Starting April 13, Hulu subscribers will get more bang for their buck with the streaming platform’s announcement of Unlimited DVR to all Hulu + Live TV subscribers at no additional cost.
“Hulu + Live TV is becoming even more valuable and attractive to consumers,” said Joe Earley, president of Hulu. “Through one single subscription, users get access to 80+ live channels—including all the major broadcast networks–as well as Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+ and soon Unlimited DVR. Guided by our relentless focus on delivering the consumer a high-quality user experience, we will be one of the only pay TV providers–traditional or streaming–to offer this feature as part of the base plan at no additional cost.”
This new feature will give subscribers limitless storage to record programming across their entire 80+ channel lineup. Unlimited DVR will give users access to on-demand playback and fast-forwarding capabilities on recordings for up to nine months. Currently, Hulu + Live TV users can record up to 50 hours of DVR, with an option to upgrade to 200 hours for an additional $10 monthly fee.
Currently, Hulu + Live TV’s entry-level tier, which includes ad-supported on-demand viewing and subscriptions to Disney+ and ESPN+, costs $70 a month, while Hulu + Live TV’s pricier tier, which includes ad-free on-demand viewing on Hulu, is $76 a month.
Hulu + Live TV includes next-day network TV shows, original series and a library of on-demand TV episodes and movies with 4.3 million subscribers.
