How to Get Hulu Onto Your iPod

Hulu.com is a website that aggregates free video content, frequently featuring popular television show episodes and movies. The site is currently runs on Flash. Currently, Apple's iPod Touch does not have an application that allows users to download all types of Flash content. Although Hulu is working on an application that would allow users to view Hulu, this has yet to hit the market. However, there is a plug-in available that functions as a workaround and allows iPod owners to view Hulu's content.

Instructions

1. Open Safari on your iPod touch.

2. Type "ipod.livebuster.com" in the URL bar. Press "Return."

3. Click the "Register" button on the page. Enter information into the fields, including a username, password, your name and your e-mail. Hit "Submit."

4. Wait up to 24 hours to receive a confirmation e-mail. Once the e-mail is in your inbox, click "Activation" in the e-mail. This will activate your registration.

5. Return to "ipod.livebuster.com." Click the "+" button or use Safari to add the page as a bookmark. Hit "Save" to save it as a bookmark.

6. Open your bookmarks and find the recently added page. There is a URL under the bookmark. Highlight everything before the word "javascript" in the URL. Delete all of this text. Your URL now should begin with the word "javascript."

7. Go to Hulu.com by typing "Hulu.com" in the URL. You should see an error message appear that says you must have a special player to see the content on the site.

8. Open your bookmarks and select the recently added bookmark. This should automatically activate the plug-in and open the content you were trying to view. Wait for the Hulu video to buffer and then watch it.

Tips & Warnings

• Be patient with receiving the activation e-mail, as it can take up to 24 hours to receive.

• Consider renaming the bookmark so that you can recall it better. Names like "Flash" or "Hulu Player" will help you remember it.
