How to Set Up Hulu on My TV
Hulu, an over-the-top, or OTT, Internet TV service employs the slogan “Anywhere, Anytime,” to indicate the platform’s versatility. Hulu and Hulu Plus, the company’s subscription service, have a versatility that facilitates big-screen watching without any additional software, via a hardline connection from the computer to the TV. As of the date of publication, the company doesn’t offer a set-top box, but setting up Hulu on your TV is a straightforward process that requires minimal hardware.
