It’s always been our mission to bring world-class premium content to our users when, where, and how they want. And for those of you who prefer watching your favorite TV shows on the biggest screen in the house while stretched out across your recliner, I’m happy to announce that we’ve teamed up with our friends at Western Digital to continue to make your time at home a little bit more exciting.
I’m sorry for the frustration. Can you contact us at http://www.hulu.com/support? We’ll be able to work with you to get you up and running on your WD device.
You have got to be kidding me! “Huluplus is now available on the wd live TV hub!” Malarky! Huluplus USED to be available on wd live TV hub, now all I get is a “loading” screen and then I get the message saying problems with internet connection! I paid for the service and it’s selling point to me was the fact I could watch it on my tablet, plug my tablet into the TV and resume watching the same show OR just turn on my wd live TV hub and again, just resume where I left off. It was so versatile! It definately was an asset! But now, it’s so inflexible that I’m considering stopping my subscription, I mean really, how many people would ONLY want to watch hulu on a small 10 inch screen when there’s a 60 inch TV just across the room from them? Hulu, if you want to keep my business-or those like me, since I know I’m not the only one feeling this way-then I suggest you give us back the service we had in the beginning-more versatility! Access on multiple devices….as much as I hate how slow netflix is about updating their lists, they will continue to keep my business as long as they keep being an asset, meaning as long as they keep being available to all my devices in my home!….can someone say this about you hulu?
I’m a little disappointed with hulu plus. all the shows i watch are not on here and the ones that are on here are severely old episodes the reason I got hulu plus was to watch new episodes cause I don’t have TV/cable I cant afford it now i’m paying for something i’m not getting i feel as if this is false advertisement.
I have had the WD box for about 6 months and I am still waiting for you to fix the search feature. Today I spent a half hour trying to add Jimi Hendrix to my queue. Iget one or two sometimes three screen levels in and it would lock up. Finely I had to give up and add it on my laptop. This is my normal with your poorly designed software. And no I downloaded the latest firmware yesterday. Please fix I cannot stand such a good service being so crappy.

What is the point of paying for HuluPlus to use on devices such as Roku, when several shows are “web only”. For example HGTV, Food Network, ABC Family, and now even prime time shows like “The Voice”. I’m seriously considering returning my Roku and cancelling Huluplus completely. I couldn’t be more disappoint with both Roku and Hulu… Like another comment states, “A little truth in advertising by Roku and Hulu would be nice.”
Extremely disappointed that Roku advertises you get Hulu Plus, but you only get limited shows. For example, we really like HGTV and Food Network, but Hulu won’t let Roku stream those networks. You can watch them on your PC, but that defeats the purpose of getting a device like Roku. A little truth in advertising by Roku and Hulu would be nice.
Good news….except, there’s no “channels” option on the WD Box. This is crucial for some of us.
Another issue is that the tv series Fringe (for example) seems to be accessible from my browser on Hulu’s website, but it fails to show up from a search on the WD Box? What’s going on with these?
To activate closed captions on your WD device please follow these steps:
Play a closed-captioned video. Press the down arrow on your remote until you see green brackets highlight the “Browse” option. Press the right arrow until the “CC” option is highlighted. Press the OK key (the button in the center of the arrows) to toggle between “Off” and “On.” If you are still having trouble please let us know at http://bit.ly/HuluHelp.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble loading some shows. Please let us know what shows this is occurring with at http://bit.ly/HuluHelp . We look forward to helping you out with this.
Thanks for adding the WDTV support. Please improve the seeking interface, though. Trying to seek to where I stopped watching that 1h+ movie yesterday is incredibly painful. How about making the || buttons jump backward/forward by 10minutes?
I’m happy to see Hulu Plus finally come to WD Live Plus, but there seems to be some problems with loading…I pick a show I want to watch and I am stuck at Loading… I pick some random show and it loads. What’s the deal?
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! I love my WD TV box but was thinking about cancelling Hulu Plus – since you guys added support for this device AND are adding some Rifftrax content you can count me among a VERY happy subscriber!
Any chance Hulu Plus will be coming to AppleTV any time soon? I use my PS3 right now, but the AppleTV is far more energy efficient and easier to navigate, so I’d prefer to use that.
When is Hulu+ coming to GoogleTV products like my Sony Internet TV Blu-ray player? On the unit, I get a messagesYing that Hulu is working hard to make this happen, but the news that I read about the situtatiobo online paints a different picture; it’s not a technical problem, as Hulu works in Google Chrome, it’s a business deal problem. So make the deal and give the consumer what we want!

My wife and I (embarrassingly) think of ourselves as “foodies.” We (well, she) love to cook, discover new restaurants, and of course … eat! Not long ago, whenever we’d eat out, we’d envision what it looks like behind the scenes in the kitchen, and the pressure, energy, and passion that goes into each dish gracefully presented before eager (and hungry) customers.
Then I watched Gordon Ramsay on “Hell’s Kitchen,” and my notion of what happens behind the kitchen doors was turned upside down. The pressure, energy, and passion were there, but they were coupled with fiery explosions, excruciating stress, fierce competition, and an insane head chef shouting a tirade of colorful words I’d never repeat in public.
Not every kitchen has a Gordon Ramsay at the helm, but that’s what makes “Hell’s Kitchen” stand out among all the food-centric shows out there. No other show knows how to bring out the best and worst of every contestant quite like “Hell’s Kitchen.” But while it’s an understatement to say that Ramsay can be harsh, it’s his fire that refines each contestant’s skills. Whether you love him or hate him, the contentious dynamic between head chef Ramsay and his motley crew of cooks has me (and many others) hooked on the show.
Today, I’m excited to announce that “Hell’s Kitchen” has come to Hulu.com and Hulu Plus, just in time for the premiere of Season 9. In addition to current-season episodes, which will be posted for all Hulu users the day after air, Hulu Plus subscribers can watch the entire back library — seasons 1-8 — which are available exclusively on Hulu Plus, thanks to Lionsgate and Debmar-Mercury. (You may not see every episode today, but we’re working hard to make sure the complete library is up as quickly as possible.) This means you can follow the new season and catch up on past seasons when and where you want: from your smartphone to the biggest screen in your house. Users of the free Hulu service can watch clips from current and past seasons as well as a rotating selection of seasons hand-picked by the Hulu editorial team.
Enjoy “Hell’s Kitchen.” Now stop reading this [bleeping] blog post and go watch it, yes?
July 13th, 2011 by Lonn LeeSr. Product Manager, Hulu Mobile Applications
Three weeks ago, we announced our early rollout of Hulu Plus to six select Android smartphones. Today, we’re pleased to announce we’re adding four additional Android smartphones to our list of Hulu Plus-enabled devices, bringing the total to 10 supported devices.
Hulu Plus is now available on HTC Evo 4G, HTC ThunderBolt, HTC myTouch 4G and G2 — joining the Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Droid II, Motorola Droid X, and the Motorola Atrix in Android Market.
We’re extremely excited to offer Hulu Plus subscribers the opportunity to watch premium content on these smartphones when, how and where they want it. As we said when we initially launched, we’ll continue to work hard to support additional devices. Stay tuned for more announcements in the coming months.
Update 8/31:
To those whose Android device is not supported, I’m very sorry that we don’t currently support your Android model. Because Android phones and tablets each have a different set of specifications that we must take into account, we’re only able to support a select number of them at this point in time. We will be expanding Android support very quickly, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see support for your model available soon.
Again, I’m sorry for the frustration. We’re working hard to bring Hulu Plus to a wide variety of Android devices as soon as possible. Thank you for being patient with us in the meantime. If you have further questions please direct them to the support team.
