Accessing US-only blocked content in Canada (video)

UPDATE(April 24, 2018): This content is very outdated, and I’ve been requested to link to some more relevant content provided here: https://pixelprivacy.com/vpn/streaming/us-tv/. I’ve reviewed the content and believe it to be accurate and valuable, but can’t speak to the specific service they recommend, or if there’s an affiliate relationship involved with that recommendation.

This is a video of a dry-run of my screencast for DemoCamp 17 on accessing US-only content that is blocked from Canada.

Hulu seems to be working in Canada

Yesterday I was experimenting around with different proxy software, which I use to allow me to watch Hulu in Canada despite their attempts to block it based on IP address.  I was very surprised to discover by accident that even without my proxy running, I was still able to connect to, and watch content from Hulu from my Canadian address.  I have had a few friends try this, with similar results.  I encourage everyone to go and give it a shot, because Hulu has some great content, and it would be great if we could get this content in Canada without having to jump through the hoops.

Update (August 7th 2010):  Unfortunately this window seems to have been closed.  Hulu cut me off about 2/3 through a program, and doesn’t seem to be allowing us to watch shows anymore (without going through hoops anyways).
