I just realized I buried some really important info at the very end of a long post: > [@ToborAton](#): > > I should also say that if you are in Asia because you are in the military then Hulu is going to start working much much faster. They are trying to find a list of all the military IPs and should have that compiled fairly quickly: > > [http://www.hulu.com/discussions/9/67669/280285](http://www.hulu.com/discussions/9/67669/280285) ---

> [@madrabbitwoman](#): > > Is it ok for me to pit the fact that there is a significant amount of stuff that I cannot even buy because I am not in the US. Amazon won’t let me buy and download music or buy any non book items. Oh, Amazon will let you buy music. You just have to tell them it’s a gift purchase for someone inside the US. At least, my husband has pulled this trick a few times - he claims to be buying it as a gift for my father, who has a Pennsylvania address. Know anybody you can use for this purpose? As for the other things, I agree, it sucks. Even if I understand the reasoning, it sucks. Some things on Amazon UK can only be shipped within the European Union - and guess who gets left out there, too :smack: ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I’ll get behind this rant - it is indeed annoying when everyone is discussing some video, and I can’t see it. Darn you, ancestors, for choosing this country! Darn you to heck! {shakes fist impotently} I’ll trade you - you can watch all the dumb videos online you want if you (or your government) pays for my healthcare. ---