Have hulu plus and was very happy with it, use it on my ps3 and PC all the time when Im at home. But i work alot and am baffled that its not on my galaxy s2… Best phone without the best apps, makes the world seem like a lie, when i have a child and he sees something i will tell him. Don’t be fooled son, behind every claim there is a hulu behind it not having common sense to release hulu on the hottest phone available.
I agree with the other S2 user…….Samsung Galaxy S2 here. I’m honestly confused why you would not work on getting hulu working on the HOTTEST android phone. What not job at your comqny makes these decisions? I’m cancelling my hulu subscription and sticking with Netflix. No commercials is another plus. Get your game together and ill really subscribe.
I have the Samsung galaxy S2 as well. It is absolutely amazing that the hottest android phone on the market would not be rushed into compatibility with Hulu plus. Its a sad day for Hulu when someone upgrades their phone from one that could use Hulu plus to a better phone that cant use it. Hulu you have lost my patronage… NETFLIX FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand the challenge of supporting all the various Android devices, but was shocked to find out that the Galaxy S 2 isn’t supported. Literally baffled that the premier Android phone available on all the major carriers isn’t supported. Surely this is at the top of the list to quickly get support for?
Can’t believe there still isn’t support for the galaxy s 2. It’s the most popular android phone and with 3 major carriers. Will probably cancel my membership soon. For a company as big as hulu, it’s kind of embarrassing.
I just don’t understand how Netflix was able to support every phone when they came out but some how Hulu has to do each phone model one at a time….. Doesn’t make sense…. Maybe they sould hire some of netflixs programmers. Maybe something will actually get done.
My biggest complaint is the lack of Android App availability for Hulu+. If Netflix & TV.com can have apps for almost every Android device running 2.2 of higher – I just don’t understand why it is so hard to port a Hulu+ App. A ton of us Android users would glady pay for the ability to watch via phone/tablet. This should be a top priority at Hulu since it is costing them thousands in lost revenue.
Seriously, this is the last Android related post? And seriously, no Galaxy S 2 yet? Well, I guess I’ll be keeping my subscription on hold (i.e. not pay) for another 3 months…
Just about to sign up for Hulu Plus assuming that they would have support for the Samsung Galaxy S2 at this point. At this point meaning I am never an early adapter of new technologies, this being my first smartphone. Of course I researched it and made my decision because it was the highest and best competitor of the iPhone but I could use flash so yay. It’s been over six months since the first mention of Samsung Galaxy S2… you may want to at least give a timeframe. If there isn’t any then I suppose I’ll never be signing up. No sweat off my back.
Well I’m hoping that me subscribing for it will help by throwing my 8 bucks in the pot. Developers have to get paid. cant wait to get it for my Infuse 4g which I now have ICS on!!!
All of the angry upset comments are amusingly ignorant. If your device isn’t supported yet than deal with it. You don’t have to pay for plus if you don’t want to. If you’re paying for it to have more access to more shows, then what are you complaining about. I’m getting real tired of the self entitlement of people these days. Its only $8 a month. July has provided an amazing service and doing a lot to provide it in a legal high quality manner. Learn to cope with life a little better and realize most people are not trying to screw you over. Rant complete.
I emailed you last night asking why Hulu Plus (THAT’S CORRECT I PAY FOR IT) wouldn’t stream on the Acer Iconia A500. Unfortunately people on the internet try and work around this and someone can get quite lost trying to figure this out (i.e., rooting your android tablet, etc.). I just saw your blog which is ” Android Rollout of Hulu Plus Continues on Four More Smartphones” by John Lee, Sr. Product Manager, Hulu Mobile Applications on July 13, 2011 stating the issue. Android tablets and phone have been out for quite awhile and I find it IRRESPONSIBLE and POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE to offer your product (i.e. Hulu Plus) and not add these platforms to your network. According to that blog, many people share my idea and are quite upset with your business. I won’t use foul language and truely express my thoughts as I hope you have the intelligence to read between the lines. I’m thinking about cancelling your service as you have had more than ample time to fix this software issue.
I did find the Hulu Plus app on my G2 phone, one of the few phones that has the App and I couldn’t even watch all the content as some things say they can’t stream. Is your business headed by incompentency? I tried to watch Stir Crazy, the movie streamed from my G2 phone and it wouldn’t play.
It’s called you have a product , we pay for it, we don’t like your product, you lose business. But I’m just one person right?
Just bought the galaxy s ii. No support here. just bought the Boxee Box for home streaming. No support here either. Hulu, you have had more than enough time time to get this right. You effed up and now your customers (I am one) are leaving one by one. What a shame! Your good product is being killed by poor implementation in the marketplace.
I & many customers would like to see what devices hulu is working on to get streaming for. This blog & hulu plus sites are very lacking in that information. This blog is even outdated since now hulu is available for the HTC sensation.
I feel that like all other companies in the US, hulu caters to apple and don’t really care about Android. I understand that Android OS 2.3.5 is different for each device because of hardware, but still
Thanks for your email, and thanks for your interest in Hulu Plus! Of course, we want to support as many devices as possible, and we realize that waiting isn’t any fun. Please realize that developing for the Android platform brings up a unique set of challenges, as there are several different incarnations of the Android operating system; also, so many different devices run Android! We appreciate your patience in this matter and I hope we can offer you Hulu Plus on your Galaxy Tab soon!
I don’t love hulu plus I’ll be honest. The limited selection accompanied by paying a monthly fee and watching commercials doesn’t seem right. Never the less I’ve had it since day one. I’ve had it on my Iphone my iPad my Xbox my htc evo and my htc inspire. Everyone but iPad and Iphone took a long time to come to its respective device. Now that I’ve bought the Samsung galaxy s 2 epic 4g touch I feel like I’m tired of waiting again. I never believed the service to be a novelty, but if you want a streaming service like netflix or chrunchyroll, or vevo or crackle on your device it was just there to download. If I’m a loyal customer or a new customer, first and foremost hulu should be on the newest devices and or the top selling devices. If by the end of the month it’s not available on the galaxy’s 2 devices I’m canceling and not coming back.
I’m amazed at how irrational and rude most responses on this site have been.
I love Hulu plus, I use it at home on multiple Roku’s. I use it on my laptop and now use it on my Incredible 2. I will be thrilled when it’s available for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (WiFi).
For all of the uninformed… The control over licensing does not reside with Hulu. Mitigation and lawyers have to be involved before the service can even be permitted onto our devices. This again isn’t Hulu’s fault. Add in the fact that now you have to test the app on multiple software and hardware configurations before release. Think about the time and cost involved. If everyone knows how to do this better then why aren’t they doing it themselves?
And the fool complaining that you have to pay for the service… is just that, a fool. Just like on the computer, you have the regular Hulu service and then you have the paid Hulu+ service. Consider the mobile version a benefit for those loyal paying customers. Nothing in life is free. Deal with it.
Hi, as a long time Hulu customer I would love to be able to watch all my favorite shows on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet soon. Please make it available ASAP. Thank you.
Joseph
Wow what a complain fest. (I do semi-agree, as I have a Galaxy S II with 2.3.5 on it and don’t understand why it is not rolled out on it either)
I think a little better explanation would easily quiet the crowd.
Are you trying to implement Hardware DRM? Is it the Cellular Companies holding it back? Is it because of Android fragmentation? Is it because ……………….
Coming from an iPhone to Android about 3-4 months ago and importing a SGS2 from the UK to the US I was looking forward to Hulu Plus. I miss it a bit but it doesn’t ruin my weekend. For everyone that is complaining about No Support on this Device or That Device, really? How much time are you going to spend looking at your 3.x – 4.x screen watching TV. Not much more then you do now. It is a novelty app that will kill your battery. Just watch when it is released on these devices the Rating will plummet on the app store because of 1 star reviews complaining about battery drain. — Calling it now.
