It's a $1 price hike for standard and ad-free, bundles and live TV remain the same Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, streaming television services gotta get more expensive. So it goes with Hulu, the latest cord-cutting library of movies, TV shows, and original productions to get a little bit more expensive, and hope you won't notice.

"Most" in this case means everyone subscribing to the ad-supported and ad-free tiers of Hulu. Read More Your Hulu plan is about to get more ..read more

Android TV: "Am I a joke to you?" Listen up, streaming nerds: if you really want to make the best out of your low-cost, cord-cutting entertainment setup, you'll need to pour at least ten grand into an awesome home theater setup. Which won't help at all if your streaming service of choice doesn't actually support all of that eye-melting hi-fi tech. So what took y'all so long, Hulu? Whatever. It took a while, but Hulu now supports high dynamic range for more vivid color presentation, on top of 4K resolution and surround sound that were already supported.

New widgets? What is this, 2013? Look, watching a never-ending stream of television episodes probably isn't great for you.

You have to meet with consumers on their level, and in 2021, what do ordinary people love more than an overabundance of streaming services?

First signs seen on 2019 Nvidia Shield boxes Hulu streams 4K content to Apple TV, Fire TV, and Chromecast Ultra owners, but it has never raised the resolution cap beyond 720p for most with Android TV. Some reports, however, indicate that things may be taking a step up for the forlorn platform.

Last year's Black Friday deal returns With the launch of services like CBS All Access, Peacock, and Disney+, Hulu isn't quite the definitive place to watch every TV show you want anymore. However, it does still have a sizable catalog of stuff to watch from many different networks (plus a few decent exclusive movies/shows), and now you can enjoy all of it for $2/mo with Hulu's Black Friday offer.

Hulu Live TV is now just as expensive as YouTube TV To quote Batman, "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." That certainly applies to TV streaming services, which all started as cheaper alternatives to cable, but later became just as expensive as cable with the rising costs of bundling channels.

Starting December 18th, the 'Hulu + Live TV' subscription by Hulu will increase in cost from $54.99/mo to $64.99/mo, and the option for ad-free Hulu str ..read more
