viewing in Canada

So here I am in Canada and when I try to watch any video for free I get the Hulu message saying it isn't available in my country.

My question is, if I get a paid subscription, then will I be able to to watch videos in Canada?

Cheers

Re: viewing in Canada

Is it for every video or for certain titles?

Re: viewing in Canada

It appears that there is occasionally an issue where Canadian users will see the Hulu player load, when they should be getting a different free player. You can sometimes work around this issue by simply reloading the video, though it may take a few tries. We're still investigating this issue.

However, the subscription player is a completely different player and is not affected by these issues. If you do decide to become a subscriber, other than a few anime that are not available through the EVS service in Canada (most notably, FMA: Brotherhood), you should not see this issue.

Another Canadian (Free) viewer here

Any update about a fix for this issue?

Hulu player issue is the only thing holding me back from getting a Premium Subscription

Re: viewing in Canada

I'm not sure I understand your issue.

Are you trying to view anime and getting the Hulu player? Does refreshing not fix the issue for you, if you are?