What’s taking so long with tablet support? I watch Netflix on my Samsung Galaxy 10 Tab every day. My Hulu+ sub is starting to seem like a waste of money in comparison.
Thanks for writing! Unfortunately we can’t support video out on your Android due to content licensing reasons. We’re actively looking into freeing up these rights, so stay tuned for the future.
If there’s anything else you’d like addressed, please be sure to let me know.
I’m a hulu plus subscriber, I watch on my ps3 currently, and would love to be able to play it on my phone, please roll out support for the HTC sensation, would be much appreciated, thank you.
I really hope the Droid Charge is next on the list. I spent all this money on a phone so I could have the best out there. I did not realize how many limitations I would face switching to a droid phone. I should have stuck with apple. Get on it hulu.
Why don’t you just allow the app to be installed with a disclaimer that it has not been tested on this device. I bet it would work for most android phones and people like me wouldn’t get so upset to not see their phone listed. It is kind of a big selling point for android – that the platform is consistent and apps are basically the same across manufacturers. You shouldn’t do anything to make this less true.
Why is the Hulu plus app not compatible with the Droid 3 yet? I am thinking about canceling my account with Hulu because I am on the road with my phone more than I am at home with my computer/TV.
Really… why are the OLDER phoned being supported before the new ones? My Droid 3 runs netlix and the dish network app just fine. Why do I need to go home just to watch hulu? Sheesh.
I cannot find the Hulu Plus app in the android market while using the MyTouch 4g. It’s available through my PC. But not from my mobile. Your list says that the MyTouch 4g is a supported device. Any advice ?
What amazes me is that the phones they have certified for the most part are older phones. Phones that are more powerful such as the phone I have the sensation 4G are not launched. What amazes me is that they have no tablet support. I like to have a straight answer why. Does it have to do with rights. I am curious. The newer phones can support it however they do not have anything listed.
I’ll consider hulu plus when and if you have it for the Epic 4G. It’s a very popular phon, with better video than most of the others you’re supporting. It should have been first on your list!
The delay in the Evo 3D support is getting to be an annoyance. I like Hulu Plus but I don’t see myself spending the money if I only have support on a single device… especially with the ads.
I love everything about my Droid Charge, the only thing on my wishlist is that HuluPLUS is on it as soon as possible. Although I do have to admit that it’s annoying when I go to watch an episode of a show on my Xbxo 360 and it says “WEB ONLY” that is another problem with HuluPLUS. The purpose of getting HuluPLUS is being able to watch things on other devices..and half the shows I watch are web only!
Samsung is second only to Apple in mobile device sales… and you’re not supporting any Samsung phones right now? I’m paying for Hulu Plus and I’m pretty disappointed that I can’t use the service on my mobile device. Samsung Galaxy S 4G
EPIC needs this app I too have been waiting patiently but its this is too much…. The Samsung Epic is meant for Hulu plus. I love my epic and am willing to stop throwing money away to hulu plus and give my money to netflix
I’m very sorry that we don’t currently support your Android model. Because Android phones and tablets each have a different set of specifications that we must take into account, we’re only able to support a select number of them at this point in time. We’ll be expanding Android support very quickly though, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see support for your model available soon.
Again, I’m sorry for the frustration. It’s been a long wait, and to see the launch and still be unable to use Hulu Plus can’t be easy. We’re working hard to bring Hulu Plus to a wide variety of Android devices as soon as possible. Thank you for being patient with us in the meantime.
Trying to set a record for the slowest rollout? The competition is far ahead and is now $1/mo cheaper… C’mon Hulu, put your back into it.
Now I’ve got that out of my system, some cold hard facts. I haven’t watched any Hulu content in 3 months and I’m considering dropping my Plus subscription. It’s not the content, great stuff there, but I can’t get it on my tablet where I watch shows/movies. Read my lips, “support tablets… especially Archos.”
Again, that’s nice you can support the Evo 4G, but come on, does the Gingerbread OS on the Evo 3D really make a difference why that phone can’t be supported at the same time? Other apps have been able to work with stability on both devices already. Hopefully this means support for Evo 3D arriving within the next few weeks.
EVO 3D!!!! when is this happening? I’m in my trial week, I guess I will cancel before they charge my card if this is not made available to for the EVO 3D… its kind of ridiculous since it was released for the EVO 4G which is almost at the device’s end of life.
Agreed, why is hulu not available on any android tablets? Rather than waste development time on phones that are over a year old (seriously who is into watching tv on a 3.5inch screen in 2011) when there are terrific honeycomb tablets shipping that are more than capable of watching tv shows.
Today, we are happy to announce that the Hulu Plus subscription service is available on select LG LCD TVs. The team here is particularly excited about this launch because we have added support for the innovative LG Magic Motion remote. Now you can control the Hulu Plus application with a simple point-and-click. We are going to be launching Hulu Plus on other LG devices in the coming weeks, so be sure to check out our devices page to stay up to date.
Thanks for posting and I’m sorry for the trouble. For situations like this, please contact us directly via email through our support form ( http://www.hulu.com/support/support_form ) and we’ll be happy to assist.
I have an LG tv and recently I have been unable to use the hulu app. Whenever I log on my hulu plus account it tells me I need to be a hulu plus suscriber. Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks for posting. At this time, our service is not available on the BD570. While I can’t say for certain that your specific model will be added in the future, we’re always looking to expand our lineup of supported devices. I hope this helps.
hey there and thanks on your information ? I’ve definitely picked up something new from right here. I did however experience some technical issues the use of this site, since I skilled to reload the site lots of occasions prior to I may just get it to load correctly. I were considering if your hosting is OK? No longer that I’m complaining, however sluggish loading cases instances will sometimes have an effect on your placement in google and can injury your quality rating if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and could glance out for a lot extra of your respective intriguing content. Make sure you replace this once more soon..
I think that what you posted was actually very
reasonable. However, what about this? what if you wrote a catchier title?
I ain’t saying your information is not solid., but what if you added a headline that makes people want more? I mean Hulu Plus Begins Rollout on Select LG Devices Hulu Blog is kinda plain. You could peek at Yahoo’s
home page and watch how they create article headlines to
get people interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your website a little livelier.
I’m sorry that our LG app was giving you playback trouble. Before you take it back, I’d like to try some troubleshooting steps with you to see if we can get Hulu Plus playing more smoothly. Please try unplugging both the LG BluRay and internet from power for 1 full minute then seeing if playback improves. If not, I’d suggest lowering video quality during playback, and making sure your player has the latest software update by going to Setup > Support > Software Update. If these steps don’t help, please feel free to write into us at hulu.com/support.
I so wish I had visited this site before buying an LG Bluray player. I have the same problem as many of the other comments on this site. Everything plays fine except Hulu Plus. It gets stuck after every commercial and on the initial load. Now it is sticking all the time, if I push the stop and then play button it works for a minute and then gets stuck again. I have a Wii and it works fine through that, but it is connected to a different TV. I am going to try to take the LG player back since I have only had it a couple of weeks, and wil never buy LG again.
Well I had a software update on my LG blu-ray player yesterday, installed it and now Hulu is working again. Thanks for all your hard work Hulu and LG. I am glad to be back up and running.
Thanks for contacting us. We are currently working with LG to get this resolved. Please reach out to LG’s support team for additional assistance and information ( http://www.lg.com/us/support ).
My apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.
