What device are you using to watch Hulu? I'm going to guess a Roku? Not totally sure, but I don't think this feature has been ported to the Roku yet. I know they did not support Roku when it was released in May.

You are correct. It doesn't work on my computer or my Roku. Just my Android phone.
I didn't read the fine print.
We just added live tv to Hulu and we can only get it on our phones and tablets but not on our tv. We have smart tvs and we also have roku. It does say on Hulu's website that they will be adding it to tv's soon (?). We had sling then cancelled it. We are going to try Hulu Live for 30 days to see how we like it.

Sling TV is $40 for both Blue and Orange so you get ESPN as well as entertainment channels. Then you have to pay an extra $5 for DVR service. You are limited to 3 simultaneous stream.
Hulu TV is $40 for a full range of stations (somewhat equivalent to Blue and Orange together for Sling) and that includes a DVR service for 50 hours. For an extra $4 you get the video library commercial free. But you are limited to 2 simultaneous stream.
Hulu also gives you more access to broadcast TV, so you don't need an antenna, or if you live in a place with no antenna service then it is important.
Hulu seems like the better package for the same money unless you need more than 2 streams. Then it is an additional $15.
But for right now the serious lack of options as to where you can watch Hulu makes it a no-go for me. I suppose you could purchase Android streaming devices for all your TVs.
Hulu is considered to be in beta testing at this stage, so you can't complain too much. I think the best solution is stick with Sling for a few months and see what Hulu looks like on more devices.

I agree with you on most points here. We just dont watch a lot of tv but there are some shows I dont mind watching occasionally. I have Roku on my tvs and I also have amazon prime and netflix. But Hulu TV lets hubby listen to it on his tablet (for now) while hes doing other things. Thats the only show he really watches most of the time. It would be better to see it on the tv or computer but Sling has let us down with streaming/buffering issues too. We are just testing the waters on different options and may go back to Sling if this doesnt work. Nice that we have that option.
I'm interested in the live TV on Hulu once it's all been ported to Roku/Fire stick. (BTW, if you have a Chromecast, you might be able to cast it to your TV.) We use an OTA antenna, but I have tested out SlingTV in the past. I've found Sling to let me down when it came to Monday Night Football on ESPN. That was the biggest reason for me going with Sling. I cancelled after the three months. I did try out the Playstation Vue, and that looks promising, but again, at the time, I couldn't get local live TV during an NFL game.
For me, it really comes down to being able to watch my favorite NFL team, college football, and college basketball. It's so easy to get on demand with the TV shows we like to watch, so that's not an issue. For me, all comes down to watching my sports. We were paying over $120/month for DirecTV. Not doing that anymore.

Since most games are on local stations, we got an OTA antenna and now can watch almost any game thats playing in our area, including ESPN.
