    I have suddenly began having problems viewing shows on HULU and other sites. It says the video you requested is not available in your region. I am in the US and I have checked for IP problems with my service provider. It shows I am in the US. If I refresh page several times sometimes it will play. I have ran my virus and spyware scans and dumped cookies and so forth to no avail. Running windows xp. Any ideas? Thanks!!

    Go here to be sure your IP is a US one

    maybe something is using a non-US proxy and your IP shows as the wrong IP.

    I ve seen videos in foreign places and some reason a few of them require you to be over there to watch it. Like I wasn't able to watch boiling points at one time.
