A beta of Hulu’s live television streaming service is now available through browsers on Mac and PC. The content is being offered via the company’s website. When the new service arrived in May, users had to access it through other devices, like an Apple TV or iOS device.
Because users have been requesting access to the service from the web, Hulu decided to launch it early as an optional beta.
So rather than wait until we’ve finalized our new Web experience, we’re opening up a basic version to Hulu’s live TV plan subscribers so they can stream live TV via their browsers. – Hulu
