What is Hulu With Live TV?

Hulu With Live TV (R) is a subscription live TV and on-demand streaming service. The service fully controlled and majority-owned by Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International, a business segment of The Walt Disney Company, with NBCUniversal, owned by Comcast, as an equity stakeholder. This is a no-contract streaming service that delivers on-demand content and a live television streaming plan through an internet connection. It requires no professional installation, there are no extra fees, and you can cancel anytime.

Hulu has been a very popular choice for cord-cutters for several years now. As of October 3, 2020, Hulu With Live TV had amassed 4.1 million subscribers making it the most popular choice for cord-cutters. This streaming service is simple as it only offers one streaming plan. It has a variety of different channels, a smooth interface, and offers cloud DVR.

One giant negative for sports cord-cutters is that it no longer carries Fox Regional Sports Networks. This has been a disappointing trend for the entire industry as AT&T TV is now the only service to offer this network.

Overall we consider this a very solid yet middle of the road service. It doesn’t quite have the per-channel value as other services and you have to pay for upgraded DVR and unlimited simultaneous streams. It has a broad range of types of channels such as local, news, sports, and entertainment but does not offer any international programming aside from a weak Latino package. Also, it does it offer any skinny bundle of popular niche networks. The one giant positive is you can get decent price savings if you bundle this service with Disney+ and ESPN+.

Hulu Packages and Pricing

Hulu offers two different types of plans: On-demand and Live TV. The on-demand service is split into two plans, one with commercials and one with limited commercials. This can sometimes be confusing to many because the no commercials plan may still play commercials at the beginning or end of the video. All plans are monthly and contract-free.

Hulu’s on-demand service with commercials is an affordable $5.99/month. The “no commercials plan” is $11.99/month. Both plans offer the same content. Users get access to thousands of tv shows and movies on-demand primarily from The Walt Disney Company which also owns 21st Century FOX and ABC/ESPN. They also produce some original content such as The Handmaids Tale, which has won several awards including a Golden Globe and Emmy.

The live television service gives you access to over 65 channels of live-streaming. The plan costs $64.99/month. Hulu with Live TV also includes access to the Hulu Limited Commercials on-demand plan.

Also available are two different bundles. The first bundle is ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu for $13.99/month. The second bundle is Hulu With Live TV, Disney+, and ESPN+ for $71.99/month. Head over to the ESPN+ website to access this special offer.
