Hulu Live TV Channels List 2020: The Complete Guide
Some of the links in this post are from our sponsors. Read our disclosure to see how we make money.
The Hulu channels list is one of the best available. It combines live programming from popular networks like ESPN and HGTV with a vast library of on-demand content.
Most importantly, the platform costs less than half the average cable bill.
How Much is hulu live tv?
It currently runs $54.99 per month for the service, and you can use the 7-day free trial to see if you like the service. Learn more about the different plans the provider offers, which devices you can stream Hulu Plus on and all the details about this streaming service in our Hulu with Live TV review.
what channels are on hulu?
Local networks are included for no added fee, which isn’t typical among streaming services. This includes all live local, regional, and national channels available in your area.
A subscription avoids the need for a digital antenna (like the Mohu Leaf that we use) to get local channels.
Sports fans will love the fact that all of the ESPN channels as well as Fox Sports are included. That makes Hulu Live one of the best ways to watch sports without cable.
Other streaming services make you choose between ESPN or Fox Sports channels, or between sports and lifestyle / entertainment channels.
Hulu Live doesn’t make you choose one or the other. It gives you the best and most popular live, local, sports, news and entertainment content for one reasonable monthly cost.
hulu Local Channels
As was already mentioned, a subscription includes local channels. Unlike other cable alternatives, which either don’t offer local channels or charge a fee, Hulu Live comes with them.
For no extra cost you can enjoy all the live local, regional, and national channels available in your area.
hulu Add-on channels
If you want premium channels or additional channels beyond the 65+ channels included in a subscription, you can add them on for an extra cost.
Premium channel add-ons include the following popular packages:
- HBO – $14.99 per month
- Cinemax – $9.99 per month
- SHOWTIME – $10.99 per month
- STARZ – $8.99 per month
In addition to premium channels, you can supplement your Hulu channels list experience with two different packages for an extra cost:
- Entertainment Package – $7.99 per month, which includes: American Heroes, CNBC World, Cooking Channel, Destination America, Discovery Family, Discovery Life, DIY Network, FYI, LMN and Science.
- Español Package – $4.99 per month, which includes: CNN en Español, Discovery en Español, Discovery Familia, ESPN Deportes, History Channel en Español and Universo.
Lastly, if you’re a Disney fan, they bundle Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN+, saving you 25 percent versus individually subscribing to each platform.
Read our Disney+ app review to learn how the service works.
Read our review of ESPN+ to learn how that service works.
what shows are on hulu?
Part of the reason Hulu Live is able to offer so many popular channels is because the major TV networks started the streaming giant.
This makes it easy for Hulu Plus to offer live and on-demand access to a number of the most popular shows.
Some of the most binge worthy shows include:
- Atlanta, This is Us, The Handmaid’s Tale, Harlots, Castle Rock
- American Horror Story, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Community
- Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Arrested Development
- Seinfeld, Black-ish, Superstore, Vikings, Preacher, Schitt’s Creek
- Star Trek (the original series and the Next Generation)
From drama to comedy to sci-fi, horror and reality TV, you can watch a lot of stellar content. If you don’t see your favorite show listed here, chances are good that it is included in the Hulu TV shows list.
questions viewers ask
Does Hulu Live Have A DVR?
Along with “what channels do you get with Hulu?” whether or not it comes with a DVR is one of the most asked questions we receive about the streaming provider.
Hulu Live has one of the largest streaming libraries on the market. It makes sense that you’d want a DVR to help you watch it all.
The base package includes:
- 50 hours of cloud DVR storage
- The ability to watch content on two screens at a time
- Ability to watch live TV on your favorite device (iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Samsung Smart TVs, LG smart TVs, Nintendo Switch)
Fifty hours of free DVR storage may be enough for you, unless you are an avid sports fan and have many games you want to record throughout the year. If that’s the case, you can upgrade to the enhanced cloud DVR option.
