Just received this email from Hulu.  Is this for real?  Hulu is being dropped from every Roku Device starting June 24th, 2020?

Hulu App Will No Longer Be Supported on Your Roku Device

Hi Mike,

This is to inform you that the Hulu app will no longer be available on your Roku device starting on June 24, 2020. 

The good news is that there are other ways to have the full Hulu Experience. Continue to stream your favorite shows and movies by using any of our supported devices or operating systems

If you need help setting up a new supported device, or you have any additional questions, check out our Help Center or Contact us.

Thank you for choosing Hulu.

Since no one else has posted about this its probably just your model of roku that will no longer be compatible with Hulu app. It my be time to upgrade your roku, what is the model number of your roku anyways? This is not Roku, it is all Hulu, they chose what devices and models are compatible.

I got the same e-mail.  I have two rokus, and one of them is almost brand new.

We have multiple Roku's with at least two being the most current generation.  I received the same e-mail.  Although it does contain the phrase "your device," the clickable link provided to see if any Roku models are supported in non-valid.  As such, I am left wondering is it just one of my Roku devices has reach end-of-life support with Hulu ... or has Hulu made a blanket decision to discontinue it's entire relationship with Roku?

Just checked directly with Hulu.  It appears that it is limited to older model Roku devices.  According to Hulu, the support EOL announced for June include the following models:

• Roku Streaming Player (models 2400 to 3100)
• Roku Streaming Stick (model 3420 or earlier)

I just checked the Hulu site also.  I lied in the earlier post when I said I have two Rokus; actually, I have three and one of them is one of the older models (I use it only for Angry Birds).  I'm assuming (hoping?) that older one is the Roku that the e-mail is referring to.  (I also noted that the e-mail did not say Rokus--plural-- and wondered about that when I first read it.)

[meckley]

Yea, I think the Roku we have that is affected also has the Angry Birds app that was the original selling feature.  Not sure how long its been since anyone has even played Angry Birds on that device!

What does this mean is hulu going to support a 2500x model roku?? Yes or no?

[renojim]
