To be devastated Hulu cancelled Coronation Street in the US?

Ok devastated might be a bit strong. I'm just incredulous that it only being on Hulu three years they have cancelled all new episodes! I have hung in there specifically to find out how they are going to find Collum.

There are no other stations that carry it...or at least that I can access.
I'm just so let down by it. It was my one guilty pleasure.

Daft question can you not watch on the ITV Hub in America its a shame you are missing your corrie,

Get a vpn and watch itv

VimFuego101 · 22/04/2016 20:58

Yep, VPN and ITV player. Or doesn't PBS show it?

AristotlesTrousers · 22/04/2016 20:59

YANBU OP. Corrie is by far the best UK soap.

I used to watch it on youtube. The people uploading it to you tube had to keep changing the name as they'd get blocked. Last time I watched from the US it was under Corrie and the year but do a search on their and then save, they used to put it up on the same day it aired in UK

I have the tunnel bear vpn and can always access itv, BBC and 4Od in the States.

Install Google Chrome as your browser (free).

Install Hola onto Google Chrome (free).

Use Hola to set your location to UK and watch it on ITV.

Thank you, I'm going to try these suggestions!

A VPN will fake your location so it looks like you're in the UK. I've heard good things about tunnel bear.

BeALert · 23/04/2016 00:52

How are you surviving being in the US without either SmartDNS or a VPN so that you can watch British telly?

We got rid of cable years ago and just use BBC iplayer, ITV player, Channel 4 OD, and then stuff like Netflix.

SmartDNS is better than VPN btw.

barkingfly · 23/04/2016 01:30

Tower, I suggest Tunnelbear. I keep up with the soaps that way. Hola is not as safe. Tunnelbear is 50 USD a year.

CarsonTheButler · 23/04/2016 01:32

I would go mad from television boredom if it wasn't for the VPN.

LittleMissBossyBoots · 23/04/2016 08:18

Hola is not as safe.

How so? Genuine question from someone who uses it every day but is less tech savvy than the cat.
