  No, bullshit. It was like 3 shows due to old licensing. This is not a thing

    Idk why you’re trying to tell me bullshit to something I experienced for myself, but okay. I can tell you that it did happen and it pissed me off, and it was enough to make me never want to go back. Plus (I’m not sure if this is still the case) they wouldn’t let me fast-forward commercials on programs I had recorded from their live TV programs. Even though I had also paid the extra there to get no/fewer ads. Something like $80 a month at the time.

    So yeah, no bullshit. Sorry to disappoint you.

      I don’t know what the fuck you paid for, but it wasn’t the ad free service the rest of us got. They have a web page dedicated to explaining the few exceptions they had to ad-free. Live TV is a separate thing from normal Hulu. Are you confusing the two?

        Idk why you’re coming at me, dude. Does Hulu pay your bills or something? Like I said, I’m just describing my experience, idk why you’re being a confrontational ass about it.

    3 > 0

    Failure to provide a service sometimes is failure to provide a service.

      Oh my God. Grow up. No one here even watched those shows

        It’s crazy what people will tolerate just because it’s digital.

  No it doesn’t. At most it shows what channel produces the show you are watching and when to expect more episodes, and it takes less than 5 seconds

    Yes it does, or it did when I was subscribed. It was usually on reality type shows like HGTV or other similar things. I also hated that it wouldn’t let me skip ads on things I had recorded on live TV. They also have had shitty no-account sharing policies since before Netflix enraged everyone with their plan for that. I remember them not letting me watch from my account because I wasn’t at my set home address.

    Don’t know what to tell you. Their services were charging way too much to be limiting features like that, and I’m not going back. At least YouTube TV lets you skip ads in recorded programs.

  They used to do that for a handful of shows due to streaming contracts, but last time I checked (~2019) it was literally two shows. Is it more now?

    He’s confusing Hulu with Hulu TV

    To me, it seemed to be any show that also showed on live TV stations or something? I didn’t know the exact reasons, but it did seem to happen with things affiliated with certain TV stations. But the fact that they do/have done it at all is enough to turn me off.