I was having problems with my LG BD670 as well. The video would hang up on the loading screen every time. Setting my DNS to 8.8.8.8 seems to have solved the problem.
hulu plus sucks on LG tv 55LW5600 everything else netflix,vudu, amazon video….etc works very well. Hulu also start very well but as soon as ads starts it stucks….I believe the big problem is ads, it somehow stops after ads and keeps on buffering……. am not sure who needs to improve LG or Hulu but all the other premium channels works good on LG so problem is with Hulu not LG
I’m very sorry for the loading issues that are occurring on LG devices. Our team is aware of this problem, and our developers are currently investigating the issue. Unfortunately, we don’t have a solution at this time, but it has become one of our top priorities. Although I don’t have a timeline to share right now, we expect a to roll out a resolution shortly. I apologize for any inconvenience. If you would like to email us about your specific issue, please contact us at http://www.hulu.com/support .
It is not a DNS issue and I think Hulu knows it. That is just a good way of letting you hope they will work on your issue.
I have an LG BP320 and HULU is the only thing that does not work.
I have been in contact with support, and they are claiming that their developers are working on it. Unfortunately this issue has been going on a long time, and until they fix the bug, I think we are all screwed!
I seem to be having the same issue with Hulu Plus on my LG Blu Ray player. I can load the Hulu app, sign in and when I select a show it loads and plays the 1-2 minutes of commercials just fine, but hangs when trying to load the actual show. It just hangs on the loading screen with the dots…. I have tried several trouble shooting steps so far. I have powered the unit off and back on, reset my connections a few times, and tried hard setting the DNS to 8.8.8.8….I am not sure what else to try. It seems to have started after the last one or two software updates from LG, so it could just be something on their end…but when checking with my brother in-law he said he is having the same issues with his Hulu Plus app on his Blu Ray player….please help. Thanks.
Sorry to hear you’re having issues with our LG app. Mind trying some troubleshooting steps? Resetting the DNS server on your LG TV may help resolve the issue; I’ll include the steps to do so:
Wired setup

Wish I had come to this blogsite before subscribing to HuluPlus. I just purchased the LG BD 670 to stream some hulu content onto the television monitor. The “interface” is non-existent–can’t figure out how to get to my HuluPlus queue. Just getting the teaser scroll of content–is this really how it’s supposed to work? I can’t believe so much hype surrounds this streaming-on-any-device notion. Is there any way to access my HuluPlus queued content? thanks for any help.
As chris stated below I have the same exact problem with Hulu on the bd670. Its absolutely garbage. It will frequently freeze up right after it says ” the following program is broaght to you with……” then nothing loads. Does it about 70 percent of the time requiring me to unplug it from power and turn it back on. I have no problems with netflix or vudu, so I know its a Hulu problem. Alsoa recommendation would be to redesign the interface to work like the Hulu desktop app which is much more user friendly. Im pretty close to canceling my Hulu membership and just sticking with netflix. They appear to have software engineers that know more about what they are doing then Hulu does.
I previously posted this comment on March 7, but have not received a response.

I have an LG LE4200 LED TV. It is internet ready ( I get Netflix, Pandora, and other services) but there is not a link to Hulu Plus. Can you tell me how to get Hulu Plus on this model LG TV?
Hulu+ does not work with my (new) 55″ 3D LG TV. (It hangs constantly.) I have been working with Hulu for months to resolve the issue without result. Everything else works perfectly – Netflix streams without any problems. It is quite clearly the Hulu app. After being informed Hulu had fixed the problem yesterday, I downloaded the very latest firmware and tried again. No dice. As before, the app hangs after a commercial or two. Forever. How hard can this be? Get with the program, Hulu!
Thanks for posting. I’m sorry our LG application is giving you so much trouble. I’d be happy to help figure out what’s going on.
At the end of this reply, I’m going to include some troubleshooting steps that I think might help. They’re pretty basic, and it’s likely you’ve tried a few of them already, but I want to make sure we’re thorough here.
After you try these steps, let me know if you see any difference. When you do get back to us, if you’re still having trouble, please first head to ( http://speedtest.net ) and click the big green Begin Test button. What are the download and upload speeds in Mbps?
Any additional details you can share about the problem would be appreciated. I’m sure we’ll get this worked out.
Troubleshooting steps:
• Perform a power-cycle of your LG, modem, and router. Unplug all three from power and wait at least 1 minute before plugging them back in.
• If you’re connecting over Wi-Fi, plug your LG directly into your modem or router via Ethernet.
• Try lowering the video quality. During playback, press down on your remote and navigate over to the Video Quality section.
• Make sure you have the latest version of the firmware. Press Home on your remote and head to Setup > Support > Software Update.
Just purchased an 55″ LG 3-D TV, new 3-D player and new receiver for my husband. NetFix works, Amazon works but HULU Plus is always stuck. A total frustration! Do we have something not set correctly with the wand or is this HULU? If it’s a HULU issue…time to cancel until you all get your technology up to speed. Dr. S
I have an LG LE4200 LED TV. It is internet ready ( I get Netflix, Pandora, and other services) but there is not a link to Hulu Plus. Can you tell me if there will be in the future?
I’m sorry our Wii application is giving you so much trouble, and I’d be happy to help figure out what’s going on. I’m going to include some troubleshooting steps that I think might help. Some are pretty basic, and it’s likely you’ve tried a few of them already, but I want to make sure we’re thorough here.
Before all of that, the very first thing I’d like you to try is lowering the video quality on your Wii. Just press “Video Quality” during playback and select “Lower”. Do you see any difference?
If not, try the steps below and let me know if you see any difference. When you do get back to us, if you’re still having trouble, I’d like you to run a speed test on your Wii. To do so you will need the Wii Internet Channel installed (which can be found in the Wii Shop Channel). Once that is installed, please head to speedtest.net in the Wii Internet Channel and click on “Begin Test”. What are the Ping and Download Speed results?
Any additional details you can share about the problem would be appreciated. I’m sure we’ll get this worked out, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Hulu Support
Troubleshooting steps:
• Perform a power-cycle of your Wii, modem, and router. Unplug all three from power and wait at least 1 minute before plugging them back in.
• If you’re connecting over Wi-Fi, please consider connecting using an Ethernet cable – to do so, a Wii LAN Adapter is required which can be purchased here: (http://bit.ly/wJDzU ).
• Remove the Hulu Plus channel and add it again. You can do this by going to Wii Settings > Data Management > Channels > Select Hulu Plus and “Erase”.
• Make sure you have the most recent version of the Wii’s software. To check, head to Wii Options > Wii Settings > Wii System Update.
If the above steps don’t help, would you mind answering the following questions?
• Which video(s) were you trying to watch? (series title, season and episode number)
• When do the playback issues start? (at the beginning of the show, the middle, the end, etc.)
• Do you see the same problem with the ads?
Sorry to hear you’re having issues with our Wii app. I’ve emailed you some troubleshooting steps which should help out; please let us know if the issues persist.
Finally, hulu plus has networked with wii in order for them to stream off the wii console. However, the shows do not stream consistently. It freezes every couple of minutes and makes for a very frustrating experience. Why is this happening? I don’t have any problems streaming netflix on my wii console?
Hulu is fine wirelssy on my ROKU, on the other side of the house, far away from the router. I tried the suggestion about changing my wireless channel, but get the same thing. And it happens wired as well. The problem is definitely the Hulu app on the LG BD670. Seriously – is anyone who can do something about it going to address the problem?
I am reading all these problems with Hulu, It isnt HULU. It turns out that your internet connection/network/wireless network and the signal from such is a bigger reason you are getting jitter or freezing. Try changing the channel your network broadcasts on and you will probably find that you are not as discussed with Hulu as you are now. Look at all the network channels being broadcast in your networks area and change it to one that isnt being used. Usually by default everyones network is broadcasting on Channel 11 of your network.
