Apparently, Hulu is now blocking Skyfire on WinMo.

I've been using Skyfire since I got my Samsung Omnia (SCH-i910), primarily so I could watch Hulu (it's been awesome being able to watch shows anywhere). I recently upgraded to the latest version of Skyfire, only to discover a few days later that Hulu is now apparently blocking my mobile device.
Every time I try to play a video, I get a message saying "Unfortunately, this video is not available on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience." I wonder if this is Hulu folding to the power of the might telecoms, a glitch in the latest update, or something else going on.
I first noticed this problem on the 25th of June, 2009.
Any other users of Hulu on Skyfire recently have the site stop working properly?

Wouldnt hotspot shield work with that kind of mobile? It also allows to bypass hulu's blocked content.

Thanks for the replies. I've read about the UK server issue, bruceb. When I posted my original post, the most I'd heard about the issue was on the skyfire forum, where some end users and a forum mod were agreeing that SOMEthing was going on (apart from the UK server routing).

I'm still guessing it's the telecoms flexing their muscles and acting like internet nuetrality laws don't apply to them.
