Thanks inobe.

Just so you know, it only works for folks in the U.S. at this time.

That doesn't say much.


House's downfall is that it is FAR too formulaic in plot structure.

This is grossly disappointing. Do you know any other sites like this that work outside the US ?

That seem to be a problem with ABC, which uses a plugin from http://www.movenetworks.com/ . The shows that are on hulu itself work fine.

As much as I enjoy the show (I have the first series on DVD) I'd begun to lose interest recently for just that reason.

Try using a Proxy located in the same country as the content, this will work.

recent episodes have been better, one episode......... the doc was on another drug that stopped the pain in his leg and him giving bad medical advice because he was pain free and almost causes a patient to die.

You could try installing a downloading program that would allow you to save the flash object of the video you wanted to watch to your hard drive and watch it on your computer.

Or possibly you could find out where the actual flash objects were located. Then direct link to the video and watch the it minus the rest of the webpage. I've heard of people doing that to watch YouTube videos that aren't available in their country.

Try using a Proxy located in the same country as the content, this will work.
That would work, but probably very slowly.

Yep, ABC uses that stupid move player thing, while the rest of hulu is just flash I believe and should work fine in any OS.