It does NOT work with LG Tvs, I have a 42lv5400, it freezes almost every time after commercials in the loading screen… Other than that it plays flawlessly but the loading screen is always the problem. Please fix this.
I have the same problems listed above. I purchased a LG BD670 blu-ray because it has HULU Plus however won’t stream consistently. I will be canceling the subscription before the free trial is over.
Same problems here. I was excited to try Hulu plus on my LG BD670 blu-ray and found it won’t load. I’ll be canceling the subscription before the free trial is even over! Very disappointed as this is my first experience with Hulu.
I too got an LG670 around Christmas, and am in the midst of a free trial of Hulu plus. When it works its great, and the picture is even better than Netflix. Sadly it is not consistent. Like others have noted, it often hangs when loading a program or clip, and sometimes won’t load at all. I also see no way to see my queue or favorites within the app, there appears to be no search feature, nor can I browse by genre. To find a program or movie one seemingly has to go click next through countless choices to finally arrive at the wanted one. I hope it all gets worked out, but right now I’m not sure its worth the hassle to continue past the free trial.
I have a Lg tv LE5400 and BluRay player BD550 and neither one of them have HuluPlus. I understand that Lg is just as much to blame with us not having the service as Hulu is. I suggest that everyone contact Lg, either by phone or email, as I did, to let them know our frustration with this. If Lg hears from enough of us with the specific models, just maybe they will move forward with getting HuluPlus to all of us. Just a thought.
Same problems here. We were excited to try Hulu plus on our LG BD670 blu-ray and found it won’t load. We’ll be canceling our subscription before the free trial is even over! Very disappointed as this is my first experience with Hulu.
I gave my husband a blue ray player for Christmas and picked LG 670 because it could stream Hulu. It takes too long to load and gets hung up and doesn’t work right. We enjoy the content on Hulu+, but Netflix is much less trouble to watch. PLEASE fix the app for LG Blueray 670 so the streaming is smooth and it doesn’t take forever to load or freeze up.
I have a new LG BD670 bluray player. The problems I am having are not unlike those that others are experiencing. Shows get stuck at the beginning when loading the commercials and never play or will begin to play but are caught in a loop of playing for 15 seconds and pause to load for around 30. Also, if for some reason the show works (which is a rarity) the load time for the commercials is often longer than the commercials themselves. I have been using Hulu for over a year on my Xbox and experienced little to no issues using this app. This initially led me to believe the obvious fault was with the new hardware, however I have had no problems with Netflix, YouTube and most importantly with streaming full 1080p movies watching Vudu’s HDX content. Additionally Vudu provides a service of scanning your systems network capabilities to ensure your satisfaction and my system consistently maxes out at the greater than 9mbps mark. So with my system passing this test as well as flawlessly streaming video from multiple other vendors I feel I can logically conclude Hulu’s app for the LG BD670 is flawed. I am canceling my subscription until I have been made confident that this problem has been resolved.
I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’re having while trying to watch on your Blu-ray player. If it’s not too much more trouble, can you drop us a line at (www.hulu.com/support) with more details about the issues you’re seeing?
I purchased a BD670 with HuluPlus 1 week ago. Hulu often (80-90% of the time) gets stuck on “loading” a TV show and will not play. Also if you browse TV episodes too much the system will hang. You probably have a memory leak in your app. Netflix works fine.
Just got the BD670 and it has the Hulu Plus app but when I try to view the demo videos they either play with huge interruptions and skipping, or don’t play at all and just show a “loading” bar. Navigation in the app is also very slow/laggy. For comparison both netflix and amazon video are working just fine on the same player.
I echo the comment regarding LG Bluray BD640. I’d really like to know if you ever intend on making Hulu Plus available for the LG Blu-Ray player BD640. What is the likelihood that you will make it available on this system? What are the future plans for this system? I am so disappointed that I cannot watch HULU Plus on Netcast. I bought it in July 2011 and Hulu plus indicated that all 2011 LG Blu ray models would have HULU Plus. Are you specifically working on this?
Thanks for posting. I’m really sorry that we don’t currently support your model Blu-ray player. Ideally, we’d want Hulu Plus on as many devices as possible, so we’ll keep working with LG to add your model. What I can suggest in the meantime is to keep an eye on our supported devices page ( hulu.com/plus/devices ) for any updates to new LG models we might be supporting in the future. Again, I’m sorry for the inconvenience but I hope this information helps!
I recently bought a LG BD640 that was made in July 2011. I wish at the time I knew that it hadnt come with hulu plus. I recently signed up for hulu but truly see no point in keeping your service if my device isnt going to be updated. I do watch it on my computer but I would prefer to use the blu ray player I bought. Please notify me if possible if this model will be updated. I will be cancelling my subscription at the end of the month if I still cant get updated. Thank you.
Hulu Plus constantly crashes on the LG BluRay player I bought. I’m not able to watch shows 90% of the time without having to restart the system. Really disappointed with both LG and Hulu
I am irritated that my 1 year old TV that I paid extra money for just so it had the built in features such as Netflix and Vudu seems to be cast aside for their new Smart TV. Certainly Hulu Plus can be added to the NetCast TVs.
I have signed up for Hulu Plus and watch it through my computer. However, I would love to be able to watch it through my LG BluRay player. The model is BD640 and was manufactured January 2011. Do you know of any plans to add those devices to be able to stream your content?
Hulu is really killing themselves. I can not use my $400 LG to get Hulu?
Stupid! Most people I know can not get the service.
How do you expect to get customers if no one can get to your service?
Thanks for your email, and thanks for your interest in Hulu Plus! I’m afraid I haven’t any specifics to offer regarding timeframes or upcoming models. Of course, we want to support as many devices as possible and I hope we can offer you support on these devices soon!
I’m sorry that we don’t offer support for your your LG Blu-ray BD570 just yet. We want to make Hulu Plus available on every device imaginable – but in order to do that, we need to obtain a specific set of streaming rights for each device, and we need agreements in place with both our content owners and the hardware manufacturers.
We’re working towards that goal, and while I don’t have any information about if or when your device will be supported, I suggest keeping an eye on our list of supported devices at ( http://www.hulu.com/plus/devices ).
Yesterday I subscribed to Hulu Plus hoping to watch it through my Bluray LG BD570, which works amazingly with Netflix and Youtube.
You do not support the BD570 yet? I’m sorry, I am canceling my subscription now.
I want to second the sentiment of adding Hulu to the BD550 device. Netflix is nice, but it appears to be imploding right now. I don’t count myself amongst those angry with Netflix because I’d quit my home delivery service long before they announced the price hikes and separation of the two services. My problem with Netflix is you can’t watch current content.
I know there are licensing issues, but if you could make a concerted effort to resolve them; it would be wonderful. I can tell you I am not shelling out money for another blu-ray device, when I haven’t had this one a full year.
Please add support for LG BD570. I watch Netflix all the time on it and would love to be able to access my Hulu+ account as well. I won’t shell out more $$ on another player just to access your service.
Hulu – I’ve been hoping for months that Hulu PLUS would be added to the LG BD-570. With Netflix in turmoil, NOW is the time to increase access to increase share. If the BD-570 was supported, I’d drop Netflix and sign up for PLUS today. If you want to increase your customer base, there is no good reason to force them to buy a new device. I can’t justify spending another $200 on a BD player when this one works perfectly fine. Sorry Hulu, but maybe we just weren’t meant to be.
over 600,000 people recently left Netflix, and you guys don’t have the availability for those customers with Blu-ray players by LG to switch over ? what a mind job.
