How to watch Hulu and Sling outside the US!

How to watch Hulu and Sling outside the US!
Hulu and Sling are two great websites for watching high quality movies and TV shows. Both offer plenty of movies (see here and here) and a number of currently popular TV shows to choose from. You can even get watch latest episodes for popular TV shows like Heroes, House and Prison Break - all without paying a dime.

There is nothing to download or install, just find what you want to watch, hit the full-screen button and enjoy. The only problem is that both sites are US-only and not available for users from outside United States. And that's exactly what this is all about, how to watch Hulu and Sling videos from outside United States.

hmmm, greetings from Taipei... if it had less advertising banners and a random popup that appeared after it said I disconnected... ( clicking to type this comment)... this program could have some potential. Get out of my way and let me watch my shows... not advertise stuff.

Hmmm I've been looking for something like this but for the reverse. I've been trying to watch some tv shows and movies from different countries and run into a few that do not allow from the USA ! I've suggested we invade them but I get ignored. Do you know of something like this for the reverse?

Not having any clue what is on Hulu or Sling, I will instead ask; would this same process enable people outside the UK to watch content that the BBC restricts by region?

You can test this to see if you can watch anything on the iPlayer pages.

Nope - Hotspot Shield works as an American proxy. You want a UK proxy for the watching the iPlayer outside of the UK.

This would be great if hotspot shield didnt make the stream go so damn slow
