I can't find Hulu in the Channel Store

I bought Roku, mostly because of Hulu. Excited to get it and installed when after an entire evening of searching, found out that there's no Hulu within.

Thinking of returning the device and find substitutes that offer wider variety of channels.

    Thanks for the information.

    Channel availability/access on Roku devices will vary from region to region. A Roku device will work in any location, however, channels may not be available on your device in that location, based on each channel provider's discretion. For more information, you'd want to contact any specific channel/service provider to inquire further about whether they offer their channel/service on the Roku platform in your region. 


    Thanks,
    Danny

        I live in Florida, and neither Hulu or HBOmax are showing up in my channel store.    Can anyone from Roku actually help me with this.   I have the exact same tv as two of my friends who live locally and they both can access the apps.    CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY I CAN NOT.

    Where are you located? Many channels are not available globally.

      I'm in Canada and bought Roku from Amazon Canada, which showed Hulu as one of the apps. Plus, I do have a subscription with Hulu and have been using it on my laptop.

      It would be a shame to go through all this to continue watching Hulu on my laptop.
