I like Hulu, but I was surprised when traveling to find out it’s not available outside the US at all, except for a “Hulu Japan” service. I wonder if there’s a group of consumers that would pay a premium for a streaming service with similar levels of content that worked regardless of IP-inferred geolocation.
- cageface 9y agoThis is the case for most streaming services. Pretty much the only one I've found that works without hacks is Netflix, although their content varies quite a bit from one country to another. I understand this is due to licensing restrictions but it's pretty annoying all the same. I'd happily pay for Filmstruck, for example, if they'd only let me.
- bubblethink 9y agofilmstruck, as in the new site with critereon? That was one of Hulu's main attraction. How is filmstruck technically ? I checked it a few months ago, and it was flash based, and no support for linux. Still the case ?
- cageface 9y agoWhen I was in the US I was watching it via the AppleTV app, which serviceable but not great. The content is unbeatable though.