Need Hulu Plus on LG-BD570. Folks are not going to buy a new $200 player just to get Hulu Plus. You are missing out on a big set of customers who have bought into the LG 500 series and can be potential customers. Streaming is going to take over blu-ray rentals…
I understand you have licensing issues with LG BD500 series…but you need to re-evaluate that. Because once streaming becomes king, people won’t buy expensive LG Blu-ray players and just get a simple streaming device and Hulu’s investment in LG products will be of little value.
Capitalize on the market of people who already have decent streaming LG players!
The fact that folks (including myself) bought a tv hoping to have advertised
online capability, only to find out that the company is too sorry to support
these devices is a bunch of crap. I will not buy another LG tv or anything else.
I’m sorry for the trouble our application’s giving you. I recommend getting in touch with us at http://hulu.com/support so we can help troubleshoot and get things running properly again.
I have an LG BD 670, purchased about a month ago, before HULU Plus was on it. It updated one day, and HULU plus was available, and I signed up and am now being charged on my CC. HULU Plus worked for a while, although frequently paused for “loading”. Now, it just spins on loading after a selection is made and the video never loads. No problem with Netflix which is also on the BD 670. What’s up? I feel like canceling my subscription, because it doesn’t work, but I really want the service. I don’t have cable. Internet streaming through the BD 670 only, or a notebook if I have to.
It’s true, we don’t have any plans to support 2010 models at this time, but we’re always evaluating what devices we can get on. The technological and licensing aspects of supporting models are complex and in this case we weren’t able to support those older models at this time, but that doesn’t mean things couldn’t change in the future.
LG recently posted an update for the BD570. I was sure it would be for HULU-Plus. Sadly it was not. I could not see what the update was for. Can we expect HULU on the next update?
I have two LG Blu-ray players and would subscribe to your service if I could use it on them… any news on updates? A schedule for rolling out to BD players?
Pretty much really upset with Hulu, got an email saying they pretty much dont intend to support last years LG Blu-Ray models even though they are netcast equipped, and vudu, divxtv , netflix, all made it work?? whats the deal.
Thanks for your post. Unfortunately I don’t have a list of the supported Blu-Ray models at this time, but I’ll work on getting that live as soon as we can.
The LG 47LE5400 won’t be supported at launch, but we’d like to support as many devices as possible, so there’s always a possibility it will be added at a later date.
Hey, I have an LG BD670 blu ray player where the Hulu Plus icon newly shows but doesn’t work. I realize that this is probably an LG thing, but PLEASE HELP!!!
I just bought aLG-ST600 SmartTV Upgrader in hopes of watching HuluPlus rather than Netflix only to find Flashplayer 10.03 is required and Hulu content can’t be watched. I, like Keith, would like to know ifLG-ST600 SmartTV Upgrader be supported in the near future.
Only thing keeping from ditching cable is that it is not available on the Tab 10.1. I know several people in the same boat that already use Hulu for free and would gladly upgrade to get it on their Honeycomb tablets as well.
Come on Hulu – help us out and get with the program!!
We’ve always said our mission is to provide the world’s premium content to people when, how and where they want it. And we know that a lot of people want that content on their Android smartphones. We’ve been working hard to make that a reality, and today, we have begun our early rollout of the Hulu Plus application on Android smartphones.
With the first phase of the Android rollout, Hulu Plus is available on six phones, including the Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Droid II, Motorola Droid X, and the Motorola Atrix. We expect to add to the number of Android smartphones and will be making additional device announcements throughout the year.
The free Hulu Plus app is available for download from Android Market, and once installed, Hulu Plus subscribers will be able to enjoy the service on the go. As always, Hulu Plus offers new subscribers one free week to try the service.
No offense but its total BS that you have been designing the app for the HTC and “Droid” based phones and ignoring the Samsung products. There is even some serious irony in this decision because no one can argue that Samsung phones have better screens via the Super AMOLED technology (even better in many regards than the iPhone screeens). Not just a little better, but by a wide margin. So basically you designed an app to watch Hulu on the absolute most pixelated and washed out screens available on the android platform. Good thinking guys…congrats on that.
Its sad that you still don’t support any current Android 3.x tablets. Its funny that you support the HTC flyer that just came out but no 10″ tablets. Why would I want to watch TV on a phone when I have an Asus Transformer. Sad.
To get a list of the particular devices that have Hulu Plus support, you can visit ( http://www.hulu.com/plus/devices ). There you will see what currently brings the ability to stream Hulu Plus, and also which devices may be coming soon. If you have any specific questions on any device in particular, you can reach out to our support team at ( http://www.hulu.com/support ).
We are looking at getting a device to hook up to our tv for internet since we watch at least half of our shows on Hulu+. Can you list all of the current devices Hulu+ is compatible with so we know which tablet or program to buy?
Because Android phones each have a different set of specifications that we need to take into account, we’re only able to support a select number of them at this point in time. We’ll be expanding Android support as quickly as we can though!
So I was so pumped to download hulu plus on my phone to then find out that my phone can’t do it..i have the dorid increable and yea..no hulu plus. this sucks…at least i have netflix.
Interesting, that by the time Hulu releases the app as “Compatible” the phone is almost already out of date…. Yet some standards, like the Motorola Xoom. (One of the first major Android Tablets) still isn’t on the list.
I think what I, and a lot of people with half a brain, are wondering is “How can Netflix, do it but Hulu Can’t?” They have the same “TV vs. Computer” issues, yet they seem to be able to create a client for android.
Perhaps, if you’d stop listening to the Apple Marketing engine, you’d realize you are alienating a huge customer segment. I obviously am not a paying customer, as Hulu is not available for all my devices.
I’d rather not compromise for outdated hardware (like an iPhone/iPad/iPod) in order to use a PAY service on top of that costs.
Really, Hulu+ + Wifi Internet Fees/Data Plan + Cost of hardware = It’s just not worth it.
I was very disappointed to find out that my new birthday gift, the Samsung Galaxy Tab wasn’t among the devices that Hulu will play on! When I was researching which tablet I wanted I went to Hulu (that was actually one of the main reason I started paying for Hulu) and saw that Android tablets were supported, then when I tried to download the app I am told that my device is not supported…Happy Birthday to me, NOT!
You know — your “support” staff is quick to jump on anybody that mentions wanting their service for free but they remain completely silent and offer NO explanations for those of us that pay monthly and want to watch on our tablets. I do pay. When are you planning to unblock service on tablets? I watch hulu on my EVO so why do I have to constantly hack my ASUS Transformer to use the service I paid for??? Let me guess — you’re not going to offer an explanation. Kind of the same way I’m not going to offer to pay my bill next month. I’m frustrated and pretty over it.
I watch movies and TV shows on my phone a lot. I’m waiting to subscribe to Hulu Plus when it’s available for Galaxy S phones (specifically the Epic 4G). Until then at least I have Netflix.
Unfortunately—to honor the deals we have in place for our content—we have to stream to mobile devices through our app. I completely understand your frustration regarding this. As I’m sure you’re aware, the Android platform has many different incarnations and can be installed on a variety of devices. While we want to offer our app on as many devices as possible, we also want to provide a quality experience for our users. We appreciate your patience and we will make it worth the wait.
It’s not about getting something for free, it’s about not restricting access to subscription services which we pay for (HULU Plus) on any capable device such as the Galaxy 10.1 tablet which support it natively. I pay for HULU Plus yet I’ve had to HACK my Galaxy 10.1 just to get the content for which I pay HULU and would play right out of the box if not for your restrictions.
Please explain why HULU developed and published a HULU Plus app for iOS (iphone, ipad) due to @pple’s refusal to support FLASH yet restricts access to the paid subscribers using the only relevant @pple competing platform which supports it natively.
I’ve been waiting 6 months for hulu plus to come out on my galaxy. Netflix hasn’t had any problem with it as well as hbogo, and many others. Get your priorities straight, forget about criterion collection commercials, GIVE ME SOME MOBILE TV!!!!
