So, while watching on my TV, I get ads (because it's supposedly the ad based Hulu as part of that bundle) but, when I watch on my computer, it skips the ads by cycling through the time (so it's a total of like 5 seconds of hangup) and goes right back to the show that I'm watching. Does anyone know why that is? Is it due to ad blocker on my computer or something of the sort? It's the ad-blocker. Sometimes it will catch the ad-blocker and tell me to turn it off, but that's happened maybe 5% of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d gladly pay an extra $3-5 for no ads. Edited November 21, 2019 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are new to Hulu, just add ad-free after you sign up and you will get billed separately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) How much is Hulu with live TV? @THE DUKE, you’re saying that Disney+ will take 6.99 off whichever Hulu package I get? How much would Disney+ and Hulu with live TV cost? Edited November 22, 2019 by Outpost31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much Hulu with Live TV is, but I have Hulu with no ads and I pay $12.99 for the Disney+ Bundle and it takes $6.99 off my Hulu bill, so i'm getting Disney+, ad free Hulu, and ESPN+ for something like $18 or $19 a month.

THE DUKE Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Has anyone else tried Peacock? I've been giving it a try since it's free with ads, and while the Roku interface is still a little clunky, it hasn't been bad. I'm capping out on the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle, Netflix, and Prime, but since this has a free option, why not? There seem to be the same amount of ads in a 2.5 hour movie as there is in a 45 minute show which is a little weird. It's not bad at all for the movie, but it's noticeable on the tv show. I do like that almost all the ads are in the first half of the movie and then it doesn't interrupt the climax at all. I've been burning through the Harry Potter movies, and watched Deathly Hallows Part 1 yesterday, and the last ad was with over an hour left in the movie. It has a "premium" and "premium plus" versions for $5 and $10 respectively, but I don't see myself doing either of those anytime soon. And as far as I can tell: Premium = No ads, but still limited content Premium Plus = Full library content with no ads Worth giving the free version a try if you can stomach ads. I haven't seen an ad break longer than a minute yet, so they aren't too bad, it's not like Hulu's ad content where it might be 2-2.5 minutes of ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Welp, YTTV really did their best to work out that deal with Disney...... I guess..... Signed up for Sling Orange just to get ESPN for bowl season and that's as long as YTTV gets with me unless they fix this dispute. Anyone have Fubo or Hulu experience? Pros and cons of each?
