My Hulu+live works with my cox internet but when I connect to my t-mobile home internet modem it will not work. Says I have moved and they can not provide service due to streaming rights.

Technically this is an issue with Hulu not T Mobile.

Hulu does not consider TMHI a valid internet provider. Hulu sees TMHI as a hotspot or a mobile device and blocks their service. So again this is not technically a TMHI issue since TM is not blocking you Hulu is.

This is the same issue with other providers I have a friend that has ATT hotspot internet Hulu does not work due to the same reason. So again not really a TMHI issue.

This is not true, I don't think. I was having this issue and spent about an hour on the phone with hulu to find out what the issue was. They were trying to set the ip address of the t mobile tower to my hulu account. It would work, and my tv would stream. Then we would go to the next tv, and that tv 'wasn't at home'. So we checked that ip address and it was different. T Mobile internet uses a dynamic ip address system which means each device gets its own ip address rather than sharing the same ip address from the wifi. Hulu accepts a static ip address system so it can locate where the service is being used. So because T mobile continuously changes the ip address on each device that logs into the wifi, hulu can't verify the account as one address. This is troublesome for my household because we have about 6 devices (TVs and Phones) watching hulu at the same time sometimes.
