Just switched over to Hulu live last week from Direct TV. So far it isn't s bad, but can be a little clunky at times with using the TV guide and setting up recordings. But I am saving 50% over direct TV so I will live with it for now.
I am running Hulu live through both a smart TV and Roku box on a non-smart TV. I like the Roku box better as it has a faster processor and is nicer to control. I mostly watch car shows so I also subscribed to the Motortrend channel and really like that...it has a to more content than you ever get with the standard Motortrend channel on the TV. |

We got it several months ago. Our package is in the $45 range. Not bad, but clunky as described. Slightly slow in responding as in it may scroll past where you intended to stop because the amount of times you “clicked” will catch up even when you have stopped scrolling. And there is a good five second delay from live tv. I knew the outcome of the last OSU game ten seconds before the end because I saw it posted on Facebook.

I've noticed mine a little clunky like that too. But this afternoon it would play for 2 or 3 minutes and then freeze. I went back to the guide and choose it again and then it would play again for a few minutes and freeze up again. After doing this about a dozen times I just gave up.
Anyone have any experience with multiple devices running it on the same account at the same time?

Not so "smart" TV
What are you using to stream Jerry? We found our "smart" TV's aren't as smart as you think. Bought a Roku stick for both TV's and doing much better. Still have the occasional lock-up/glitch that is fixed with a 10 second reboot (turn off 10 seconds then on). Less than 1/2 that of Directv and way more to see with live.

We use youtube TV. It is far superior to any other streaming service in my opinion. Good price (accounts can be shared with others), good channel line-ups, DVR and available on all devices. I think its $50/month and well worth it.

For some reason Hulu was the only service with ALL the channels I wanted.

We switched to Hulu about 4 months ago. Started out very inexpensive, a $50.00 savings a month from the cable source we were using, (Spectrum) But just last month, they announced a $30.00 price increase per month for the same programming. That's a huge increase out of nowhere. So we are now shopping again.

I get Hulu for free with my Spotify Premium which is only $9.99 a month. Can’t live without my Spotify as music is an important part of my life. TV? Can live without it. Watch mainly Amazon Prime. My smart TV works fine with both but I also have a gig speed fiber optic internet connection.
BTW, I dropped Comcast six months ago and saved $100./month! Internet only now.
