Binge watching is Australia's new favourite pastime. I mean, what could be better than plopping on the couch to watch a TV show from start to finish in the course of a day? But one study is trying to ruin the magic for everyone.

In the year 2017, we are pretty spoiled for choice when it comes to streaming services (especially if you count smaller players like Crackle and Quickflix.) Unfortunately, not every show you watch is available on one single platform. So what do you do?

Sites like Hulu offer convenient click-and-stream viewing convenience, but their pesky geo-restrictions are an unfortunate reality. With Getflix, you can kick these online censors to the curb and stream your favorite content no matter where you’re traveling.

We love streaming shows on Netflix and Stan, but what happens when you’re stuck without Wi-Fi? That’s where Audials MovieBox 2017 comes into the picture. This service lets you legally record your favorite shows and movies from any Video-on-Demand site, allowing you to tune in even when you’re offline.

Region-blocked content is annoying -- and avoidable. Whether you want to view non-Australian versions of Netflix, instant access to the BBC iPlayer or a dose of iView when you're working overseas, here are the best (and easiest) ways to get that content.

We have some bad news for Aussie Hulu fans: the US-based video streaming service has just blocked international customers using virtual private networks (VPNs). In other words, you now have one less way to access movies and TV shows without resulting to piracy. Here's what you can do about it.

Region-blocked content is annoying -- and avoidable. Whether you want Hulu on demand, instant access to the BBC iPlayer or a dose of iView when you're working overseas, here are the best (and easiest) ways to get that content.

Ever run into a video that's blocked because you aren't in a supported region? It's annoying, but ProxMate is a simple extension for Chrome and Firefox that unblocks region-specific content from YouTube, Hulu and Grooveshark.

We still haven't had a definitive answer on whether Channel Nine will spearhead a Hulu launch down under, and now the waters are getting murkier, with Ad News reporting that Ten might also take part in a local service.

Speculation about a potential partnership between Hulu and Channel Nine kicked off last year when The Australian reported that a joint venture between the two was under consideration. A report in today's Sydney Morning Herald essentially acts like that's a done deal, but doesn't really bring any new information to the table.

Not being able to access Hulu is a frequent cause of aggravation for Australian TV viewers. Will 2011 be the year that the streaming TV service finally arrives down under?

The inability to access TV streaming service Hulu outside the US is a perennial source of frustration to many Australian viewers. Now it looks like publishing giant PBL may be bringing Hulu's framework, if not all its content, to Aussie audiences.

One of the perennial challenges for Australian TV enthusiasts is finding a way to use Hulu and other geo-blocked streaming services. Here's how Lifehacker reader Luke Carbis solved the problem.

We've featured one or two ways to watch Hulu from outside the US, but one user over at Reddit has discovered a fairly easy way, without an outside proxy server, to watch Hulu just by closing a few ports.

Windows/Mac OS X: Hotspot Shield is a lot of people's go-to application for accessing US-only content, including the popular video site Hulu—until Hulu blocked the app from working, that is. The latest update hopes to work with Hulu yet again.

Windows only: Previously mentioned proxy application Hotspot Shield used to be the go-to option for accessing US-only content from outside the US, but now that popular sites like Hulu are wise to Hotspot Shield, give proxy application IP Hider a try.
