Hi...
Here's a link to a blog from a Vancouver student who has found a way to watch streaming videos: http://patricksoon.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-watch-hulu-in-canada-hack.html
My solution to this has been the free software found at www.HTTP-Tunnel.com
It's easy to download, but there are a few hoops that have to be jumped through. First, the software somehow negates your high-speed internet connection, but as luck and coincidence would have it, the HTTP website offers a high-speed fix for this that is just $5 a month. I have chosen to subscribe annually, but you can buy it a month at a time to see if it works okay for you.
Now, I'm no computer expert, but here's the other thing you have to do. You'll have to reset your browser settings each time you use this software. So, the steps are:
- start HTTP-Tunnel software.
- open your browser
- click on "Tools" from the top menu bar on your web browser. You'll get a drop-down menu
- click on "internet options" ... should be the last item on the drop-down menu
- you'll get a big box opened up with a bunch of tabs ... click on "connections"
- click on LAN settings (towards the bottom of the box
- uncheck "automatically detect settings'
- check "use a proxy server for your LAN"
- click "okay"
- click "okay" again
- close your browser
- reopen it again, and you can go to hulu.com, to abc.com, fox.com, etc. and get streaming video.
When you're all done, you just reverse the process, going back to uncheck "use a proxy server" and checking "automatically detect settings"
I know it sounds complicated, but once you have done it a few times, it works perfectly.
Good luck!
