1359238 2013-11-09 04:14:00 I imagine downloading of shows is against hulu's terms of service so they regularly change the way the service is run to prevent this. Chances are the changes they make to stop the downloading of shows breaks most downloaders. icow (15313)
1359239 2013-11-09 04:37:00 Why bother? if you're already paying for it, just watch it again...if you're doing it to save bandwidth, pay for more. Simple.

If you want buy once, watch locally, use itunes or vudu, amazon instant etc.

1359240 2013-11-09 08:57:00 Yeah just stream it, you can't save those, they intentionally regularly break any downloaders... Chilling_Silence (9)
1359241 2013-11-09 09:35:00 You can alternatively record the video in real time via a screen capture program like LiteCam so you have a copy. Downside is the time it takes, and if there is any buffering that will be recorded too. Terry Porritt (14)
1359242 2013-11-10 06:55:00 have you tried the downloadhelper addon for firefox ? it works well for youtube keeping up with it's changes, maybe it keeps up with hulu too.

It's interesting to see how many people give advice to fleece yourself (pay rip-off rates and fees).

There are a great many creative commons and public domain videos on Youtube for example. However, the vast majority of copyright video on youtube is there without the permission of the copyright holder. Youtube makes money from pirate video because most of the video has no permission from the copyright holder. Strange how the people trained to protect copyright are automatically sticking up for youtubes right to fleece everyone, rip off the copyright holders, and that's magically OK because nobody cares to find out anything about it.

Stay away from tablets, they are tied up so you have an even harder time to download even the public domain videos on youtube.

Even if you have ulimited bandwidth and universal internet high-speed connection, why tell google which videos you are watching and how often?

Good luck with your perfectly legal right to watch video when and where you want.

I'd imagine providing specific information as to how to download copy protected tv shows would result in a banning. Even going as far as saying "just go download X show from Youtube" is probably frowned upon on a public forum. As a side note I wouldn't call the $7/month cost for Hulu a ripoff rate at all, 20x more reasonable than most services *cough*Sky*cough*.
