Hey Joshua,
That really sucks, man =( I would send a support request to Hulu
right away. Particularly if you're a paid subscriber to Hulu, they
should not be blocking you for running a middle relay. Let them know
that you're not using a proxy or an anonymizer.
They're likely buying a blacklist (which isn't going to curb much/any
abuse) and not actively trying to block Tor users.
good luck!