The enhanced cloud DVR add-on allows you to record up to 200 hours of content. Other plusses include:
- Fast-forward through commercials
- No limit on simultaneous recordings
- Ability to stream your recordings anywhere, on supported devices
The extra 150 hours of recording will cost you an extra $14.99 per month. If you record a lot of content, you may find that add-on worth the cost.
How many TVs can you stream at once?
Another add-on your household may appreciate is the unlimited screens feature.
With so many Hulu Live TV channels to enjoy, your family may want to watch three or more different shows at once, all on various devices.
If that’s the case, you may want to upgrade beyond the two screens at once option, which is included in the base subscription.
Adding unlimited screens will cost you $14.99 per month. That may be too expensive for you, but if your family is constantly fighting over the remote, you may find it worth the cost.
What are the available plans?
There are three plans:
Hulu: This plan contains ads, with no live TV. This is the cheapest plan, at $5.99 per month. You must wait 24 hours after air date to watch any network shows.
Hulu (no ads): This plan is an upgrade from the $5.99 per month plan, but you benefit from no ads on most shows. You must still wait 24 hours to watch network shows. This plan costs $11.99 per month.
Hulu + Live TV: This plan operates like cable, offering you everything offered in the Hulu channels list above. There is no delay on content as the live version operates just like cable, albeit with no contract.
This plan costs $54.99 per month, and the best of the packages if you want a total replacement to cable.
Regardless of the plan you choose you receive access to all of their original content. It’s also possible to move between plans at your choosing.
Can I watch on two devices at the same time?
Yes and no. When you create an account you set your home location. That is the only location you can watch on a TV.
You can watch on mobile devices in different locations, but you’re unable to watch on a TV in two separate locations. With a Live subscription you can watch on two devices at once, but that does not apply to on-demand content.
Summary
If you’re wondering what channels are on Hulu, the platform has plenty to offer. Having tried the service ourselves many times, we can say from firsthand experience that it’s the most expansive and offers the closest experience to cable on the market.
*Related: Want to cut the cord but don’t know which platform to pick? Check out our Hulu or Netflix guide to see which platform is best.*
One of the best features is the amount of on-demand content you get with a subscription. Not only can you watch first run episodes of your favorite shows when they air, you can catch up on all the past episodes easily.
Finally, it’s also fun and easy to discover new shows. We did that recently with DuckTales, and found a new family favorite to enjoy.
To wrap it up, here are our highlights of the streaming service:
- 65+ channels of live TV
- Local channels included
- ESPN, FS1 and many more sports channels included
- CNN, HGTV, A&E, USA and more popular networks included
- 50 hours of cloud DVR
- Stream on two screens
- Works with all popular devices including Roku, Chromecast, Android, Apple TV, and Fire TV
- Ability to add on HBO and other premium channels seamlessly
If you’re looking for an affordable cord cutting solution but still want to be able to watch ESPN without cable and plenty of other popular content from local and major networks, give the platform a try.
As is the case with all the popular streaming services, Hulu Live offers a 7-day free trial to test drive their content experience for yourself.
What other questions do you have about the available channels? What channel(s) have you had a hard time finding access to on streaming services? Is cable worth the $110 average price tag?

Im planning on cancelling my verizon. I would love to know if NESN is included in the local catagory listed. no bruins/no red sox/no deal. any info out there would be greatly apreciated.
thanks
frank
Unfortunately they don’t Francis. FuboTV is a good option to get NESN.
Whats about WGN? Not in the menue any more?
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
Do you know of an alternate tv service that does have WGN?
AT&T TV Now is the only option we know of that carries WGN.
I’m looking for TvOne and Bounce tv
I’ll refer you back to similar questions – if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
Is Hallmark Channel or UPTV available with Hulu Live?
I’ll refer you to our answer to Sal on the same exact question.
Are you able to get the hallmark channel?
Heather, I’ll refer you to my response to Sal about the same issue. 🙂
can u get the Hallmark channel?
Please see the above response. 🙂
Are you planning to add Hallmark to the list since there’s quite a bit of us that do want homework?
Please see the multiple questions about the exact same issue. While we appreciate that you think we have the power to add channels, we don’t.
