Any one know any sites (like hulu) that stream movies? I'm sick in my hotel room and need something other than the given programming...

everything is usually blocked. its a greatness qbn works there..
go out to a DVD shop and purchase some videos to watch for $1 each.. i dont think any of the hulu style sites will work out there.i did find that if you take the tv program you want to watch, and add the words "Watch" and "online" to either the front of it, there is usually a site that stream every tv show..
an example is .. i like Smallville. and i use "Watch Smallville Online" [without spaces]
http://www.watchsmallvilleonline…
try that.. or otherwise venture outside you hotel and and goto a DVD shop which is usually just around a block from every hotel in China.. where in China are you?

I'm in Shanghai. Just took a walk and saw a ton of places that sell DVD's. I'm going to take a nap and head out to explore in a few.
Thanks for the help guys. qbn is like an umbilical cord here...

Have fun out there dude. There should be plenty of DVD shops all over. There is one street in puxi that has a bunch but I can't remember the name.
I have a bunch of photos from biking around Shanghai last year when I was freelancing. Maybe they'll give you some ideas.

just make sure that the DVD you purchase is for the correct region of your laptop [im assuming that is what you have] .. also the Box sets DVDs are always great presents to the QBN'rs that help your way..
