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.....
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:
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.
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.
I pay $20 a month for 20MB,
I pay $55 for 100MB fiber.
You aren't getting ESPN on a 15 dollar tv package unless it's promotional / temporary.
You are correct. I am not. Is that the value that Hulu is adding in this equation?
I wish they would let you swap out channels you don't want, namely all the sports ones I would never use..
Sling TV would probably work better than, they have a package without ESPN and the like :)
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.
I really wish FiOS was available in my area, I would switch instantly for the internet D/U alone.
