No Hulu Plus Widget Has anyone had a problem with a lack of hulu plus widget? I just set this up which was very easy but no hulu.

After speaking to Vizio I waited a few days for an update of my tv and Hulu was available. However, it would not load. Hulu support advised me to delete most of my queue and it worked. As long as I only keep a few shows (10-20) in my queue I can use the app. Hulu said they were working on the issue and hoped a fix would be soon.

Their website says you can download it through the app gallery in one of the menus.

Man, didn't think this TV could do more than it already does! I got lucky and found this TV on craigslist 2 days ago in pristine condition at half the cost. I was playing around with it all last nite and still haven't gotten to all the features. Great TV...especially for what I paid for it. :-)

without flash, no Hulu or Netflix...in theory, it may be possible to get FLASH to work, but I have failed so far. Thanks to Costco's generous return policy, I can play with it for another month, then make the keep or return decision

this issue with pandora is really upsetting. i called and was told radio apps dont belong on a tv yet they already have a radio app. if i could i would return the tv but waited beyond the 30 days. lg still doesnt get customer support!

I haven't tried Amazon, but suddenly my ability to get Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, etc. has disappeared. I have talked with Netflix & with my internet provider...they concluded it's the tv. I've seen the problem in online forums. They say to reset the tv back to factory settings. But I'm going to call Vizio & see if they can walk me through it.

Not working on my set, so I must have the funky firmware version. But I can still get the Amazon content on this set via my old Roku. The box shows Amazon icon, the TV remote has an Amazon button, the Smart TV Menu at the bottom of the screen has an Amazon selection, but the button sends you to a black screen and selecting the icon from the on-screen menu results in a message that Amazon content is not currently available but that they are working on it. I'm sure I could take it back to Costco, but it is a great TV otherwise, and I have the Roku workaround.

NeoTv has Netflix and hulu already programmed into the box. The only thing it doesn't have is amazon. Actually runs quite well with out stalling. Don't forget an HDTV cable

For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video. If you look at the history of questions on this device, or Google for information, you'll find quite a few frustrated with this. You can't get it as a "Yahoo Widget" (2009-2010 models only) and the Samsung App is only available on 2012 models and later. I was just looking for it today out of curiosity (I was updating the PLEX app) and was sad to see it isn't there. I have many other options, but it does seem obnoxious that they can't fix this minor detail, when Netflix and other Samsung Apps seem to work fine on this TV.http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/devices#Television For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video.

VERY DISAPPOINTED to find out my Samsung C6500 Blue Ray player doesn't have the yahoo widget/amazon streaming capabilities!!! Netflix works fine for me, but their "watch now" selection is nowhere near as good as their disc mailing selection, and so I had hoped the Amazon streaming library would have more extensive. Free trial is USELESS!!!

To yell you the truth, I started with XBMC and it froze up on me and it was returned to Amazon. I never had a chance to check out you tube app because XBMC has you tube as well. Sorry but that's all I know.

No. You have to have the subscription to run the app. I tried running Hulu through the browser, but they have the mobile flash locked down. That being said, between Crackle, Youtube, and Crunchyroll, there isn't much you will miss. The flash on board did ok with some webstreams (I really only tried SyFy's to watch some Eureka).Oh, and another thing that sucks about Hulu is they kill the stream to the tablet if you plug it in using HDMI.

Be glad you didn't get the Haier. I received mine Friday and I have been unable to get but only one channel and it isn't even clear. I saw other reviewers complaining about this but I thought that since I live in a metropolitan area that I wouldn't have any problems. Boy was I wrong. I am returning the Haier today and will try the Axion as I think the extra antenna they provide will do the trick.

It definitely does not. There is no Hulu or Hulu Plus app in the Google Play store, nor can you access Hulu from the browser. The two companies have yet to reach a content agreement... The negotiations have stretched on for years at this point. This is a well-known and much-discussed drawback to Google TV. As with most consumer electronics, there are workarounds, however. It is possible to enable your Google TV device to play Hulu, but they involve hacking or "rooting" the box... Ever heard of "jail-breaking" an iPhone? Same concept. Essentially you are altering the base software of the device to get around certain built-in limitations. Doing this voids the warranty and can make downloading updates difficult. It's not an option I'd suggest unless you're a very tech-savvy person with an understanding of Linux.

Yes it does. This device is a Google TV player and lots more besides. You can download the HULU app from the Google Play store. You can also open the built in Chrome browser to get to the HULU site. Basically this device is a Barebones Linux HTPC with some built in apps.

Nope. Does not even support hulu. The app support for this device is extremely limited and Samsung quit providing updates for it a few years back.

Why I would consider this player over a PS3? Don't have to buy PlayStation Network Plus to get Hulu. Don't need to put in a disc to get NetFlix support. Don't need a dongle for Harmony remote.

You are welcome. Do me (us) a favor and let me know which one you decide to keep and why. If the next firmware revision or two does not fix the video streaming, then I will probably add one of those two just for Hulu. You could save me the hassle of buying both, comparing, and returning one :)
