Can the shows or TV episodes from hulu and other like sites be recorded to the PC?

Try:
Internet Download Manager
Or
Jacksta

I've read of people using jacksta, without any problems. As far as I know, hulu doesn't enforce any DRM's or licensing. Anything controlling the content is usually scripted right in the page and player.

I'll give both a try out tonight and post back here.

As far as I know, hulu doesn't enforce any DRM's or licensing. It does enforce geographical "licensing" i.e. it's only available in the US. If your IP shows that you are outside the US you get a message saying that you cannot view the video. Just an FYI.

I think that that is more along the lines of Right to Deny any Customer, probably due to copyright issues.

But, like I said, that isn't on the video itself, rather a script on the page that checks and refuses.
