Recently I tried to cut the cord from my cable company and selected Hulu Live as the best streaming TV service since it has most of the channels we watch.
But I can't do it. It seems Hulu Live's software locks out a good part of the market. This is a stupid move on Hulu's part and could be resolved with better software.
The problem begins with my new LG large-screen TV. According to Hulu, LG uses webOS 2.0 and 3.5 is needed for streaming - and apparently they're unwilling to modify the Hulu Live software to fix this problem.
Alternately, LG could update its smart TV software, but this isn't really LG's problem. So until Hulu gets smart and embraces the whole market, some of us - and our cash - are going to be left out.
Meantime, if your smart TV will stream Hulu but not Hulu Live, that's probably why. A fix is to add a streaming device like an Amazon Fire stick, though that's not why you bought a smart TV.
