Hulu's Live TV Service Launches To Save You From Your Cable Bill

Hulu's Live TV Service Launches To Save You From Your Cable Bill

It always felt like if Hulu ever launched a live-TV service, it might have a real shot at killing cable. After all, Hulu's owners-21st Century Fox, Disney, Comcast, and Time Warner-own and operate every channel that matters.

    No Roku or Amazon Streaming hardware support yet.....

    • alphyMay 04 at 9:00 AM

      Yeah, kind of surprising since Roku has a larger market share than some of the ones they are supporting at launch.

    Here's what I want:

    1. On demand (not on some schedule that is dictated by an obsolete channel+time slot model).
    2. Ad free.

    Nothing else is worth paying for.

    I can't really tell how this might save anyone money. Maybe my internet is just really expensive? Normal just-Internet 50/50 FiOS is like $70. And having cable is $+15. So $40 Hulu isn't a deal over just paying for cable.

    • GrundyMay 04 at 8:50 AM

      True, the only other thing is that you get charged a rental fee for any Modem/Router/Cable box you may be using. After those and taxes get added in, it could be cheaper. TWC/Spectrum has 60mbps for around $65, so pretty much the same, except for upload speed.

      • SaerynMay 04 at 6:11 PM

        I pay $20 a month for 20MB,

      • TryMay 04 at 6:51 PM

        I pay $55 for 100MB fiber.

      You aren't getting ESPN on a 15 dollar tv package unless it's promotional / temporary.

      • MagessMay 04 at 2:51 PM

        You are correct. I am not. Is that the value that Hulu is adding in this equation?

  • alphyMay 04 at 8:59 AM

    I wish they would let you swap out channels you don't want, namely all the sports ones I would never use..

    • GrundyMay 04 at 9:16 AM

      Sling TV would probably work better than, they have a package without ESPN and the like :)

    • MagessMay 04 at 9:33 AM

      Mine does, actually. FiOS has a Custom Cable where you can select two packages of channels you want. So I have no sports or news, but pretty well covered the genre and drama channels.

      • GrundyMay 04 at 9:37 AM

        I really wish FiOS was available in my area, I would switch instantly for the internet D/U alone.
