Virgil Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Anyone use this? Looking at it to replace cable as it has all the channels I use. More importantly, someone said you can change your zip code and watch out of market sporting games. Has anyone do this in place of Sunday ticket?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 I just got it, the guide is terrible, well it's pretty much non existent. I too have heard about switching zip codes, but not many details on it.

The Wiz Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Hulu live is also limited to your home depending on the device. I was in cape cod recently and couldn't watch on my Xbox because it knew I was in a different location. This is only because of the live TV aspect of it and viewing restrictions. Worked fine on my phone for some reason. Is a pretty good service honestly. I have the roof antenna for local stuff and Hulu live for all the network TV. 1
CEN-CAL17 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 It’s amazing for college football.... tons of games!!! NFL you only get the national televised games. No NFL network games. ESPN you’re good... other ESPN channels a on occasionally. It’s not a constant with some channels. Some are though. 1
Just Joshin' Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 I am looking at YouTube tv once I go south for the winter. The key with that is that you need to begin the local area on a device you will register. Once it is registered in WNY, I will have up to 6 months in TX before it has to be back in the local area. That will cover the season and I can cancel. While Hulu may work differently, they must have some way to stop you from just changing zip codes. Maybe billing zip on your credit card Good luck and let us know if it works out. 1

QFT Hulu uses your location to decide which NFL game you get, so it's no different than cable or over the air But you get tons of college games

Can always create a vpn to watch it remotely if needed. They specifically list Hulu live tv as "single home network use only" because people were complaining that they had two homes but couldn't use it at both. Edited September 7, 2019 by The Wiz

If you pay more than $12 a month for every live channel and VOD you're paying to much. Look them up on Facebook.
wagon127 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Reddit works too, and its free. Just connect your laptop to your tv! Google "reddit nfl stream" on game day, or "reddit nhl stream" when you want to watch the sabres!

Hi this is the FBI, please tell me more about this illegal streaming service that you are advertising
jdonley1180 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 a lot of the VPN's out there allow you to change the location of your IP address. A buddy of mine pays $10-$15 a month for his VPN, $6 a month for CBS app and watches the regional Bills broadcasts in Georgia

But switches and like the PS Vue better. Never tried it in place of Sunday Ticket just the free Streams that have been talked about here and I Red it

For me Video stream quality is pretty decent with Apple TV. They allow mobile streaming to mobile devices but to tv it’s fixed location from my understanding. I’d also guess the app blocks casting it to a tv if you not at your home location. To OP, You can probably change zip but most devices know roughly where they are. So I’m not sure It’ll work. There used to be a free trail 7 day trial so you might have a no risk option to try it.

So when I go into Hulu I click the link that states SET OR CHANGE HOME, it comes back with this "By updating your home you are indicating to us that you have moved to a new home location. You have used 0 / 4 of your available home changes within the past 12 months" There's a button below that says RETURN TO ACCOUNT but nothing else to click on so don't see where I can change it. Hmmmmmm......! Last couple of seasons I've used Reddit and it's been pretty reliable. OK so as I re-read it, think it is not letting me change it becasue it knows based on IP address that I haven't gone anywhere. If I logged in a different location, then would likely allow me to use it there. Maybe if when I first subscribed my computer was sitting in Western NY, could have set it there and even though never actually there again, could have left NY as my home?? Probably if I had a VPN to switch to Western NY could change it to there and leave it? Edited September 7, 2019 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch
BigDingus Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 I doubt switching zip codes would do much. It'll just see the same IP address either way, giving away your location. VPN's might work, but there can be other issues with that too. If your VPN will allow you to select the location, it could potentially work, but a lot of them randomly bounce around, sometimes out of country. The reason that can definitely be an issue is Hulu is very region locked. It's not available outside North America, so you might just get booted from Hulu straight up lol.
Talley56 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 I have hulu and I use a Roku to watch it on my TV. It has been nice for the most part, but here are a couple of issues I have run into: - Even with fiber optic internet it occasionally goes through buffering. It really only happens maybe once or twice a month. - Even when I'm watching a game live the feed is a little behind. Sometimes I will follow the gameday thread or shoutbox on TBD as I'm watching the game and I will see messages on the board about plays that I haven't on my TV yet due to my feed being behind. - I see some people mentioning the VPN and I know you mentioned the possibility of watching in other markets. I've never been able to watch stuff in other markets but I did once set my VPN address out of the country and I had to switch it back to the US because Hulu thought I was in an area where certain channels aren't available. Also, when I watch on my laptop or phone, I have to turn my VPN off.
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) I have YoutubeTV and it is pretty good. You are able to stream on unlimited devices for no extra charge which is a huge bonus over other streaming services. I have to get the Sabres off of reddit though.
