Summary: URLs blocked but video ads still playing (Hulu/PS3)

Initial Comment:
Hi, I'm trying to block ads in Hulu+ on my PS3 but the video ads are playing even though I see the ads urls blocked in the Privoxy window.
I edited the user.action and a few domains in this existing section:

{ +block{Nasty ads.} }
www.example.com/nasty-ads/sponsor.gif
p.hulu.com
.lightningcast.com
.rewardtv.
.voicefive.
t2.hulu.com/v3/revenue/

I've setup one of my browsers to use the proxy so I can see what it returns with those urls, and I can see the Request blocked page with some info about the request and privoxy.

I tested on my iphone and it actually prevents the entire movie to play (goes back to the menu).

I have modified this so it's: listen-address 192.168.0.3:8080
Everything else is default settings.

Any idea?

Btw, I managed to block hulu on my iphone using FreeProxy 4 (without having videos return to the menu) and sometimes to block ads on PS3 but it kept reporting errors and the sofware is no longer maintained so I switched to Privoxy. So I know this can be done.

Also it runs on Win7, I have a modem/router, no firewall on the router, no firewall in Win7.

Thank you.

Romzr
