I stumbled upon a really great, legal, website for watching TV shows today - hulu.com. The problem is, just as I settled down to watch the very first epsiode of The Rockford Files, it gave me a message saying that it was only available in the USA. Turns out the entire website is only streaming to US residents.

Well, that just won't do.

A quick google, first result and viola - http://www.hotspotshield.com.

Download, install, run, job done. It gives you a different IP number that hulu will accept.

Here I come Jim!
