How to Get Hulu in the U.K.

Hulu has not been traditionally available in the U.K. People who wish to watch Seinfeld, Empire, Wayward Pines or new shows like Second Chance have not been able to do so before now. Americans traveling and living abroad have had to miss out. As a person who travels a lot, I have had to miss out.

Now, I can access my Hulu account in the U.K. If you want to do this too; you will have to get a Smart DNS Proxy account. With Smart DNS Proxy, you won’t have to worry about slow speeds. Slow speeds are annoying and can make your video stops half way through the show. Smart DNS Proxy also lets you access your show through different devices such as Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 & 4, Android phones, Apple TV and Chromecast, etc. Installation on these devices is easy. It is explained in the guidelines. Hulu is blocked everywhere outside of the United States. My trips to Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Canada, had to be without my Hulu account.

Hulu gives you access to movies, TV shows, and trailers. Hulu even has it’s own shows. Hulu Plus is the version of Hulu, which gives you the newest shows. Now, when you are in the U.K, you can access Hulu U.K. via Smart DNS Proxy.” 

 

 

Hulu makes it easy to watch your favorite television shows. You can watch when you have the time and do no have to tied to your tv or DVR. You can also get sneak peaks at new shows that are coming up. I watched the first episode of Second Chance. As a Sci-Fi Fan, I liked it, the story made sense, even though there are few loop holes in the logic. The story lines about family are very good. It’s really all about how far will you go to hold your family together? Or how far would you go to keep your family together. Luckily the people doing it are billionaires and can literally afford anything. I am not sure the ratings will be that good. The general public tends NOT to like the sci-fi/crime stories. Almost Human was cancelled rather quickly, despite the handsome leads..

 

Hulu also allows you to binge watch. I love being able to watch several episodes at a time. It leaves a better impact on the story lines. You don’t lose context over time. You don’t have time to forget the important details. You can really get into the story and see more details. Recently Showtime has been airing some commercial free shows. If Showtime is available on Hulu, I no longer have to pay for it in my Direct TV package.

 

Overall, Hulu has just gotten better and better, and I don’t want to miss it when I travel to the U.K.

 

Media Rookies: At Least Five Ways to Kill Your Interview

Media Rookies: At Least Five Ways to Kill Your Interview

It took 25 pounds of effort pushed into a 7-pound bag, but your big time media interview is happening tomorrow. You are such a captivating speaker that your electric charm and sparkle even resurrects the bleakest “dining-dead” special event banquet. So, there’s no need to worry about this game-changing exposure to thousands of potential clients. On the other hand, maybe it might be time to review your media training. Remember there are five things that will easily kill your interview.
1) Being late. The professionalism you intend to deliver to the client begins with the interviewer. Don’t forget, the host can flatten your interview if they are irritated by your punctuality and courtesy. Media hosts plan every second of their show, every minute matters.
2) ”Let me make a long story short!” You are not the editor! Make a short story shorter! The primary purpose of the interview should be describable with zero distractions from your intended point of impact. Concrete phrases like “$15 an hour” instead of “a livable wage increase,” delivers a concept with maximum impact plus it’s easy to remember.
3) Forgetting to tune, term and tone your presentation for your intended audience, not the host or interviewer. If you’re marketing to individuals already familiar with the industry, the tune may be more like “shop talk” sprinkled with familiar business terms. Also, the tone may be simple “light opinion” instead of a “winning advice” lecture.
4) Rejecting media coaching and training, and relying on your extensive credibility as a public speaker instead. Attempting to deliver on-the-spot media interviews often leads to public relations disasters. Delivering “fluster-free,” conversational media interviews requires training, practice, and preparation. Through training, you create the habit of establishing in advance the purpose of your story, the reason for the interview and the reporter’s expectations. This discipline increases your chance of appearing very relaxed and confident during your interview.
5) Repeating negative phrases or words used in a question by the reporter. Even if you disagree with the negative description, repeating it encourages the reporter to included it as a highlight of the interview. Making every effort to respond using positive terms keeps you in control of the narrative regarding your topic.
Paying attention to these suggestions, filling your responses with humor whenever appropriate and showing a pleasantly energetic attitude creates the best outcomes. Each interview can be a public relations nightmare or a positive upside opportunity.
