Wow, I just found a great browser for my phone that allows me to watch videos at hulu and similar sites that have subtitled video. I couldn't do that yesterday on my Nokia 5230 Nuron. But I just found a great free browser that allows me to play almost all internet video.

It's called the Skyfire mobile browser. Open the browser then go to hulu.com and just browse it like you do on your PC. It'll take a little getting use to but you can get the subtitles to turn on. A little tip is on your PC go to hulu, sign in and go to your settings and set it so that it always plays subtitles when they are available. Then sign in from the skyfire browser on your phone and they'll play automatically.

I just got done watching an episode of lost on my phone with it and it played the subtitles. I'm going on a road trip to LA California tomorrow so this is going to come in handy on the way there.

Just thought I'd pass this great find along. Go to the above link to see if your phone will work for it. It's free. You can also search for skyfire browser on youtube to see some demo's of it. I'm going to use it to watch some sports too. :)

No, you wouldn't need it on a PC. On a PC just download the flash player. Many phones don't support the flash player 10or higher (Which is needed for most of these sites that stream TV episodes). So the Skyfire browser will allow you to do that (If your phone is supported). If you're not sure just go to skyfire.com on your mobile browser and try to install it. If it won't work it'll tell you.

If you're not sure what flash player for your PC. Go to a site that plays them such as Hulu.com or fox.com. Try to play one of the videos. If it won't play it'll tell you what flash player you need and give you a link to it. After you install it reload your browser then it should play.