C’mon Hulu time to step up the adult table and get cranking this limited release of a few phones whenever you feel like it is boring me and others there is now reason for it I canceled my account because of you lack up support for me devices I mean serious the Evo 4g but not the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7″ and how long till you plan on supporting the Motorola Photon???? Get off your butts andget in the game also nice job not formatting your blog for mobile devices
You raise a great point, and I’m sorry you are disappointed you can’t access Hulu on your device for free. I know it’s frustrating to have to pay for services you believe should be free. I’d love to speak to the issue.
When we launched the free Hulu.com service, our rights were limited to streaming on the PC. Unfortunately, mobile and TV devices were not included in these contracts, and in order to add them, we’ve had to do so under a paid service, Hulu Plus. This is for many reasons, including the high price of these types of streaming rights and because many shows required they be part of a paid service to be on these types of devices.
We shouldn’t have to pay to get hulu plus on our phones if we can get regular hulu free on a computer. The only reason I even bought a smart phone is because I’ve been having trouble with my computer speakers, and the sales people told me I could watch tv on my phone. Lo and behold, no regular hulu, and no hulu plus. (Not that I would pay for it anyways.)
PLEASE get linked up with the incerdiable 1 please!!!!! you all have support fopr the 2nd model but not the first??????? hook us up hulu. Or im ganna have to cancell my account:( i got it to watch on my phone and now i cant.
Although I have nothing to announce at this time, do know that our developers are working to support more Android products in the future. Currently we’re on 20 Android devices, and we do expect this number to increase over time. My best advice is to keep an eye out on the devices page (hulu.com/plus/devices) for any new information about support for new Android devices in the future.
Because of the intention for use of Google TV with a TV set, it qualifies as a television device and therefore a different set of streaming rights and contract restrictions. While we have not announced plans at this time, we get a lot of requests for it, so it’s definitely on our radar. Specifically, we’d love to add it as a supported device for Hulu Plus, so keep an eye out for that.
Just bought the Galaxy S2… Still no Hulu plus??? So now I have one of the most advanced phones on the market and can’t watch my Hulu Plus subcription???
Come on Hulu, when are we going to see the support for the new phones???
I can’t believe that it hasn’t been addressed already, give us a date for full support, it’s really not as hard as you are pretending, just put some effort into it…
No official word on Galaxy S support just yet. We’re working on expanding Android support to more phones and tablets, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see support for the Galaxy S in the future.
When are you going to have Hulu for the Samsung Galaxy S phone? I have many friends with this phone and we are eagerly awaiting the addition of it to your list. Is there a timeframe we can expect this so we can sign up for Hulu Plus?
Why won’t they make an app for my android tablet? The whole reason i subscribed as to use it on my tablet. If it doesnt come out soon or within the next month im cancelling my subscription…same goes for netflix….
I just purchased a Samsung infuse. I was very surprised to learn i can’t get hulu and extremely disappointed. At&t however, does offer Mobil tv. I guess ill cancel my hulu subscription and go with at&t. Your loss hulu!
It has nothing to do with making Hulu work on different types of phone and tablets. All of the phones and tablets support Hulu just like PC’s and Macs already do. Hulu just chooses to specifically block certain devices and its picking certain android devices to allow. But it has nothing to do with them making it work it has worked for a long time they just block it.
I’ve been a hulu plus subscriber for quite some time. I recently purchased a samsung galaxy 10.1 tablet specifically for viewing hulu+ programming. Hulu better get it sorted out very soon… or i’m gone for good.
Ok Hulu let me help you with your game plan. You have two different types of mobile devices that carriers are currently supporting; tablets/pads and phones. You need to talk to the carriers; ATT, TMO, Sprint and VZW of the world and ask them what the three highest selling andriod phones are at this time. Ditto for tablets/pad. Then you get with your Dev team and get in the carrier labs to get this app completed and rolled out. It’s not rocket science. Your killing you company by not having this app for andriod tablets.
ipad or galaxy tab? I specifically wanted to watch Hulu in bed – so I chose the Galaxy Tab 10.1 since it had flash support. Oh, Hulu is blocking it on mobile devices. Fine, I’ll pay for Plus. Oh, it’s only supported on certain phone versions of android. ಠ_ಠ
ok hulu as for me there is no doubt that you guys have the best programs and networks,”try to include tbs” but whats up with the androids, you told us “soon” and “wait” i just think the waitings been long because doing this via app on the cellphones is not the same as you would see the contents or programs on the pc or tv. Still i think once you get through this bump you’ll be A.O.K.
Have EVO 4G been waiting for ever for this app for what seems like forever. And you drop the ball like this. Might have to cancel service just sad. Also tablet support is a must. Have HBOgo. Don’t know if I need much more.
I have been waiting for months for this silly little app to come out for the Android phones and they decide to have the app only work on some Android phones. I mean, I just got the Samsung Charge from Verizon…..wtf?
It’s amazing how enough is never enough for some people! Wow! Thanks HULU for working on getting this to the phones. I do wish we did not have to have an app but whatever works!
No Evo! ? Come on Hulu doesn’t it make sense to include one of THE most popular Android phones? I second the comment above. Offline viewing would be awesome!
It makes sense that they’d support older Android phones first. Also because all the phones are not identical, they can’t just write it once and make it work properly because of all the concern hollywood has over copy protection. Its not Hulu’s fault. Its simple for Iphones, because there are so few variations….Motorola Xoom, how many people actually have that compared to Nexus One? a lot less!
No luck on G2, too bad. I will probably not go past the 7 days and just look around to your competitors. Someone who commands a huge salary sucks at their job. That is how this happens. Sigh.

Hey I was just wondering what the deal is with bothering with an app? Seems like it would be so much simpler to just let android users who have a Hulu Plus subscription to log in(by-passing the mobile blocker) and view it via the browser. I know the trendy thing now a-days is to “have an app for that” but be practical and go the “web app” route. Then you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues among multiple devices and could continue delivering via Flash.
…AGREED. This is rediculous. I pay for something that I can not use on something I use or have with me 90% of the time. Epic Fail. If Evo is not supported with in the next month OR if I can not log on simply using my huluplus on the browser within the next month I will cancel my subscription and encourage everyone else that I know who pays for huluplus to do the same.
Just one more Evo owner scratching his head trying to figure out why my phone wasn’t in the initial rollout. Hey, it’s OK, you screwed up. All will be forgiven, if you fix it…fast!!!
Have been thinking of getting hulu plus for at home but will wait now until hulu plus supports the HTC Evo series… Just subscribed to Netflix since the new OTA update of Gingerbread supports Netflix again. You are missing the boat Hulu…
No HTC Evo? Get with it Hulu! You already have my money! Give me my app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remind me again why we can’t just watch Hulu through our flash enabled browsers? I’d actually buy a Hulu plus subscription if you just allowed us to access the content through our mobile browsers. I’m holding on to my money till then..
Please, provide a single reason not supporting the hotest two phones on the market, Samsung S2 and HTC Sensation? Why start with support for old phones people don’t use anymore?
You completly missed the boat on this launch. You’ve waited to long to release an app at all, even netflix beat you to the punch. Then when you release it you dont support the biggest selling phone on the Sprint Network the Evo4g. Yet there are sprint ads all over your site.
I honestly dont get why you didnt support at a minimum the phones that netflix has support for. Its obvious the DRM issues can be overcome with those phones. As for the first wave of rollouts if you take forever to roll out interest will go elsewhere now that the wait for instant content is over with the other sources available.
