How to Stream Hulu Outside the US on Google TV

If you are living outside, then Hulu will not be available on your Google TV store. You need to sideload the application on your Google TV and use VPN to access Hulu content without any Geo restriction. Also, make sure that you use a trustable VPN service for Google TV to block geo-restrictions.

[1] From the Google TV store, search and install the Downloader app.

[2] Turn on the Install Unknown Apps toggle for the Downloader app on Google TV from the Settings menu.

[3] Launch the Downloader app and enter the Hulu APK URL (https://rb.gy/xr0bo9) in the URL box.

[4] Click on Go to download and install the Hulu application.

[5] Before launching the application, download and install ExpressVPN on Google TV devices. You can also try other VPN services.

[6] Launch the VPN app and set the server location to the US.

However, using a VPN won’t bypass the geo-restrictions every time. Sometimes, the Hulu server can detect the VPN connection and block your account. So, use VPN on Hulu at your own risk.