Will the major sports networks be added MLB,NHL,NFL also Reelz network.
I’m not certain of that unfortunately Bob.
Do I need to buy an indoor antenna to get Hulu?
Nope, all you need is a smart-TV to get Hulu. You can even access it on a computer or smartphone.
But how do you know if you have a”smart tv”. Both of my current tv’s were gifts. So I’m not sure
It depends on when the TV was made and if the TVs have apps installed on them. If it’s old and doesn’t have any installed apps then it’s highly like it’s not a smart TV.
But if you have an older TV, you can still get Hulu Live if you stream thru a Roku box though right? Just checking because mine is not a smart TV.
Just depends on the TV, as I had mentioned to Susan, and if you can connect it to the set.
Is the Golf Channel and European Soccer League available thru HULU?
Nope, neither are offered by Hulu unfortunately. The list included in the post has all the channels they offer. 🙂
Do they ever plan to roll-out a REAL TV guide? Only being able to see what’s playing next is a complete and utter disaster for some of us trying to convince spouse to drop satellite.
I don’t know about that Andrew. I know that most streaming platforms fall short in that area unfortunately. However, it should also be pointed that savings of at least $50+ per month are worth it to sacrifice a guide.
How many devices can be watch at one time without adding the unlimited feature for $15
You can watch two devices at once on Hulu under their standard plan.
Does that mean two tvs watching two different shows?
Yep, that’s exactly what it means. 🙂
Can the two streams be in separate zip codes?
Yes, you can. The one thing to keep in mind though is you can only access via TV in your home location. The other will need to be via a mobile device.
Can you watch walking dead with hulu live?
Unfortunately not. You’ll need Philo TV or Sling TV to get AMC.
Is there any possibility that you will offer the Hallmark channels?
That would be up to Hulu, so I’m not certain. Philo TV is a great option to get the Hallmark channels.
I learned the other day that Hallmark has their own streaming service, supposedly commercial-free for $5.99 per month. I need to research more however.Seems Hallmark offerings are in short supply among vendors.
Yes, that is correct. We discuss that in our guide on how to watch Hallmark channel without cable.
I tried the Hallmark streaming service but it is nowhere near the same as what is available on my cable channel. It is more like an archive of older movies and series. I wanted it to catch up on a series that was in season four and all that was offered was season one. Also, I wanted those corny holiday movies and maybe 2 newer ones were playing and the rest were much older. Additionally, there weren’t very many of them. That was back in January, I don’t know if it has changed since then, but they do offer a free trial period.
Good to know, thanks for sharing Jenni. Unfortunately that’s not very surprising.
How do you go about getting Hulu? I have in past year left Time Warner, and now Dish for dropping channels, my sports channels are very important to me, what are the chances I will have same problem with Hulu Live?
Getting Hulu Live is simple. Just click on the link in the post and you can have an account within five minutes. They’re a great alternative for those losing channels.
Can you take Hulu with you on vacation or a summer home?
You can access Hulu Live on your home TV. But, you can access it anywhere on any type of mobile device.
Only on mobile devices, if you are using a Smart TV or device such as a Fire Stick or Roku, you can’t watch Hulu Live outside of the WiFi (or wired) network you set it up on.
That’s actually incorrect. I’ve accessed Hulu Live a number of times on my phone when not on Wi-fi, or anywhere near where I live.
Is it better to use a firestick or roku for hulu???
It doesn’t matter, both should work just fine.
Can you get BTN on Hulu?
Yep, it’s right there in our list. 🙂
What about Chicago sports (Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks)? What NFL games can you watch and NCAA games?
That would depend on the channels they’re carried on. If you see them in the list you’ll be good. Here’s our guides on how to watch NFL games without cable and how to watch college football without cable.
Suggestion~
Add-on
Of NFL Network!!!!
If we were Hulu then we’d happily do that. Alas, we’re not Hulu. 🙂
Can I get Fox Sports North in Waterloo, Iowa?
I have no idea, unfortunately. That’s depends on Fox Sports, not Hulu.
