http://hulu.com is an example. AFAIK its only available to people with
U.S. IPs.

Any other failing site that can be tested by the mere non-US mortals? :-)

Not that I know of. Doing a google search, it looks like hulu may be
the only issue. I had problems southparkstudios.com using chrome +
flash on amd64, but the issue is not present in iceweasel so it is
likely the fault of chrome. You could probably try hulu using a U.S.
based proxy server.

It is good that this is limited to a single site only accessible by
one country. It limits the number of affected people. Unfortunately
for me, I do not subscribe to t.v. services so this is my ideal
solution for watching the few shows I do. i386 with -bigmem suits my
needs just fine though.

Curious is that there are some packages for linux, also for 64-bits
systems:

http://www.hulu.com/labs/hulu-desktop-linux

But, what's that (Hulu Desktop), a special program to watch movies and tv
series inside a dedicated application instead using the browser? :-?

Yes, that is an option.

Users having problems with flash plugin on their 64 bits OS can install a
32 bits browser and run the 32 bits plugin, which is annoying but it
should work.

Does this work natively or does it require a chroot?
