I would like to watch Hulu live but only the latest Roku devices will work with the latest OS system of 12 or higher, I believe. Which devices have this OS system? I know all 4K type rokus have the older OS system that does not work.
Hi @wepon1,
Thanks for the inquiry!
We understand that you wanted to know the Roku devices that are supported by OS 12. We will be glad to assist you. Please check out this support article on Roku OS software release notes.
If there's anything else that we can do to assist you, please keep us posted.
All the best,
John
Any current Roku model in the current product line is compatible with Hulu.
Hulu says it wrote the current version of its Roku channel app to be compatible with the following Roku models, running Roku operating software version 11 or higher. Older Roku models not on this list are no longer supported by Hulu. If your older Roku model is not on this list, you'll need to replace it with a supported model in order to receive Hulu.
Presumably, newer models not yet listed by Hulu will also work.
You can check your Roku model and model number via Roku menu path Settings > System > About. (This information is current as of August 22, 2023. For updates, see the source link below.)

Note that, although it currently runs Roku 11.5, Hulu no longer supports the discontinued Roku 4 (4400X), which uses a different chip set than any other Roku.
