Hulu Live TV app launches on App Store
Hulu’s long-expected live TV service has gone official with today’s launch of the Hulu Live TV app on App Store. Designed for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV, the software lets subscribers access the entire Hulu streaming library and more than 50 top live and on-demand channels, including FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, ESPN, FX, NBCSN, FS1, History Channel and TNT.
In addition, live sports from top pro and college leagues, as well as regional sports networks, are available in certain areas. As a bonus, you’ll get to stream national news with local feeds in select cities, popular kids shows, can’t-miss events and thousands of popular on-demand shows and movies from many of these channels.
As soon as you launch the app, you’re greeted with all-new onboarding experience.
Firstly, you’re asked to log in with your Hulu subscription credentials. The app cannot be used unless you’re a subscriber. The setup procedure then takes you on a quick tour of the app’s main features such as your personal live TV lineup, a My Stuff section and more.
Next, you can optionally tell the app about the kinds of shows you prefer to help the system find the best shows and movies that are relevant to your personal profile. Finally, you can add your favorite shows and movies to the My Stuff section, or skip this step and set up these items at a later stage.
The app lets you create up to six personalized profiles so everyone in your household gets to enjoy their own personalized Hulu experience with their own collection of shows, movies, networks and more. Like with other services, the more you watch, the smarter the system gets.
You can browse Hulu’s library while you watch with a Fliptray feature that lets you quickly find what else is on, change the channel, or get recommendations of what to watch next. Just tap the Fliptray button during playback to get started with this multitasking capability.
Lastly, Hulu Live TV includes advanced features like Cloud DVR, which lets you record live TV to watch your favorites on your own time, the ability to watch concurrent streams on multiple devices, as well as track and record games from your favorite teams with a My Teams feature.
At the time of this writing, the app wouldn’t stream any live content as Hulu is yet to formally announce availability of the app and the live-streaming service. Exact pricing for the live TV service is unknown at the moment, but rumors have suggested it could be priced at about $40 per month, with features like Cloud DVR requiring a $20 add-on.
The app supports iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iOS 10.0 or later and the fourth-generation Apple TV.
