is it possible to get a static IP address in order to use HULU as my TV provider?
My TV provider HULU needs a static IP address to ensure my location. Dynamic IP addressing will not work with HULU .
Well, it isn't exactly a static IP that is needed.
It is more an issue of how the IP you are using is identified in the databases they query.
ASN/registrar information, GeoData, etc.
Some sites can still figure out I am actually in Florence, SC while others run a query that puts me in the Charlotte, NC area.
I used Hulu Live and DirecTV Now(before it was rebranded to AT&T TV) for a long time with Spectrum, and my IP could change as often as once a month with them, depending on how many issues we were having (sometimes it would change after outages/maintenance/etc.). Even the brief year or so I was on PS View it didn't really matter either... so long as it was still reporting the proper area, I was fine. Only time I had an issue with any streaming service was when I was briefly flipped to a subnet that got identified in the Charleston area... so long as I stayed in the "Pee Dee Region" market, I was fine.
