Hulu Plus comes to Chromecast

October 02, 2013

The announcement comes as researcher Parks Associates released the results of a new survey that revealed Chromecast owners were using the streaming device as a work-around to watch current TV hows on their living-room TVs through the free version of the Hulu service.

TV viewing is one of the features of the paid version of Hulu, which costs $8 a month.

It is unclear whether Chromecast owners would still be able to use the circumvention technique Parks Associates identified — using their laptops and Google's Chrome browser to find a TV episode on the free Hulu site and transfer the streamed video to their TVs — without paying for a subscription to Hulu Plus.

From the article, "Hulu Plus comes to Chromecast" by Dawn C. Chmielewski.
