Hulu is a video streaming service that allows users to watch TV shows and movies online. It has a large library of content from various networks and partners. Hulu is supported on many devices including computers, streaming media players, tablets, smartphones, and smart TVs. The name Hulu comes from Mandarin Chinese words meaning "gourd holder" and "interactive recording," reflecting its mission to provide premium content to users on their terms.

3. The name Hulu comes from two Mandarin Chinese
words, húlú ( 葫芦 / 葫蘆 ), "calabash; bottle gourd",
and hùlù ( 互录 / 互錄 ), "interactive recording"

4. NameName
In Mandarin, Hulu has two interesting meanings, each
highly relevant to our mission. The primary meaning
interested us because it is used in an ancient Chinese
proverb that describes the Hulu as the holder of
precious things. It literally translates to "gourd," and in
ancient times, the Hulu was hollowed out and used to
hold precious things. The secondary meaning is
"interactive recording." We saw both definitions as
appropriate bookends and highly relevant to the
mission of Hulu

Network, Bravo, Fuel TV, FX, NFL Network, Speed, Big Ten Network,
Syfy, Style, Sundance, E!, G4, Versus, A&E, Oxygen and online
comedy sources such as Onion News Network. Hulu retains between
thirty and fifty percent of advertising revenue generated by the shows
it distributes.

In November 2009, Hulu also began to establish partnerships with
record labels to host music videos and concert performances on the
site, including EMI in November 2009,and Warner Music Group in
December 2009.

7. In early March 2010, Viacom announced that it was pulling two of the
website's most popular shows, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, off
Hulu. The programs had been airing on Hulu since late 2008. A spokesman
for Vivendi noted that "in the current economic model, there is not that
much in it for us to continue at this time. If they can get to the point where
the monetization model is better, then we may go back." In February 2011,
both shows were made available for streaming on Hulu again.

8. Hulu on TVHulu on TV

Since Hulu's inception, consumers have been able to watch Hulu on
their TVs by connecting a computer with a streaming capable video
controller to the TV via HDMI or other connection. Additionally, the
Hulu Plus service, fully launched in November 2010, allows first-party
access to Hulu from a variety of Blu-ray players, Internet-connected
televisions, iOS devices, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes.

In late June 2010, Hulu announced that a version of the service
would be available to the iTunes App Store for the iPad, iPhone and
iPod Touch running iOS version 4 or higher. Viewing the content on
Hulu, however, requires a subscription.

In November 2010, Orb Networks announced the Orb TV box, which
streams Hulu on the TV for free when used in conjunction with a
computer and a smartphone

9. Hulu Desktop (Windows, Mac, andHulu Desktop (Windows, Mac, and
Linux)Linux)
Hulu has released a beta version of Hulu
Desktop, a standalone program for watching
Hulu programming without a web browser. The
program uses a 10-foot user interface and is
designed to be compatible with existing
computer remote controls. It requires a Flash
player and runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac
OS X. Hulu Desktop cannot currently play all
content that the website can.

Hulu Plus, the monthly subscription package,
unlocks the iPad application that allows
streaming of some but not all Hulu content from
wi-fi and wireless data networks via a dedicated
iPad app. Hulu Plus is also available for the
Android platform.

unlocks the Android application that allows

wireless data networks via a dedicated app

available on the iOS platform.

12. Ease of UseEase of Use

One of the biggest highlights of using Hulu is just how simple and
effective the site design is. The creators of Hulu have made it
supremely easy to find what you want and play it the way you like.
The site has a very clean aesthetic, no background colors or images
to mar the pristine simplicity.

Hulu uses simple screenshots to represent videos and groups them
into columns. When you first visit the site, there is a large banner that
scrolls through simple advertisements for new videos. There are
updated lists of the most popular and the highest rated videos, so
you can keep up with what other people are watching. When you’re
looking for a specific show, you can search by name or you can also
look at an alphabetical list of all the shows in Hulu’s library.

13. Another thing that makes Hulu so easy to use is
the video player. It operates directly in your web
browser using flash player technology. This is
nice because many other Internet TV Services
require you to use a proprietary video player
that you must download and install. Being able
to play videos in your own browser without
fiddling with a new program is much easier and
allows you to get started watching videos as
soon as you get to the site.

14. Help & SupportHelp & Support

Hulu offers the standard methods of support if you have trouble with
the video player. The most common way to solve problems is through
the FAQs.

It covers most of the problems you would run into, which aren’t many
because Hulu is designed to be compatible with most computers. If
you have more complicated problems, you can also contact Hulu
through email.

Hulu also has a nice tutorial that helps you learn how to use all the
features available and find the videos you want.