So hulu does not have MTV or vh1?
Nope, if it’s not in the list in the post they don’t carry it. 🙂 You’ll want to look at FuboTV for those channels.
Or Philo
Yep, Philo is a good option too.
If im getting hulu for free with dprint, do you get a discount on live
I don’t believe so Sandy. It only appears to be on their legacy plans.
I’m in SoCal, can I get KTLA5 on Hulu?
You should be able to as Hulu offers local channels. 🙂
Can you binge all seasons on provided list of channels on hulu live? Animal Kingdom to be exact
Great question Doty! Yes, you can binge all seasons of any available shows on Hulu Live.
I already have Hulu Plus, with that go away with the Live subscription. Also, does it affect the cost?
Nope, it’s an upgrade to it so you still get all the features of the on-demand, plus live TV. Your price would move up to $44.99 by making the move.
Is that $44.99 total or $11.99 plus for a total of = $56.98?
Good question Sally. It’s an all-inclusive price so they don’t charge you for both options if that make sense. If you go with Live, you get all of the benefits of the lower non-live version thrown in at no extra cost.
I have signed up for free trial & cannot find NBA channel. Evidently not available on any pkg?
That’s correct, it’s not offered unfortunately. If you want NBA TV, you’ll want to use Sling TV.
Does Hulu live offer Paramount channel, don’t see it on list at all.
Nope, if it’s not on the list they don’t offer it. 🙂
LOL aren’t you getting sick of answering that if it’s not on the list it’s not offered? Good grief get with it people.
Ha ha, reading IS difficult for some.
would i be able to see Mayans on FX. I tried fubo and couldn’t get Mayans. I would also like to see all the episodes of Mayans
Yep, FX is a channel available on Hulu so you shouldn’t have an issue at all.
I wrote a very large comment telling you how much I love Hulu and what a great job you did explaining everything about Hulu live. I also had to laugh about how many people asked about a channel and you would repeat each time, no if it’s not on the list. Well, I hope you got my lost comment. Thanks for all the great info.
Sorry for the lost comment Cecilia. Lol, yes, reading isn’t always easy. 😉
you are very informative. I believe I am going to change to Hulu and see how it performs. Thank you so much. Oh, I couldn’t care less about the Hallmark channel.😂
Glad to be of help. Ha ha, reading is difficult sometimes. 🙂
Omg. Thank you soooo much. I’m an oldie (but goodie) and struggle with anything new initially. You’ve answered all of my questions! I just signed up😘
Of course, happy to help!
How often do new channels get added to the lineup?
Good question Laura! We’ve personally used them on and off for the past year and they’ve not added anything major so it’s tough to say.
Any chance there is a discounted price if we pay for a full year subscription up front?
As of right now, no. But, that’s up to Hulu. 🙂
I don’t see any options for the Hallmark channel. An you add it separate or is just not available
Hulu does not offer Hallmark Channel. You can check out our post on how to watch Hallmark channel without cable for the streamers that provide it.
Can we get Nickelodeon?
Nope, if it’s not on the list of above channels Hulu Live does not offer it. 🙂 You can check out our guide on how to watch Nickelodeon without cable to find the best options.
How do you tape future airings without a guide?
Good question Tony! When you search for a show/see it in their limited guide it gives you the option to tape new episodes.
Can I get fox Midwest channel for st.louis cardinals games.
That would depend on where you live and if Fox Midwest is available in your area.
I currently have Hulu w/o commercials. Is there an option for Hulu live w/o commercials?
Unfortunately there isn’t Lisa. Hulu Live operates just like any other cable platform so there are commercials.
Hi, is MLB network a Premium channel add-on for Hulu?
All of the channel options are listed in the post, so unfortunately not.
Can I sign on to Hulu Live at my primary house in Pa and also use it at a vacation home in New Jersey when I am not in Pa. Or am I restricted to one location, even though I would not be simultaneously signing on in Pa and New Jersey?
Yep, you can do that! Hulu allows you to sign into two devices at once so you’d be fine.
