Here are some great alternatives to netflix for your touchpad.
Hulu , works great but you may need to patch your browser to make it work.
epctv.com , watch live online tv, I watch CNN live on here.
crackle.com , they have a big selection of movies. Its not netflix but hay its free.
zinc.tv , you really should check this out. Online media center for your touchpad. Watch all kinds of shows for free with a great interface.
Epixhd.com - Great alternative to Netflix.
some of these sites may not work with ad blocker installed.
if anyone can think of others, please share.
tv.blinkx.com
and
sidereel.com
they host LINKS to sites that host the episodes so as far as I know (I could easily be wrong) it's legal.
If you have a hbo subscription wwwhbogo.com.
EPIXHD.COM works great on the TP. Just watched The Captains on it in HD.
thanks for the links!

This is a GREAT list!
Any idea how someone would be able to watch/listen to NFL games on the touchpad, or even at all? We recently moved 2 states away and won't be able to follow our local team.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

probably using espn online since it's flash.
Also, al jazeera english has a live tv stream for news on youtube.com
"wwitv.com" EXACTLY like that. Its a crappy site but a great way to watch live broadcasts. I'm watching Fox's live broadcast from NY right now. Decent framerate, always live.
there is also orb streaming for the touchpad - (http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/294298-orb-media-streaming-awesome.html)
I've use orb in the past with dishnetwork, works great.
im looking forward to netflix finishing their switch from silverlight to html5 video. they already did for chrome os. when everything is sorted out on it, itll be open to linux and the others soon, and hopefully we can watch it in the touchpads browser soon.
Is there a patch on Preware for adding Hulu support to the browser?

the app video flood hd is really nice it has all the links you have listed and a lot more all wrapped up in a easy UI, and there is a Hulu fix in preware, for who want that.
If you're trying to add Hulu support, make sure you add these testing feeds to Preware.

Netflix is not currently available for WebOS devices. The forum at slickdeals suggests to reply to @Netflixhelps on Twitter and request an official release of the Netflix streaming app for WebOS.
Hulu is also not currently available for WebOS devices. There is a workaround I found posted, but that I personally have not tried. I will edit this post after I try it to let you know how it goes. Google "prewarewebosbuzz Hulu". First result.
You can stream video content from your PC to Touchpad by using Tversity. From slickdeals:
1. Install Tversity media server on your laptop/desktop.
2. After installation, add the files you want to view on the library tab. To add an avi file, go to Library, File system, Files and click add item on top.
3. Open cmd prompt on your computer, and type "ipconfig" There you should find your IP address. Note this down.
4.On your touchpad, open a web browser, then type in :41952/flashlib after your IP address. For example, h t t p : // 192.168.1.0 :41952/flashlib
There you should be able to browse your folders to find the video you are looking for. One problem is that you can't rewind/forward etc.
Again Slickdeals:
Amazon Video On Demand/Prime Videos works runs rather well. Audio holds up well but you might need to use the pop out function on the player over full screen to get it to fill the screen. It might lag when first starting it up but pausing and allowing it to buffer will allow it to self correct.

or you can install kalemsoft media player http://www.kalemsoft.com/site/demos/com.kalemsoft.ksmplayera_0.3.7_tp.ipk using the webos quick install program that you used to install preware on your touchpad. dont install it from preware, itll crash.

HELLO COMMUNITY!!
Has anybody installed hulu + on their honeycomb g tablets??
The application works ive tried two methods:
a. using a phone that allows market access to the hulu + app. I logged on to my account and then using Titanium backup to move the files from the phone created by Ti Backup to the g tab to be restored thru Ti Backup on the gtab. This allows me to pass device compatibility checks.
b. downloaded a random hulu + app reported working for xoom.
although they both work, when trying to stream a video, it locks into landscape mode and the only visible video is in the bottom left corner. anybody run into this??? this solution would be the best workaround having to find the latest hacked flash to run hulu - and just have it stream through the app like how we do with netflix.
Hi,
I am currently using good, old iPad 1.
Via VPN I have no problems with accessing Netflix and Hulu Plus.
All I had to do was to create additional iTunes accounts in USA to get those apps.
Not even jailbrake was required.
My question is (or are):
If I will get myself one of the above tablets (TF300 or Prime - on iPad I can not watch my mkv's 720p stored on my NAS drive) will I have problem/is is diable/etc. getting both Netflix and Hulu Plus to work?
One more thought... since ICS seems to be using some sort of Chrome browser for android... is it possible to fool Hulu that I am using desktop instead of mobile device in order to avoid Hulu Plus subscription (which is annoying since quite a lot of stuff I want to watch has description "web only" and will not run on iPad despite payment).
2 days ago Hulu suddenly stopped working, even though I have the Hulu hack installed and didn't upgrade Adobe Flash. Now I get the message again "your device is not supported". Does anyone else have the same problem, I couldn't find a new fix yet and currently I am using WebOS to watch Hulu.
Regular Hulu, of course. Not Hulu Plus.
Any update to this? Is there a fix to get Non Plus Hulu working again on the TP?
Thanks

Confirmed,
The non premium Adobe flash hack is no longer functional on my device either.
EDIT:
After digging through my APK archives I found a version of Adobe Flash that still works with Non-Premium Hulu.
hulified_flash_11.1.112.61_bilago.apk
Be sure to set your User Agent to Desktop under settings and "Request Desktop Site" (Just to be on the safe side) Before attempting to stream video from Hulu.
Side Note:Also, if you are running an Ad Blocking App like AdAway, be sure to disable it before attempting to stream from Hulu.
I've attached the file to this Post.
Hello everybody,
Since I got my first android device some time ago, I've always wanted to play Hulu without having to pay for Hulu+ using I don't remember amount of methods. Hacking flash, changing the hulu+ app, etc.
Anyway, our friends from Wondershare Software Co., Ltd. made a player called Wondershare Player that goes to the Hulu page and bypass their flash plugin check and using their own player you can watch Hulu videos without having to pay for Hulu+. The downside is that you don't have the feature of the continuous playlist and the Hulu page doesn't register your views on your watch history.
Some of you already know this (thanks for sharing ). But for the ones that didn't know, it works like a charm in our LG Optimus G. And as the Crackel advertisements will say "You can get it from the amazing lowest price of FREE".
Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wondershare.player&hl=en
Hope it helps!

Works amazing. But I doubt it will for long. I've been using the Hulu flash hack flashex 2.05 forever. It's not as reliable as an app and it needs to be run after every boot up.

I will try it out tonight!
It doesn't seem to be working for me. I went to Hulu and tried watching a Family Guy episode that had the little Hulu plus symbol on it and when it plays, it only gives me a clip 1:30 long. Logging in is impossible as the zooming is completely messed up in the app.

It only lets you watch free hulu videos. The same as the desktop site. Any videos with the h+ icon require hulu plus or (only for some) a dish network subscription. If you can't watch it on a pc, you won't be able to watch it through the app. The app does not give you hulu plus but only enables playback on a mobile device without hulu plus.
