Hulu features unlimited DVR features for the company, and it aims to bring the feature widely available for users to record live TV channels and cable streams in the subscription. The setup here is that users will have up to nine months since they recorded the show to replay or rewind before it expires-unlike its previous offer of a storage allocation for recordings.
Hulu: Unlimited DVR to Remove Storage Caps for Recordings, But has Expiry
Hulu announced today that it is bringing unlimited DVR for all "Hulu +" Live TV Channels subscribers, and the feature will arrive by April 13 for their use. DVR or digital video recordings are often used with top boxes connected to external storage to capture moments on television and have them available for a recap later on.
Before this, subscribers had 50 hours of DVR features on their subscription, and they had the option to upgrade it to 200 hours of streaming recorded videos for $9.99. Users that subscribe to the additional plan will have the additional fee waived from their monthly bill, offering Hulu's service as a base plan for the live TV channel subscribers.
Hulu DVR: How Does it Work?
According to Tech Crunch, Hulu will delete a subscriber's oldest recording if storage space is running out, but the new unlimited DVR will not need to delete for space. However, it features an expiry date that focuses on the availability of the recorded stream for up to nine months only. After that, it will automatically remove it from the list.
Hulu and its Streaming
Hulu is a streaming platform as it offers so much more for the online service, including creating its original shows and focusing on productions. The company also focuses on bringing its official merchandise from the shows it has on its streaming, featuring its "Ugly Sweater Collection" in the last 2021's Christmas season.
The company also features a watch party function that will help connect Hulu users to family members and friends who also have their subscription from the company's streaming offers. Hulu rivals Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, as it also features live TV channels apart from the on-demand video offers.
Streaming platforms each have their unique offers or features, but Hulu's Unlimited DVR is a first for the industry and maybe the company's featured product now, especially as anyone can use it for their needs. Catching up on a television show that only airs on live TV may be added to one's list without a data cap for its DVR.
