[spinaltap]

You will all be delighted to learn that AppleTV owners in the USA from today now have Hulu on their devices.

Lucky them....

Interesting way of doing things. Can you set up a US iTunes account without having a US address though?

 

[malk]

There is something on here about setting up US account....

 

[bpsmith]

Cool. I did read something a whole back but didn't see the point in doing it back then.

Just subscribed to Hulu+

Very easy to set up
Good selection of TV shows (65+) (way better than Netflix)
Films OK (about as good as Netflix)
Streaming, much quicker than Netflix
Based on content for me, I'll be cancelling Netflix next month...sky next month too???

Anybody know a good source for iTunes US vouchers?

Further to last post...

More like 1400+ TV Shows and 2000+ films ;-) [including a great Criterion selection]

What I'd the coverage of up to date Shows like Alphas, Breaking Bad, Perception, Dexter in September, Fringe in September, etc. like?

 

[Box of Tricks]

Not sure on the rest but Fringe was there, I'll check tonight...and report back

Just checked website....
Alpha at season 2 esp 2
Dexter last esp in season 6, sneak peak at season 7!

You can check at http://www.hulu.com/browse/tv?src=topnav ;-)

Dexter doesn't show at all when I search the website link you posted?

Nor Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, plus a few other shows I watch. Not going to bother personally. Cheers for the info though.

OK, I got Hulu working by setting up an iTunes US account and using Unblock-US (despite comments on PocketLint saying it wouldn't work).

I can get Fringe, but only the last 5 episodes of season 4! What's the deal here? How long after the US network airing do episodes appear on Hulu?

Also, I can't believe I'm forced to watch MacDonalds ads!

Does Hulu have iPad/Phone apps as well? I don't have a US account but nothing is showing on the UK AppStore.

You can get the Hulu app for iPhone or iPad if you have an account with the US store. You won't see it on the UK store

Is this Hula thing supposed to show up on unbroken uk boxes?

Don't particulary want it, but if it should be there and its not, I want to know why!

 

[dwhite]

It will show up if you have a US itunes account. It was the same for netflix before it officially launched in the UK.

 

[Box of Tricks]

Huluplus no longer working in uk (geo tagging) under a US iTunes account :-(

Real shame for non-US located customers

Cancelling subscription

As said above, it works for me with the assistance of Unblock-US.

I have it with us unblock and I've got a weeks trial.

I won't be continuing with it though, not enough content I enjoy

Netflix does look better than Hulu. Netflix US had Captain America (2011) this week. If you can switch between UK and US proxies you get an even greater range of material.

If Hulu has less than UK Netflix then that really is pants!
