Hulu Live Not Working on Roku, Ok in Phone App

I recently upgraded to Hulu + Live TV and  cannot seem to get it to work on my Roku. It is working in the Hulu mobile app as well as the web version. Roku is up to date, Hulu app is up to date, I've restarted things, logged out and back in, etc. and there is still no live section in Hulu. What might I be missing?

Model - 3820X Streaming Stick 4

Re: Hulu Live Not Working on Roku, Ok in Phone App

Hi @sabols929,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

Thanks for letting us know about the trouble accessing the Hulu Live channel on your Roku device and the steps you took to resolve it. We'd like to learn how to identify and resolve this issue.

Refer to these questions to better identify the issue you're experiencing:

  • How did you subscribe to Hulu? Directly with Hulu? Through Roku? Through some other service (Amazon, Sling, Google, etc.)?
  • How are you attempting to access your Hulu? On the dedicated Hulu channel app? Through The Roku Channel?
  • Is the email address displayed under Settings > System > About on your Roku account the same credentials you used when you set up your Hulu account?
  • Are you encountering any error codes or messages when accessing the channel?
  • Do you observe this behavior while using other channel(s) on your device?

With more detailed information, we'll be able to assist you further.

All the best,

Welcome to the Roku Community, @WampusMcElroy!

Before proceeding, could you please provide us with additional information so we can assess your concern better? Let us know the following:

Your response is highly anticipated.

I am having the same issue.  It works fine on my phone, but the Hulu app on my Roku TV does not have the "live tv" button.  I subscribed through Hulu, The emails are different, No error codes.  Hulu works, just no "Live TV' button.

Hi @levans,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We understand that you do not have the Live TV button on the Hulu app on your Roku TV. We would like to take a closer look at the issue.

We are interested in understanding how you are accessing the Hulu application on your Roku TV. Specifically, we would like to know if you are using the Hulu app available as a standalone application, or if you are accessing Hulu through the Roku Channel. Your response will help us provide better assistance.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,
Riamie
