you got even that far. Are you running on a US iTunes account? I guess they detected your South African IP address.

You may be able to jailbreak the ATV, then connect through a US proxy server. My brief experience with the Tor browser indicated that those things come and go at a bewildering pace. More trouble than it's worth, but maybe someone can suggest a better way.

i was actually referring to this article but now it seems blocked.

Earlier this morning, Hulu and Apple began offering Hulu Plus on the Apple TV to give monthly subscribers easy access to Hulu’s content from their couch. As a part of the new app, users can sign up for the service and bill the monthly $7.99 fee straight to their iTunes account. It definitely makes it easier for new users, but, even better, it allows those outside the United States (and more recently Japan), as The Next Web first found, to access the content as long as they have an iTunes account linked to the U.S. store. Since the registration process is through Apple and its device, it appears Hulu does not have a way of regulating where the content is being viewed. That is not to say it will not catch on, but, for now, if you are outside the U.S. and have come about a U.S.-linked iTunes account somehow, you are off to the races. [The Next Web]
Update: ..and its gone. Go find a US proxy.
