SyncTV is a new kind of television service that’s on the web and on new TVs from major CE companies in the US.It’s easy to activate, and no set-top boxes are required.

The device will work on Windows PCs, Macs and Linux PCs.  SyncTV claims to practice an open-standards approach which helps third-party computer hardware manufacturers making well-matched devices. Additional devices that SyncTV could be integrated into include televisions, in-car video systems and other portable players.

SyncTV is an unlimited TV download service that established in private beta in November 2007. The service grants users to download full seasons of home theater-quality TV program at a low monthly subscription fee.  As well as subscriptions, SyncTV also supports purchase and rental models for TV content. 

The minimum video quality of all the content is equal to the same content on DVD, and where possible, HD content will be available across the different channels. SyncTV will also have programming available in distinct 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus surround sound.  SyncTV has a flexible custom model, granting replay on up to five home devices, such as PCs, set-top boxes or TVs as well as up to ten portable devices.

• Encrypt socks tunnels and backup tunnels using Skype and Tor
• Integrate application firewall

It says there FREE! yes absolutely BUT only if you reside within the United Sates of America (USA). If you really like TV shows like these and you happen to be residing outside America then poor you, Hulu won’t allow you to stream their videos period. 

A typical content message when you try to watch hulu videos outside US would be this:

We’re sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the United States. For more information on Hulu’s international availability, click here.

Over the past month, Hotspot Shield has become the main application to sneak and bypass IP filtering of Hulu but unfortunately, that didn’t last long. Hulu finally blocked users who are using Hotspot Shield to stream their videos and left us nothing again. Sure you can use third party VPN but how much are you willing to pay for their service? Wouldn’t be nice that everything in your internet would be free (specially watching TV shows)?

Ok, enough said. After Hotspot Shield, I have discovered that an application of AOL called AOL Desktop can let you stream Hulu videos in any part of the world. What it does is, it changes your IP address into a US IP address and that in return will make Hulu videos accessible right away.

Here’s how we can Watch Hulu Video using AOL Desktop

1. First, create a free email of AOL, get it here: https://new.aol.com/freeaolweb/?ncid=snsuswebr00000004&promocode=824087&promocode2=806077&icid=snstest8

2. Download AOL Desktop and install it on your PC. Mac users, click here.

3. Open AOL Desktop and click sign-in at the upper right hand of the screen.

4. Check if you’re email is working by logging in using the username and password that you have created in step 1.

5. Once you have successfully logged in, sign out of AOL.

6. Sign in again, but this time BEFORE you click the “sign-in button” click on “connection options” first.

7. Now under connect options, select advanced broadband settings (see picture).
