How To: Watch Hulu in Canada. A New Method.

In August I posted a method I found for watching Hulu in Canada (or anywhere outside of the US for that matter). Unfortunately, that method was a little complicated and Hulu fixed it a few days after Lifehacker posted about it. Last Night I found a new hole and this one’s a fair bit simpler. Here’s a handy instructional video.

  1. […] The method in this post no longer works. But, I’ve found a new workaround. […]

  2. Are you sure this works? I can get the ads too but the real shows never play. Did you actually get something after the ads?

      When I posted it, I did. But as of right now, it’s a little sketchier, only some videos are playing. Others are giving “network error” type messages. Have not figured out why yet.

      I just updated this post with a link to the reddit discussion, some people are still having success as for 12hrs ago. This on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/e216n/watch_hulu_in_canada_new_method/

    how sad on putting up such a nice video on how to view Hulu and it has to be in a 360 format. This is not very useful, at least 640 or better yet 720

    Can someone redo the video in 720p please.  

  23. This would now be the time to use reverse phone lookup Canada as the number is more than likely a North American one. There are many sites which offer free lookups and will provide you with the name associated with the phone number. Sometimes the address is available as well. These phones numbers will be the numbers which are listed in Canada’s White Pages phone book and are accessible by anyone.

  24. Hi Ryan,

    I couldn’t find your contact information but I launched a new service that will allow people to watch Hulu outside of USA. It has all the benefits of VPN and minus the drawbacks of VPN as well. It’s called UnoTelly (http://www.unotelly.com). I will be greatly appreciated if you can try it out!