I like Hulu, but when or are you going to get AMC added to your line up? I really miss The Walking dead and all the new shows they are adding. Then you would be perfect!
We appreciate that you think that WE are Hulu…sadly, we’re not. 🙂
Getting ready to cut the cord, so with HULU, can I watch the following networks: E, HGTV, Food Network, USA and TLC channels? And do I have to have a cable or tv provider to watch any of these? Thank you.
Yep, if the channel is listed then Hulu Live offers it. And, nope, Hulu Live is the provider. 🙂
Do you need internet service for HULU?
Yep, you need internet service for any streaming provider.
Will you please add the Paramount Network to HULU?
We love that you think that WE are Hulu. Sadly, we’re not so we have no power to add any channels. 🙂
Thanks for the great info! Can I fast forward commercials when watching a Cloud DVR recording, and how long do the episodes remain in the cloud before watching? Thanks!
Of course, happy to help. You can’t fast-forward unfortunately. You’d need to upgrade to their expanded DVR offering which costs $15 per month. It doesn’t have an expiration date as it goes solely off of the space in your DVR.
How do I watch it on more than two TVs?
You would need to add their unlimited screens add-on, which is $15 per month. It allows you to watch on up to five screens, or three devices.
I did not see PBS channel. Is that available on Hulu? Everything else sounds great.
As of right now, PBS is not available on Hulu Live. It’s actually an issue with PBS and not the streaming provider as they’ve not made it possible for streaming providers to air their content. That said, you can get PBS with any digital antenna. 🙂
Is TBN and WORD available on Hulu?
Nope, if it’s not on the list of channels they don’t offer it. 🙂
Does Hulu Live include the Paramount Network?
Nope, if it’s not listed specifically in the list within the post then they don’t offer the channel. 🙂
So if you buy the upgrade to watch tv on more than 2 devices at a time, how many total devices can you watch Hulu on? I have a large family . Thx
The Hulu Live unlimited screens add-on lets you watch on up to five screens.
Are the shows in real time? For instance would I be able to watch the new season of American Horror Story the same night it is on cable tv?
Yep, they’re aired the same time as on cable. That has nothing to do with the service, it’s the channel. 🙂
Can I get a music channel on hula live
Is there a philipino Chanel available
Nope, if it’s not listed in the post it’s not available.
Can I get the ION channel on Hulu?
Nope, if you don’t see it in the list of channels they don’t offer it.
this might be the answer to cutting cable for me: question i have 2 tv’s; on one i have my Blue ray player which allows me to get Netflix, Amazon, HULU etc. my other tv does not have a Blue Ray and isn’t a ‘smart’ tv. would i still be able to access HULU LIve on the TV with out the Blue Ray player? I currently have HULU basic account ( paused for summer, not home alot) and can’t get on the other TV but didn’t know if HULU Live would allow
Good question Beverly. You’d need something to access it on the non-smart TV. If it has an HDMI input you can use a Roku or Fire Stick to essentially convert it.
How will all this streaming effect my inter net provider connection. up loading and down loading specifically. Does it require more band width and band space requiring more costs for the internet service?
That depends on the streaming service you use, but for Hulu they recommend at least 6 Mbps for standard Hulu and 8 Mbps for Hulu Live. You may need more if you’re on multiple devices. 🙂
Couldn’t find Weather Channel on any list? Id this offered our no?
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu offers.
Tv is TCL ROKU which is not a standard remote. After I drop Direct TV, what kind of remote should I get? Also have a Samsung smart tv.
Will I be able to watch HULU TV on
both?
I’m not certain on the remote, unfortunately. The Roku remote very well could work as I know our Fire Stick remote works with it. Yep, you’ll be good. 🙂
Are ABC, NBC, FOX and CBS all live broadcasts and not on demand with Hulu Live TV basic package? Can I record shows on all them and watch it a few hours later? How many shows can you record simultaneously?
Yep, they’re live. The DVR works just like any other DVR. 🙂
Is re-watching shows only available through the DVR service? Is there an “on demand” option to watch previously aired shows any time after their air date?
