Would like to get some views from Android TV box users streaming Hulu.

Most of the time for on demand content, I have no problem at all. But somehow for Live TV (particularly live major sporting or entertainment events like EPL or Golden Globes), I keep getting the error ‘video not available in this location’. I’ve tried switching VPN servers to multiple specific cities but it’s like a trial and error exercise. For one event, LA VPN works. For another event, Phoenix VPN works. It can take me like half an hour just to work out the right VPN to stream it live, so tiring.

How do you guys manage this? Any tips or advice is much appreciated. Can’t be going through all VPN servers with guests waiting, every time I wanna watch EPL 😌

You are welcome..
Might be time to try other VPN services then... Like Netflix, these guys don't like it very much when people try to fool their servers and so restrictions are in place to prevent as much as possible. Alternatively (and I strongly suggest), you go for a separate paid IPTV service. Those running it has more incentive to keep the streams up and usually will not require any VPN connection to view. Unfortunately, I can't be more specific as to which premium service to sub.. Do hunt around, such services aren't hard to find.

For Hulu, I realise they’re not picky or restrictive at all on which VPN server/location I use. Most of the servers I choose can be used to watch both on demand content and Live TV.

Noted on the IPTV suggestion. Did consider but thought it’s overkill as I already have Netflix and Hulu.

I use ExpressVPN on Hulu Live TV and it works.

I don’t have problems accessing content on Hulu Live TV most of the time. Just for very specific Live TV content such as EPL or yesterday’s Super Bowl.

Have you tried streaming these major events? Eventually I gave up on Hulu yesterday and went on the Fox app to watch Super Bowl.
