Hulu has started increasing its offering with a wide variety of originals, classic shows, and even Live TV. They have several anime options as well, which are fast making Hulu a worthy contender in the competitive market of online streaming services. Disney’s recent investment in Hulu is set to change the way the service operates. With this, Hulu is sure to become a bigger player in the market. Hulu has several options for everyone and has a very simple interface that is easy to use across all platforms, be it the Android app or the Xbox One.

Features and plans
There are several options open for Hulu subscribers.

The $11.99 plan is a shade better as it does not have any ads, although a slight disclaimer might put you off because there are ads before or after the program.

The flagship $39.99 plan has the Live TV with its regular programming.

While the content on Hulu is varied and for all age groups, it has a rather poor record when it comes to HD and Ultra HD (UHD or 4K).

Hulu shows are best viewed on the big screen and are available on several platforms like Apple TV and Roku.. Amazon Fire Stick and Chromecast Ultra also work with Hulu so if you are planning a vacation, so that you can take shows with you on the road. There are Android and iOS apps as well that offer great compatibility. While there has not been an offline viewing option for a long time from Hulu, with a Wi-Fi connection or unlimited data plan, the online viewing experience is very fulfilling.

Offerings
Hulu is known for its TV shows and it offers content from a wide variety of networks. There could be a problem with the rise of network-specific content like CBS All Access. However, as of now, there is no issue.

While Amazon and Netflix have decided to use original programs to counter this problem, Hulu is still not quite there with its offerings. However, with the success of The Handmaid’s Tale and Marvel’s Runaways, this is slated to change. Another great feature is the Live TV service, wherein all local, regional, and national cable channels within your region become accessible. There is also 50 hours of cloud based DVR so you can watch shows later. There are also enhanced packages that cost more and allow up to 200 hours of cloud DVR and streaming on unlimited devices within your home.

Hulu also has better options for TV over the Internet, especially for current episodes which are made available a day after airing. You can try the Hulu TV free version for a month before settling for the service for good.
