The all-new Hulu experience has officially launched on the App Store. Subscribers can enjoy all of Hulu's on-demand content in a redesigned iOS app. One of the main attractions is the addition of live streaming TV channels, which are available as an account add-on for a higher price. The service includes over 50 channels, along with 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage for recording live feeds.
The live package has been rumored for some time, and represents a big option to consider for cable cord cutters. Networks participating in the service include ABC, CBS, ESPN, FOX, FS1, FX, History, NBCSN, and TNT. Some news and pro sports feeds will be included along with coverage of special events and on demand content from the supported networks. Devices currently supported include the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, and Android devices, with more coming soon. Subscribers can watch on two screens at the same time.
