Once you've downloaded it go to www.hulu.com
Tons of free films and tv shows that are only supposed to be available in the US and Japan.

I've been using this for a few months, can't believe how easy it is.
Apparently Netflix know about it, but don't care as long as they get their monthly sub.

Wait, so I'm in the US...so this is marvellous for watching iPlayer.
But when about when I want to watch things on UK Netflix? How can I switch between the two countries? My default is already the US, so how do I make it UK?
Also, when people are saying it works on Android... do you mean it works on Friefox/Chrome in Android ? How does that work?

Um, I still don't 'get' Hulu 
What's the deal, how does it work? Browsing, it looks like there are some good titles, but anything I've searched for only has clips.

You set your Android device to use a DNS server which makes it look like you're in USA/wherever. So it's everything, rather than just Chrome, which is why I warned that you may get weird stuff happening with the Play Store, etc.

Sounds like you've been accessing their "movie trailers" area.
I accessed them from Firefox rather than Chrome. Not sure if that makes a difference.
Go to "browse", at the top of the page. From there there are 2 lists, "TV" and "movies". Under "movies" there are more selections "trailers", "docs", "genres", "staff picks", and "criterion". Select "genres" and you'll get a selection of movie genres (funnily enough). Most of the films that you can access through that tab you'll be able to watch, although some are only available through Hulu+ which is their subscription service.
You can access tv shows in a similar way but by selecting "TV" from the "movies" tab.
Now I've been told that you can also subscribe to Hulu+ by signing-up as usual with a credit or debit card. Apparently you do need to bullshit up a genuine US post code (your UK address with a random US postcode) and it'll work, but that sounds a bit dodge to me so I won't be doing it as there's plenty of stuff you can get from Hulu for free anyway.
Also remember, when you've downloaded the mediahint extension you should have access to the US networks iPlayer and Catch-Up equivalents.

I wonder if you could get it to work on ipad..... then I could airplay it to my tv.
What I might do is set up a second network from my router with DNS. So i can just connect to that one to watch american stuff
I still use lovefilm UK, never the streaming stuff, but I liek the rental by post.

It works on Sky Go?!? As in you get US Sky in the UK?
Other way round, I use it to get UK stuff in the US.
Actually all I want it for was Sky News, but I can do that straight off their webpage so don't need Sky Go. Only other thing its good for is the footie, but that's over now.
such and such
Scones then fucking.
Hulu seems to be working but not Netflix (I'm in Australia by the way)
Thank you so much anyways

I had to update it a few days ago (it had un-ticked itself in settings) but it's still working. Fucking thing opens its own tab every time I open my browser though, asking me to sign in via facebook or whatever. It's becoming annoying. But I'm willing to put up with it because netflix.
Yeah, I've got something. I'll dig it out in a minute.

Is there anything that works for people outside of the UK to watch UK netflix?
a quick google suggests "Hola better internet" from the chrome store will work. You select which country you want to pretend to be in, and it will give it you access.

Yeah, it's behind a paywall, and I dont think that there's a way round it. You might find a charitable soul willing to let you use their login. My sister uses mine, with no problems. You can have a stupid amount of devices, with no problems, so ask your mates, if you're skintage.

It's about £6 a month, if you do have the cash to spare. I'm usually a skinflint when it comes to subs, but I don't regret taking out a netflix sub in the slightest. I absolutely definitely get my money's worth.
