How to watch NFL RedZone

Unlike the previous streamers, Hulu + Live TV only has one plan available, with more than 90 channels. But it does come with two options. The first option includes ads, while the second option has no ads for on-demand content. A subscription comes with unlimited cloud DVR, 

Hulu + Live TV has a few drawbacks, including the lack of a free trial. However, since there are no contracts, you can cancel at any time. It also is less generous with simultaneous streaming, only allowing users to stream on up to two screens at once. But, for an extra $10 a month, you can stream on unlimited devices at home and add a third stream outside of the home.

With Hulu’s extensive streaming library included in Hulu + Live TV, you’ll have access to Hulu Originals, along with movies and current and full seasons of many series. Additionally, you can add ESPN Plus, Disney Plus (With Ads), Max, Cinemax, Showtime and Starz, along with sports and entertainment packages.
