Hulu Plus lets you watch online TV on your smartphone. Standard Hulu will nevertheless be free, but a Hulu Plus subscription streams Hulu content to iPads, iPhones, and Samsung HDTVs and Blu-ray players. To get in line for the Hulu Plus preview subscription, you are able to ask for an invitation at hulu.com..
Hulu Plus doesn’t replace Hulu
On its site, the company said “Hulu Plus is not a replacement for Hulu — it’s something new”. Mobile phones or Internet-connected devices like video game consoles, Blu-ray players or even certain HDTVs aren’t presently supported by Hulu. But PC World reports that Hulu Plus will work with PCs and Macs; via an app for Apple’s iPad, iPhone (3GS and 4), and iPod Touch (third-generation) platforms; and via the Samsung Apps platform on 2010 Samsung connected devices (including Blu-ray players, Blu-ray Home Theater systems, and TVs.
Broader content offerings on Hulu Plus
The handful of episodes from a show that you can watch on standard Hulu—before they’re pulled—will still be free. But CNN reports that Hulu Plus lets you view the entire current season’s episodes of Fox, ABC and NBC shows with the $ 10 subscription. It will even show all of the past seasons of numerous hit shows like the “X Files,” “The Office” and “Grey’s Anatomy”.
The Hulu Plus Netflix streaming comparison
Whether or not Hulu Plus can be able to compete with Netflix streaming is the question asked by Rick Broida at CNET. He points out that Netflix already has an app on the iPad and could have an app soon for the iPhone. For $ 9 a month, you are able to get Netflix DVDs in the mail, plus unlimited streaming. A comprehensive TV catalog is offered by Netflix, along with a much deeper movie selection. The only real edge with Hulu Plus, according to Broida, is access to the latest episodes of current shows. An entire season of a show has to run its course to be available on Netflix a few months later.
