The Canadian Hulu , For Canadian Eyes Only

Spoofing your IP address to pretend you are in the USA so you can access Hulu is hard enough, but now that Hulu will be charging Americans $10 a month, what are Canadians to do? Unless you have an American credit card and are willing to fork over US$10 to illegally watch American TV from Hulu while in Canada, here is where to click (for folks with a Canadian IP address only). I call it the legal Canadian Hulu. (Updated 2010-07-14 to include History and Food, to add a network list, to solve spacing issues and to add a bandwidth warning).

***WARNING: Just like Youtube and DailyMotion , streaming TV counts towards your monthly bandwidth limit. Allow for up to 1 GB per hour, 3GB for HD content. ISP bandwidth limits: Rogers, Bell, Bell (aka Aliant) in New Brunswick (no limit) , Shaw and Vidéotron***
