A warm welcome here in the Roku Community, @BillA.
We appreciate you reaching out for support.
We'd be more than happy to find you the best resolution for this but will need additional information.
May we know what model your external device used for the recording? Also, since you mentioned you had issues with accessing the Hulu app through Roku and not on your TV, do you mean through The Roku Channel and not directly from Hulu but still inside the Roku streaming platform?
We'll be looking forward to your response so we can provide you with an accurate resolution.
Best regards,
Carly
