While I’ve mentioned Hulu in my articles on watching TV without cable, today I’m going to provide you with everything you need to know about Hulu. I’ll provide details on Hulu’s Live TV service and the original On Demand streaming library. Ultimately this will help you determine if the content available through Hulu is worth the monthly cost.
Hulu is currently offering a 1-week free trial to their live TV service.
What is Hulu TV
Hulu is an internet-based TV streaming service that boasts one of the largest TV show library available online today. Hulu also offers a Live TV service that combines with their immense streaming library of shows. While I’ll go into greater detail in this article, Hulu’s live TV services provide subscribers with:
- Local Broadcast Networks in over 200 U.S. markets (ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS)
- Many Popular Channels found on cable
- A Cloud DVR
- One of the largest on-demand libraries on the market

Hulu is a joint venture between Fox, NBCUniversal, and Disney that provides online TV shows and movies to Internet-connected devices. Most shows on ABC, Fox, NBC, and The CW are available one day after they air their national broadcast. If you purchase the Hulu Live TV option you can watch shows as they air.
While Hulu is ad-supported, there are options that will allow subscribers to completely avoid watching commercials when streaming on demand. Hulu also offers a back catalog of movies and TV shows originating on cable and network television. They have also recently developed a strong stable of original content, including their biggest hit, The Handmaid’s Tale.
How Much Does Hulu Cost?
Hulu offers a few different subscription plans. Hulu updated their pricing on January 23rd, 2019. I’ve updated this review to reflect those changes. The table below covers the monthly cost, the number of streams you can watch at once and a brief description of the service.

Sign Up For A Free Trial To Hulu Live TV
Customers have a few choices when it comes to services. The decision depends whether you want live TV along with streaming and if you want to watch on-demand content “ad-free.” The first plan costs $5.99 per month. This plan includes “limited commercials”. The other option costs subscribers $11.99 per month and provides users with an “ad-free” experience.
New customers can sign up for a 1 month free trial for their on-demand service.
The price of the Hulu live service is $44.99 a month. However, that includes the original Hulu service with commercials. If you want “ad-free viewing” on the original Hulu library, the cost of the live service is $50.99.
I’ve put “ad-free” in quotes as there are some shows that air commercials before and after the show. Otherwise, the show streams uninterrupted. This is due to licensing agreements with the content providers.
The price of the Hulu live service is $44.99 per month. However, that includes the original Hulu streaming service (the on-demand library) with commercials. If you want commercial free viewing on the original Hulu library, the cost of the live service is $50.99.
The basic live service comes with 2 simultaneous streams, but an option for adding unlimited streams. It also includes a Cloud DVR with the option to add storage. Both of these options can be bundled for $14.99. The details of each of these features are described later in the article.
Hulu Premium Channel Pricing
Hulu also provides premium add-on channels like HBO Showtime, Cinemax, and Starz. These add-ons provide all the content on regular premium cable and are available through both the Hulu Streaming Library and the Hulu Live TV Service. Pricing for each is in the table below.
| Channel | Price |
|---|---|
| HBO | $14.99/month |
| Showtime | $10.99/month |
| Cinemax | $9.99/month |
| Starz | $8.99/month |
Once signed on to the on-demand service, you can upgrade to Live TV and other add-ons.
Hulu Streaming Library
While Hulu just released their Live TV service in 2017, their original streaming library is still available to customers. The streaming library airs the current season of most hit shows airing on ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, and The CW. New episodes are typically available for streaming one day after they air on their respective networks. This means you can watch the latest seasons of shows like “Empire”, “The Flash”, “Modern Family”, “The New Girl”, “Once Upon a Time”, and more.
In addition to the latest episodes of network TV, Hulu provides thousands of episodes of hit TV shows on cable. Granted, many are on a one season delay. Meaning Hulu won’t provide a season until it’s roughly a year old. However, there are a few exceptions. If this is a concern, you may want to look into the Hulu Live TV service which I’ll get to in a moment. It includes a cloud DVR for recording shows.
Hulu also has a fairly decent arsenal of original programming. Shows like “The Handmaid’s Tale”, “The Path”, “Difficult People”, and “The Mindy Project” are only available on Hulu, adding additional value to the service.
In addition to a vast library of TV shows, Hulu also offers a decent selection of movies. You can check here to see what is new every month on Hulu.

How to Watch Hulu On TV
Hulu’s Live TV service is currently supported on Android, iOS, Xbox One, 4th Gen Apple TV, Chromecast. Hulu announced more devices will be supported in the future. However, Hulu’s streaming library is supported by the following popular streaming devices
- Roku
- Amazon Fire TV
- Apple TV
- Google Chromecast
- iOS, Android, and Windows Smartphones and Tablets
- Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and 4, Wii and Wii U
- and much more
Here is a full listing of devices supported by Hulu. If you do not have one of these streaming devices, Hulu is supported by the major computer browsers. Therefore, you can simply hook your laptop or PC to your television and use your TV as a monitor. I explain how to do this in my guide on How to watch Netflix on your TV. Hulu is supported on the following browsers: Internet Explorer 10 or above, Firefox 15 or above, Safari 5 or above, Chrome, or Edge.
How Does Hulu Work
Once you subscribe to Hulu, you are provided with a one-week free trial. If you cancel your subscription in the trial period you will not be charged a subscription. After that, you are charged monthly and can cancel at any time with no penalty.
Depending on the device you are using, setting up Hulu may vary. However, in all cases, it’s very straightforward. Setup typically involves downloading an app to the device and simply logging in with the username and password you used when you signed up for Hulu.
The service itself is extremely stable. I’ve been a subscriber for over 2 years and have never had an issue. I can’t even remember ever having an instance when a show was dropped or even buffered. Hulu is one of the most dependable streaming services I have ever used.
Content on Hulu is 720p HD when available. In other words, if the show has availability in 720p high definition, Hulu will offer it in that resolution. To stream Hulu in 720p HD it’s recommended you have an internet connection speed of at least 3 Mbps. However, you can stream in standard definition with just 1.5 Mbps without much buffering.
I’m a Hulu Subscriber and find the service to be well worth the money. I currently have the $11.99 per month ad-free streaming subscription. With that said the quality of service and content available make Hulu On Demand a great value at either price. If Hulu has the content you want, it’s well worth the price. Hulu is easily a top-notch 5-star streaming service.
Overall, Hulu Live-TV offers all the bells and whistles you would get with a Multi-room HD\DVR cable subscription. However, that price tag comes to around $75. I see this option as less for cord cutters, and more for those looking to not have a year-long contract with a cable provider. I personally find it a much better deal than cable TV

Why Does Hulu Have Commercials?
Hulu provides an ad-free option to On-Demand streaming. However, the live service will include ads. Even with the ad-free service, a few shows will have an ad at the beginning of the show. This is due to licensing agreements with the owner of the show.