No, you can access any shows they offer after they air – 24 hours after. Assuming it’s a show they offer, you don’t need the DVR service.
Does Hulu live offer NFL network?
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not an offering. You will want Sling for that.
Does Hulu have Paramount or Hallmark channels
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
Are QVC, HSN, and EVINE shopping channels available?
Nope, if it’s not listed then they’re not channels Hulu Live offers
Ha, unlike most people on here, I actually read the list 🙂 Investigation Discovery is listed which is “the ID Channel”. Also Sling TV blue and orange have it.
Ha ha, yes, reading can be hard sometimes. 🙂
Do you have MT or WE
Nope, if it’s not listed then they’re not channels Hulu Live offers
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
Can I get Fox Sports Ohio?
Yep, it’s listed right there in the channel guide. 🙂
My Vizio TV has a Hulu app (as well as Netflix, Fox News, etc.); however, I cannot access the full web from the tv. Can I access Hulu Live from the Hulu app?
If it’s a Smartcast TV, then you should be able to. If it’s not, you’ll only be able to access classic Hulu.
I watch the big 12 conference specifically OK State on fox and ESPN alternate channels and on dish networks sports can I get those games on HULU live
Yep, assuming you live in the area covered by Fox Sports Midwest you’ll be just fine. I’m a K-State alum in Omaha and get all our games through Hulu Live.
Does Hulu carry fox Sports Southwest? We live in Texas and are Rangers fans. I see posts about Hulu carrying Fox regional sports channels but they are not listed on any of Hulu’s channel listings. What gives? Does Hulu carry fox Sorts Southwest (and other regional channels) or not?
Yep, it’s listed right in the post. 🙂 When a carrier offers FS1 & FS2 you typically always receive their regional network local to your area. You can verify which one that is on the Hulu site.
Is Hulu going to carry the acc network??
Yes, it does appear they have struck a deal with Hulu Live to carry the ACC Network.
Do I need something like a Roku to interface Hulu and my tv, or does Hulu operate without anything else on a smart tv. I have TDS Internet.
It depends on the TV. If it’s a Smartcast Vizio, for example, you can use the app from the TV. Others will require something like Roku or the Fire TV to access Hulu Live.
Hello, I have Spectrum but they keep bumping up the cost of the package. I guess I will need their internet if I want to cut the cord. That will cost me about $71. I need CNBC and I want Tennis Channel, and maybe some movie channels would be nice, like TCM, FXM, TNT. Can you suggest a streaming service that would be the best budget compromise for me?
Hulu Live is going to be your best option. They offer all the channels but the Tennis Channel. Sling carries Tennis Channel in their “Sports” package upgrade for $10 per month, but you give up some of the other channels you want.
There is only One Show I’d like to see on the Travel Channel. Do you know if the Travel channel is offered in the most basic(cheap) Hulu package?
They do offer some limited shows, but it’s possible it won’t be current and may be limited, plus not all episodes. Hulu Live is the only way to ensure you will get everything they offer.
i have found Hulu live to be the best,BUT, they surely could improve the show menu to more than “what’s on next” On you PC you scan scroll across for programs in the future….this is IMHO the MAJOR drawback to Hulu live.
I wouldn’t classify it as a major drawback, but it can certainly be improved upon for sure. No streaming service I’ve tried has a great guide feature, unfortunately. When I can find what I want with a simple Google search, I’m fine dealing with the imperfection to reap the savings.
If I do the upgrade with the cloud DVR, Can I watch let’s say a show on CBS and record a different show from ABC at the same time. And is there a limit of how many shows I can record at the same time (as long as I don’t go over the 50 hours) 🙃
Yep, that’s not a problem at all. There isn’t a limit to the number of shows, just the time.
I’ve read the list of channels offered, so I won’t ask about that. However, will Hulu be expanding to other channels, or is this pretty much it? Whatever your answer, it’s still better than the multitude of religious, shopping, and Spanish stations I’m paying for on Dish.
