Is this not happening in the US?

We have all that stuff, but we're talking dedicated internet TV devices, like the new TVs that have internet access built-in to view Hulu/Netflix/etc. without a netbook, laptop, PS3.

Problem with all these new internet TV devices is they're a PITA to configure and then you find the services are blocking certain content delivery to some, if not all, of these devices.

If they simply allowed us to change the user agent to say it's MSIE 8 or some such, the services currently blocking data for those devices would be easily defeated and Hulu would think my PS3 was a regular computer and I could watch anything on the big screen.

Of course I could just dedicate one of my PC's to being a media server for the big screen, but that's kind of a waste.
