    This is my first post so be nice. I noticed last night that I was able to acces Hulu plus through my Apple TV using my US Itunes Login. Has anyone any experience with Hulu, is it worth the subscription each month over lets say Netflix. If this post is in the wrong place please feel free to move:)

    You need a US credit card to subscribe to Hulu plus.

    It looks as though accessing Hulu through the Apple TV lets you subscribe using your Itunes credit, therefore bypassing the need for a US Credit card

    Is it worth subscribing to?

    Hulu give you a weeks free trial and then they start charging you unless your Unsubscribe yourself. It looks like a great addition to the Apple TV and another thing is that a VPN is not required to access the content

    Cool I must check it out.

    Movies are now in the cloud for apple tv as well now. I bought blu rays with digital downloads and there showing up. Quite cool and a nice bonus.

    I accessed this last night through a US iTunes account, and a DNS address change that I also use for Netflix. However tried it today and it recognised that I'm not from the US and wouldnt play the content. Any ideas what might have changed?

    It looks as though Hulu and Apple have closed that loophole....

    Strange since Netflix is still working, seems strange that they go to such lengths just for Hulu.

    Sorry can you explain this? I have some digital copies which I downloaded on my Mac and which then show up on ATV.

    Did you set your location as US in settings? I accessed it by doing that and going into my US iTunes a/c -no VPN was necessary.

    Culabula, yes I had it set to US etc. Seems it only lasted a little while there is now a geo-block in place.
