My previous post is about how to watch movies at HULU for FREE on PC or MAC.
If you have not read it, take your time to read it, as this post needs PC/MAC to be setup first.
I would like to say this post is more like a workaround on how to watch HULU for free.
As you may already know, HULU has 2 types of contents: FREE and PAID contents.
If you are now a Paid Contents subscriber, then you don't need to follow this post, as you can download HULU+ app from the app store/google play and if you are outside US, you will need to setup VPN to able watching it on your gadgets.
This post is intended to let anyone who is FREE subscriber to watch the contents on their gadgets.
Tools needed:
PC/MAC:
1. Splashtop Streamer
Link to download Splashtop Streamer:
Iphone/Ipad/Android:
1. Splashtop personal
Link to download Splashtop Personal:
iPhone/iPad:
Android:
All the tools required is FREE.
So maybe you have guessed already what I'm going to do with all these tools and HULU.
I will setup a streaming point on my computer, where iphone/ipad/android devices will connect to it to streams.
Steps:
1. Install the required tools. Install Splashtop Streamer on computer. And install Splashtop Personal on gadgets (iphone/ipad/android devices).
2. Configure Splashtop Streamer to stream your computer content.
3. Make sure computer and gadget(iphone/ipad/android devices) connect to the same WiFi network.
4. Open Splashtop Personal app from your gadget, then config it to connect to your PC.
5. Once connected, open HULU on browser at computer, and pick and start the movie.
6. If needed, turn off the computer monitor, and enjoy watching movies from HULU on your gadget (iphone/ipad/android devices) for FREE.
This is ideal for those who hates watching from computer for whatever reasons
such as:
- size problem, because computer is bigger in size compare to gadgets and not really nice to watch from computer while in resting positions on the bed.
- location problem, you need to be in the kitchen, there is no way to bring that bulky PC/MAC from your desk/bedroom to your kitchen just because you want to watch movies.
- and many more.
Will upload step by step images when I got time to do it :)

[How-to] Watch HULU for FREE from PC or MAC
Like to watch movie?
Or like to follow the latest movies series?
You can watch them for FREE at HULU (http://www.hulu.com/).
For those who haven't knew yet about HULU, HULU is a content provider, in this case movies, that allow us to watch movies from within the browser.
HULU can be accessed here: http://hulu.com
If you are living in US, you are lucky, because HULU, as this time of post, is only allowing US IP Address to watch the contents its provide.
If you are living outside US, you are also considered lucky, because that's the reason I'm writing this post. To share you how to watch it for FREE.
Here is the screen you get if you are outside US before applying this method in this post:
First thing first, please do not abuse or do anything bad to anything related to HULU/its contents and all related to this post.
And please treat this post as educational purpose only - proving that such thing is actually "technically available", since my intention posting this is to just sharing this so others can also enjoy the contents.
So let's continue.
Here is how to watch HULU for FREE:
1. PC or MAC with compatible browser (Chrome is recommended for PC and MAC)
2. Prepare the software needed, a browser add-on to download
3. Prepare the internet connection. You must have a decent internet connection to stream movies online and live.
PC or MAC with compatible browser
Either PC or MAC, my recommendation is to use Chrome. Update the chrome browser to the latest version to make sure to have the latest fastest browsing engine.
Preparing the software
If somehow you are guessing that I will make use of VPN connection to watch HULU, well you are wrong.
1. Mediahint
Open the chrome browser, search for "Mediahint" on google.
Download and install the add-on to the browser.
Last time, mediahint used to be free, but now they (Mediahint company) is charging you some amount of money to use the add-on.
But folks if you dig some more, sure you will find a way out.
But please, if you really like their work (Mediahint), please give them appreciations, at least share the world about their great add-on.
Prepare the internet connection
This is the last ingredient and is a must.
I never really tried watching HULU movies from 3G connection, but I think it will sucks and slow.
Sucks because watching movies will use much-much bandwidth, so think twice if you are not on an unlimited 3G data plan.
I also never tried watching from 4G connection, because the fact that I don't have any 4G data plan yet.
So the best thing is to use your home internet connection.
The minimum bandwidth needed to watch it online is (i will need to update this portion)
ACTION!
So after all the preparation is ready, now is time to take action!
1. Open http://hulu.com
Note the difference, before installing mediahint and after installing mediahint
Now the notification, something like "HULU is only available within United States", is gone. Yay!
2. Browse any movies you like
The rest steps are up to you. Choose and watch any movies you like.
FYI. HULU itself differentiate its contents into 2 section: FREE content and Paid subscription content.
The one you can watch for free is the FREE content. Usually the contents consist of not-so-new movies and movies series.
Do take a look at their Paid subscription contents to see if there is anything interesting to you.
If indeed there is, you can subscribe and pay the Paid subcription contents to able to watch them.
Yes, you can use the same method, using Mediahint to watch them outside US. So enjoy!

Just want to add a few things. On Mac or PC you can download ZenMate to your browser and then you can watch Hulu. On Apple TV or Roku, you can use DNS redirection service: http://vpnverge.com/what-is-dns-unblocking-service/ or VPN service.I will also soon post on how to watch HULU on your gadget, iPhone/iPad or Android phones/tablets. So until next time. Thanks!
