Hulu.com – is it still a well kept secret?

There are more and more free video sites jumping out of the ground, the most known is probably Youtube. It mainly hosts user videos in bad quality. Then again there are other sites like veoh.com which show videos in great quality and speed. The biggest problem about this site is that it needs an extra player so you can view the videos in full length. Hulu is different then all those other sites because it doesn’t host videos from little shouting children that want to get famous by putting videos of their sleeping dog in the internet. It focuses on one think only: quality entertainment. There are tons and tons of videos, series and movies. Just to name a few:

  • Family guy
  • Hell’s kitchen
  • American Dad!
  • The Simpsons
  • The office ( one of my favorites)
  • 30 days
  • and Saturday live.


The movies it hosts aren’t the newest, but surely some pretty amazing classics like:

  • Dude where’s my car
  • Ice Age
  • and the Big Lebowski.

The best thing about it it’s FREE. There is not registration what so ever. They finance it with little Commercial interruptions. The only downside is that only people from inside the US can access the moves, series and clips.

How can you bypass it? It’s fairly easy all you need is an American IP. You can archive that by using some kind proxy software – that fakes or cloaks your ip-address.

I made some pretty good experience with that program: http://anchorfree.com/downloads/hotspot-shield/

It’s freeware, the installation is quick, the only problem is that slows down the stream and surfing speed, but try it out what do you have to lose? Hotspot builds on opevpn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVPN), this is a widely used open source vpn software. That means it also encrypts your data, so that you can surf safely over wlan, actually that was the main purpose of this program: securing wlans or hotspots.

The installation von hotspot is very easy and shouldn’t be a problem, just keep in mind that the program installs a ‘virtual networking adapter’ that means you need administrator rights and most likely accept a message box from windows telling you that you’re installing an non certified driver.

I love this site. I am a big Bruce Campbell fan and was happy to see they also have Jack of all Trades and Burn notice.

Nice work!
