BTW, hulu.com is restricted to the US. You ordinarily can't access these videos
through the Internet from Mexico. However, there is a way around this.
First, you'll need to download and install this program:
http://hotspotshield.com/
The program creates a "Virtual Private Network" (VPN) that will allow your computer to access sites like Hulu through servers located in the US. In
exchange for this, you have to put up with some annoying little ads at the top of each page.
Once installed, launch the program, click on a couple of links to set your general areas of (ad) interest, then enter http://www.hulu.com/ in the HotSpotShield address bar that now appears in your browser. This will allow you to surf in Mexico to sites such as
Hulu but they will think you are in the US.
Keep in mind, if you're using satellite Internet systems like HughesNet or Starband, you don't need to do the above because their servrs are in the
US. But you will probably hit your account's download limit (the "FAP") pretty quickly if you're trying to watch streaming video over the 'Net...

I was down at the tip visiting friends a few months ago, and he, and his neighbors had Sonicview, and Viewsat free to air receivers with aprox. 40"
dishes getting dishnetwork for free. Check out some of the free to air web sites, and forums like, ftagateway.com, ftaplaneta.com, ftaforo.net, or
ftahq.com.
Buena suerte

If you have to send a free to air box back for warranty repairs make sure to use the option in the menu "reset to factory defaults" also it isn't a
bad idea to downlaod, and flash the box with the latest factory file from the manufacturer's website thus overwriting any any thing you have done to
the box that might void the warranty.
If you want to **** around on the free to air forums use a separate email with fictitious user info to registrar with. Some of the safer ones are http://www.ftahq.com, and http://www.ftaforo.net
Buena suerte
