why does hulu skip? is it because of the tv or the app?

It's probably because of your internet connection....try connecting your TV to your modem/router with an ethernet cable OR if that isn't an option, try going in to the Hulu settings and changing the speed of the video. On my blu-ray player I have to change Hulu to SD instead of HD to get shows to not stutter. It's a hulu problem, hulu hasn't figured out how to stream flawlessly like netflix does.

It could be your internet connection or the app. Haven't used the app alot but it could need an update.

The skip/slip commands should show up on the second page of screen commands (right after favorite channels) assuming your DVR is in their database (which is most likely is, of course). Once I turn on the tv and choose the channel, I swipe to that screen and they're right there, all the time.

No it does not, There is a menu screen when you turn on the device but no buttons to link you to Netflix or Hulu

Another update - Playon works but not too well. In my case, when i select a movie (or hulu episode) , I get a "Invalid file" messgae in the video preview window. The only way to make it work is to use the up or down buttone to quickly move to the next entry and without stopping move back to the clip where you got the "invalid file" message. Then it shows up in the preview window and you can watch it. This is stupid. Also, once the movie or clip finishes, it tries to play the next clip automatically and hangs. In netflix you can't use the reverse button to rewind the movie either. All in all - it kinda sorta works with playon but not primetime ready. I don't know how it performs with Tversity.

Yes. Amazon Instant, Netflix, Redbox Instant and VUDU - But not Hulu Plus. That was the big downside for me.

I use this device with playon.tv and I can stream Hulu just fine. Apps work fine but browsing is sluggish as reported.

With Netflix you can watch on 2 diff devices. Hulu & amazon, one device. However, with a wireless video jumper you can use one device to view content on multiple TVs. These jumpers date back to the early 90s and are reasonably affordable. They don't transmit the IR signal from the remote control but with a phone app on a smartphone, it isn't a problem.

the Vudu app is on there, and I have a subscription, but for some reason the movies keep stalling saying there's an issue with the internet connection. Yet any other app I use, like Nexflix and Amazon, are fine. I never had trouble with Vudu on my old DVR, but it's unusable on this one.

I have a cable modem and I occasionally have quality problems. I haven't figured out yet if the trouble is with my network, the player or Netflix. Sometimes I'll get a message saying that the connection is too poor to even connect, so I click OK, reconnect, and generally it loads at high quality. Or sometimes it will load at medium quality so I'll stop the playback so it will load again. More often than not it loads the second time at high quality. It's kind of quirky. I can't answer your question, but thought I'd share my experience. Oh, and I have a 46" Samsung tv.

No it only plays DVDs, blu-rays, and media from a USB drive. There's no netflix, hulu, amazon, or other apps on it.

TR has already answered this and then some. We usually have Netflix disconnect itself a few times a month while other video streaming apps work fine without logging us out. I honestly think it may just be something with Netflix and not Samsung. I DO wish someone would update the app though because I see friends with older TVs or cheap little Rokus that have better UI for Netflix.

there's sometimes lag with streaming video apps on my phone, an old nexus 5. it's most noticeable with hbo, youtube has only a slight delay.

Just started using my Sharp LED TV and love it but I wish it had the Hulu app.

i would like to use this aquos tv with hulu as well, that would be the best app. i bought roku, but that seems pointless on an already wifi tv. Maybe if we bug sharp enough they'll figure out a way to add it.

Netflix works fine on my TV, but the "app" is not very elegant. I found it clunky and hard to navigate. I still use my Roku box to stream Netflix, as the Netflix app for Roku is far better than the Netflix app for Vizio/V.I.A.

I think this device will not help you like cable boxes or smart media/dvd player boxes. Unless you find an apps that will connect you to local programs. This device is very similar to a tablet that's missing a screen so you have to connect to a tv. Try looking for an app in google play for tv program player may help. You can subscribe to Hulu Plus, Netflix and such through device and never had any problem with streaming video.
