We switched from Direct TV to Hulu for cost reasons. It takes a bit to adapt to HULU functionality. Clicking around within the site is not smooth, they should work on that. There is what they call a dvr... it; s not. You can record programs but cannot easily start at the beginning... sometimes not at all... NEEDS to be better. We opted for no commercials ($6 per month) Most shows still have commercials... some (very few) have none and some requires and annoying clicking game to skip ads. Will likely drop this. If there is a better way ie dvr, commercials
Etc... it is not spelled out clearly in any way. I just got an email saying our service will increase $10 per month.
Will have to consider That!

We all really like Hulu and watch it almost every day. Good original shows and others. I do like the news programs a lot and a lot of the tv series. However, not much lately because we can't even find most shows since they switched the format. VERY difficult to use. NOT user friendly. I realize no new shows because of pandemic. BUT it would be nice to get some new things from old things that were shown from recent years. Tired of re watching series for the second or third times and most movies are too tiresome/boring/stupid to watch at all. It could be that we just can't find them with this format.

I love Hulu A lot! And people that are posting bad reviews are the same one that is not making any sense. And a funny thing happened to me using Hulu. One of my Favorite shows said "exp_" and I wasn't freaking out until I keep seeing it every day. So I searched " what does it mean when a show says expire next to it" and it said that means they are taking the showdown. I was so sad. And I didn't finish all the episodes but I really watch all the episodes as soon as I read the Hulu expire thing. And yesterday the "exp disappeared";-;

Why can't consumers get LIVE TV PLUS a Streaming service? You EITHER get a streaming service like Netflix or LIVE TV from a Comcast... it is NOT technologically difficult to merge the experiences
Hulu with LIVE TV is a HORRIBLE experience!
1 time a week I have to re-install the Apple TV Firmware to reset the out of sync audio/video on Hulu
There is NO time-based TV schedule like the last 40 years of cable TV. Boneheads at Hulu think their app is better at deciding for me what I want... guess what, your app is as damn boneheaded as the execs are!
Terrible user experience!
Comcast + Netflix is 1,000 times better than Hulu... even if it costs more

I have two issues with a Hulu that relate to their use of advertising. There are so many MANY ads. You have to sit through four ads before you can start watching. Then there are two breaks and at least one of them features three ads. The commercial breaks often disrupt a show - they definitely need to work on the way they cut to commercials so it's smoother.

The second issue is the volume of the ads is so much louder than the show I'm watching. I constantly have to mute the tv during ads because it's just blaring. When I turn the volume of ads down, I cannot fully hear the shows. Because of these issues I am dropping Hulu and getting Sling.

I switched of Hulu over ATTTV Now streaming service and regret switching over. Hulu does not offer any of the black channels like BET or OWN. I called to voice my concern asked to speak with a manager and was basically told there nothing they can do. I was looking for more... they could at the very least said there working on getting these channels but nothing. Customer service is a joke and the service is constantly buffering. Definitely do not recommend Hulu and the new update sucks as well.

There are so many new streaming video sites, like IPTV and about 10 others that cost next to nothing and offer a much-improved viewing experience. The loud commercials are gone and the $80. A month payment Do research and change

Started with Hulu (no ads) and was pleased. Added "live TV" and shows that previously didn't have ads now had ads. Most shows have ads with this bundle. I know, makes no sense. Their excuse is that "on demand" shows are added and these have ads. They directed me to a link of Hulu's lineup presumably without ads and the first show I clicked started with an ad. The bundle is a scam designed to trick you into watching as many ads as possible. DO NOT PURCHASE this bundle if you don't want ads.

Hulu was PERFECT. The shows are great, and they have a lot of great movies. It was until they decided to hit you with an 90 second ad every 5 minutes where my opinion completely changed. As soon as I finish the show I'm watching (too far into it to quit now), I'm done. It's beyond frustrating and not worth the $$$.