Android kicks ass! On what other phone can you switch out roms and operating systems, play with themes etc. To heck with Hulu. I have an HTC HD2, wiped Winmo which I hated, installed Cyanogen mod Android OS and a working version of Netflix – works super good like HD quality!
NOT working on Nexus S although you state that it does. When I go to the android market it, it says that Hulu is incompatible with my device Nexus S…..
Android is not like iOS. Android is used as a starting point for other companies to tweak and change. Android on one phone does not equal Android on another phone. Android = Fragmentation, folks.
I should have tried this before commenting. I’ve done so — and it worked great. I’ve only tried it on my WLAN, not on 3G. After selecting a video, the interface to play it is just what I see in Hulu on my Tivo Premier. Video was a little jerky/pixellated at first, presumably during buffering, but then it smoothed out.
After checking out a few minutes, we actually watched the program via Tivo. No substitute for a big screen if 2+ people want to view together. (Well, I could use HDMI from the Droid, but the Tivo makes that unnecessary.)
Like Jason said above, I own a Droid X with all the latest Android update (gingerbread) yet I can’t install the Hulu Plus App from the Android Market because it says under the Install link that My device, The Verizon Droid X is not supported. it it is listed as being supported in the description. Plus my Droid X can not event find the App throughout the Market on the phone itself, only through a browser Any ideas?
I have been paying for hulu plus cant believe it won work on galaxy tab 10.1 or any android tablet. I have the samsung infuse 4g atleast support that. You guys are breaking my balls. I have netflix also so whoever supports my devixes first the other is out the door
I’ve been looking for this for a while, and Eureka! my Droid X is supported. But during that wait Hulu became available on my Tivo Premier, where we use it a lot. Now I don’t know how much use I’ll get out of it on the Droid…but then, I’m already paying for the service, so this is gravy.
[...] the app, right? Well, here is the list of phones that currently support the application with Hulu promising support for additional devices later on this [...]
Serious Question: Why are you OK with people watcing your free content on a 10″ windows pc but not a 10″ Android pc? Could I watch on Linux? What if someone installed Windows 7 on a device with a 4″ screen?
Why arbitrarily block 3 or 4 operating systems from your free content?
Seriously? Did you not learn anything from Netflix? There are so many tablets now – you did not hit 1. You catered to a few phones that will be gone in 6 months. An app should work cross-platform. You CAN rely on flash inside of the application (which likely has your DRM component). Why in the world continue to wait for it on the processor level and piss everyone else in the world off? This is simply ridiculous.
I have a Droid X and just tried to install… it says my device is not supported. That seems to contradict this very post saying the X is one of the only 6 supported devices.
Great it’s on my nexus one, is there a rough timeframe when it’ll be on other devices? (or at least let it be unprotected as we still need to log in anyway to use it, and can try it on non-official devices).

This is great! I’d love to see an option for saving episodes for offline viewing: generally, when I’m interested in watching TV on my phone, I’m offline (on an airplane, in a subway, etc…). Thanks!

You have got to be kidding me! “Huluplus is now available on the wd live TV hub!” Malarky! Huluplus USED to be available on wd live TV hub, now all I get is a “loading” screen and then I get the message saying problems with internet connection! I paid for the service and it’s selling point to me was the fact I could watch it on my tablet, plug my tablet into the TV and resume watching the same show OR just turn on my wd live TV hub and again, just resume where I left off. It was so versatile! It definately was an asset! But now, it’s so inflexible that I’m considering stopping my subscription, I mean really, how many people would ONLY want to watch hulu on a small 10 inch screen when there’s a 60 inch TV just across the room from them? Hulu, if you want to keep my business-or those like me, since I know I’m not the only one feeling this way-then I suggest you give us back the service we had in the beginning-more versatility! Access on multiple devices….as much as I hate how slow netflix is about updating their lists, they will continue to keep my business as long as they keep being an asset, meaning as long as they keep being available to all my devices in my home!….can someone say this about you hulu?
I’m a little disappointed with hulu plus. all the shows i watch are not on here and the ones that are on here are severely old episodes the reason I got hulu plus was to watch new episodes cause I don’t have TV/cable I cant afford it now i’m paying for something i’m not getting i feel as if this is false advertisement.
Hi James,
There are some troubleshooting steps we can try, mind emailing us? (support@hulu.com)

I have had the WD box for about 6 months and I am still waiting for you to fix the search feature. Today I spent a half hour trying to add Jimi Hendrix to my queue. Iget one or two sometimes three screen levels in and it would lock up. Finely I had to give up and add it on my laptop. This is my normal with your poorly designed software. And no I downloaded the latest firmware yesterday. Please fix I cannot stand such a good service being so crappy.

What is the holdup on bring a Hulu Plus App to Boxee users?
What is the point of paying for HuluPlus to use on devices such as Roku, when several shows are “web only”. For example HGTV, Food Network, ABC Family, and now even prime time shows like “The Voice”. I’m seriously considering returning my Roku and cancelling Huluplus completely. I couldn’t be more disappoint with both Roku and Hulu… Like another comment states, “A little truth in advertising by Roku and Hulu would be nice.”
Can you tell me when hulu plus will start working with the samsung galaxy s2?
Can you give me a time frame of when the galaxy s2 will start working with hulu plus please?
I purchased a new phone “Samsung galaxy 2″ and now can’t get the hulu app very disappointed…

Extremely disappointed that Roku advertises you get Hulu Plus, but you only get limited shows. For example, we really like HGTV and Food Network, but Hulu won’t let Roku stream those networks. You can watch them on your PC, but that defeats the purpose of getting a device like Roku. A little truth in advertising by Roku and Hulu would be nice.
That would be great news…if I had a WD TV. Now when are you going to make the android app available on honeycomb. If Netflix can do it you can
Good news….except, there’s no “channels” option on the WD Box. This is crucial for some of us.
Another issue is that the tv series Fringe (for example) seems to be accessible from my browser on Hulu’s website, but it fails to show up from a search on the WD Box? What’s going on with these?
Hi Kaia,
To activate closed captions on your WD device please follow these steps:
Play a closed-captioned video. Press the down arrow on your remote until you see green brackets highlight the “Browse” option. Press the right arrow until the “CC” option is highlighted. Press the OK key (the button in the center of the arrows) to toggle between “Off” and “On.” If you are still having trouble please let us know at http://bit.ly/HuluHelp.
Thanks,

I can’t seem to figure out how to enable closed captioning for hulu plus programs on my WD TV Live hub. What am I missing? Help!
Hi Eli,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble loading some shows. Please let us know what shows this is occurring with at http://bit.ly/HuluHelp . We look forward to helping you out with this.

Thanks for adding the WDTV support. Please improve the seeking interface, though. Trying to seek to where I stopped watching that 1h+ movie yesterday is incredibly painful. How about making the || buttons jump backward/forward by 10minutes?
I’m happy to see Hulu Plus finally come to WD Live Plus, but there seems to be some problems with loading…I pick a show I want to watch and I am stuck at Loading… I pick some random show and it loads. What’s the deal?
Now bring it to the Boxee Box!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! I love my WD TV box but was thinking about cancelling Hulu Plus – since you guys added support for this device AND are adding some Rifftrax content you can count me among a VERY happy subscriber!
Any chance Hulu Plus will be coming to AppleTV any time soon? I use my PS3 right now, but the AppleTV is far more energy efficient and easier to navigate, so I’d prefer to use that.
When is Hulu+ coming to GoogleTV products like my Sony Internet TV Blu-ray player? On the unit, I get a messagesYing that Hulu is working hard to make this happen, but the news that I read about the situtatiobo online paints a different picture; it’s not a technical problem, as Hulu works in Google Chrome, it’s a business deal problem. So make the deal and give the consumer what we want!
