Ask SI about Hulu

Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Hulu combines original series, licensed television and films, with a separate Hulu + Live TV subscription.

Choose the on-demand library or Hulu + Live TV before comparing bundles. Live TV needs a residential, non-mobile Home internet connection set within 30 days. Hotspots and shared office or dorm Wi-Fi do not qualify. Television devices stay on that Home network; travelling mobile devices must check in there every 30 days.

Hulu requires a US household and US-issued payment. Its on-demand plans include Puerto Rico and qualifying military-base internet, while Live TV excludes territories, bases and international viewing. On-demand plans do not require the Live TV Home setup. Check the plan and channel for the location where you will watch.

Watch out for

US household and payment requirements apply; Live TV has narrower territorial rules than on-demand.
Live TV requires a qualifying residential Home network and mobile check-ins every30days.