That’s tough to say. I’d say their channel offerings are very competitive, but not certain if they’ll add more. I do know they’re one of the new partners for the ACC Network. Rumor also has it they’ll be offering Disney+ as a paid add-on once the service launches, but not certain beyond that.
Does it include PBS including Create etc
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel they offer. You will need a digital antenna to get PBS, regardless of the streaming provider you choose.
Is the Hallmark channel on the lmn channel
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
Hulu TV does not offer the Pac 12 Network. That’s the one channel missing that keeps me from this…..
Yea, Sling TV and fuboTV offer the Pac-12 Network, but they’re inferior to Hulu in our opinion. Have you thought of just going with the Pac-12 Now app as an alternative?
What about Paramount Network? Worth it for Yellowstone
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
Can we receive KQED San Francisco channel 9 with Hulu Live
If that’s a local channel, then yes, it’s likely you will.
Is it possible to get the MSG network?
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
I’m in metro Detroit, would I get cbc? It’s a Canadien channel but it comes in with the cable and local channels here. With the digital antennae, it has to be placed just right to get it.
Hulu doesn’t list it on their site, so I’d imagine it’s not a channel they offer. Not living there myself it’s hard to say.
Will I be able to get LIVE Dallas cowboys football with Hilu live? My neighbors with cable got the first preseason game last week and HULU did not air it on Fox, NBC or CBS, the Cowboys usual networks. I want it LIVE, not days or hours later.
That’s because the Cowboys preseason game was on the NFL Network, which is not a channel they carry. I’d encourage you to read our guide on how to watch NFL games without cable.
Can the tennis channel be added?
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
I am constantly having buffering problems with Hulu Live. I get errors and it’s as though I can never watch a program straight through without a problem. It also says I have wifi connection, but my internet is poor? When I call my internet provider, their doesn’t seem to be a problem on their end. Any suggestions? I use a Roku and I don’t have a smart TV.
TY!
Sorry to hear that Carrie. Have you tried accessing the platform via a computer in your home to see if you experience the same issues? If not, I’d start there to try and narrow down the problem. Also, how fast is your internet & how close is your TV the router?
Would it work with a vizio smart tv? Also do you get shows and movies provided on hulu as well? How many screens do you get with the $44.99 if you dont want to pay for unlimited screens
We’ve covered all of those in previous comments. 🙂 I’ll list answers below:
-depends on the TV
-Yes, you get everything they offer
-Two screens
You can read more in our guide on how many people can watch Hulu at once for more details.
I apologize if this question has been answered already but is NASCAR shown on any of those networks listed?
Nascar does not have a devoted streaming option yet. But, most races are on Fox or NBC, so Hulu Live would be your best bet.
Do you know how to upgrade the Hulu app to the latest version? We tried the free Hulu last year but now we have purchased Hulu Live TV but we seem to still have the old app on the one TV. It never asked to enter a code so we only have the generic free stuff.
My best suggestion is to delete the app and reinstall it. They don’t offer a free version, so I’m not certain what you’re referencing.
How does this work for multiple TVs within my house? Do I need a subscription for each TV if they are being washed at the same time?
Nope. No streaming service works that way.
How many shows can be DVRed at the same time?
Hulu manages it based on hours, 50 total, not shows you can record at the same time.
I would love to cut satellite but presently HULU doesn’t offer enough good channels you can get with satellite. HULU needs to step up their game and add some more channels that adults want not more channels for kids like Disney. “Bad”! If HULU adds more channels to their live tv lineup, I would be willing to pay more than the 44.95/mo. charge.
To each their own Christa, but we would put Hulu Live up against any option on the market. Are they perfect? No, but other than Sling TV or Philo you’re hard pressed to find a cheaper option.
Also, they only have four channels geared specifically for kids. I’d beg to differ 4 out of 60+ is bad….
Can I use a Xbox gaming system to watch hulu like I do.Netflix on one of the t.v.’s
Yes, according to their site you can watch Hulu on a Xbox system.
I’ve heard you can watch the show you’re currently watching while scrolling through the channel guide at the same time. I can’t seem to do this. Was I misinformed?
