How to Use Hulu's DVR Feature

What You Must Have to Utilize Hulu Cloud DVR

In order to utilize Hulu Cloud DVR, the following are necessary:

First, you must possess an active Hulu subscription to Hulu + Live TV.

Second, you need a device that is compatible with both Hulu + Live TV and Cloud DVR. Hulu provides a comprehensive list of supported devices on their official website.

The standard Hulu DVR subscription offers storage capacity for a maximum of 50 hours of live TV. In contrast, the Enhanced Cloud DVR option significantly increases this limit to 200 hours. It also enables you to skip advertisements, removes the restriction on the number of shows you can record simultaneously, and allows you to stream your recorded content to other devices. Additionally, certain Enhanced Cloud DVR packages incorporate Hulu No Ads, which blocks all ads from the service.