That’s how it should work, at least it does on our TV. The guide overlays the show, so you still hear it and see the content.
I need Hallmark. Is it offered
I’ll refer you to our responses to that at the top of the comments section. 🙂
Hi. Are you going to be adding AMC to your channel line up? I truly hope so. 🙂
If we were Hulu then we’d happily do that. Alas, we’re not Hulu. 🙂
Are there options to watch the Yankees on the “YES” network?
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
Any chance of getting the Weather Channel on HULU Live ?
We’ve responded to that question multiple times, but if it’s not listed it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
No BET, TVone, or OWN. I and many of my friends spend the extra money on cable just to receive them . Why not even one of them ?
If we were Hulu then we could answer that question. But, alas, we’re not Hulu. 🙂 You can read our guide on how to watch OWN without cable to help with that question.
HULU is coming out with a 14 day guide, but at this time it is not available on all devices and I think markets. You can also go t a local live stain and click on menu logo and it will show the lineup..
Yep, Hulu Live just launched their 14-day guide on many devices this week. It’s a welcome addition to the platform.
If I miss a tv show live and do not save it to the cloud, how long until I can watch it on hulu as part of its regular content?
It depends on the show, but many have multiple seasons available so it shouldn’t be much of an issue.
do you have to have a fire stick or roku or sling tv to get HULU? new to cutting the cable option and trying to find the best fit.
A Fire stick or Roku is not required in certain circumstances, such as if your TV already has the app available. You can also access Hulu via phone or computer, so that’s also an option.
Can u purchase MLB Extra Innings, NFL Sunday Ticket and NBA League Pass?
None of those have ties to Hulu. You can purchase MLB/NBA as a standalone service, while Sunday Ticket is proprietary to DirecTV.
Explain what is a standalone service for MLB/NBA.
No explanation is necessary. You named what the services are in your original question. They’re not attached to any streaming service and must buy them on your own.
I live in Dallas and have a ranch in Louisiana. Can I subscribe to HuluTV in Dallas and watch CBS NBC ABC in Louisiana and the programs are the Dallas affiliate stations?
You can only watch via a TV in one location, your home one. You can watch away from home, but it can only be done via mobile devices.
Looking for the abc channel, it’s listed on the website.
Yep, it’s literally at the top of the list in the post. So, yes, Hulu Live offers ABC and all other locals. 🙂
I am over eighty so i am not that attuned like other younger people would be, but i have three tv’ s, my main one is not a smart one, one other one is smart but the third is not. I would love to eliminate cable tv’s strangle hold on our purses. I have cable on all. I would be interested in Live Hulu but do not how to go about it. Will Hulu be on all tv.s for forty five or so dollars?
Yes, that is correct Gus. Just open an account through the link in the post and you can start a free trial.
Being i have cable on all my tvs, if i start a free trial on Hulu, how would i know what channels are coming thru Hulu if i already have cable.
Because it’s a completely separate platform from cable. Once you log in to your Hulu account on your TV you can only access content from it. They don’t talk to each other.
So if not happy with Hulu will i get my cable back with no problem.
It’s impossible to answer that, unfortunately, as we don’t know who your cable/satellite provider is and how they operate.
Can you get ifc channel and paramount with hulu
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
I’m in Green Bay Wisconsin. The regional Fox Sports carried Milw Brewers and Bucks which I watch regularly on Spectrum cable. Is Fox Sports Wisconsin available on Hulu??
I can get it with Youtube TV,… But I’d prefer to use Hulu. Thx,,.. tc
Yep, Hulu Live carries your local regional Fox Sports channel.
Does hulu carry the lifetime movies?
Nope, if it’s not listed then it’s not a channel Hulu Live offers.
Is there a way to change the channel lineup in the guide to put it in the order of channels of most watched?
Not to my knowledge, unfortunately.
So the 50 hours of dvr, when you use it is it done or is that per month? I dvr a show, watch it and delete it, are those hours gone or come back?
Nope, once you delete a recording on the Hulu dvr, you instantly get that time back.
