Hulu Specifications

Hulu Product Details
To enjoy videos at Hulu, you will need the following software installed on your computer:
  • Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, Firefox 1.5 or above, or Safari 2.0 or above
  • JavaScript and Cookies must also be enabled.
  • Adobe Flash Player 9.0 or above
  • Microsoft Windows XP SP2, Microsoft Windows Vista, Macintosh OS X, or Linux

In addition, you will need an internet connection with sufficient bandwidth. Our videos stream at 480Kbps or 700Kbps, and we'll adjust our stream based on your bandwidth, but we recommend a downstream bandwidth of 1000Kbps or higher for the smoothest playback experience. You can test your downstream bandwidth at many websites. Search for bandwidth test on the web to find many of the most popular bandwidth test websites.

Some of our videos now come in a 1,000 Kbps, H.264, 480p stream. You can recognize these streams by the 480p Hi-Res button that will appear in the lower right of the player. To watch these high resolution streams, you'll need to upgrade to Flash Player 9.0.124.0, and we recommend a downstream bandwidth of 1,500Kbps for the smoothest playback experience.

You'll also need Flash Player 9.0.124.0 to watch the 720p clips in our HD Gallery. Those are encoded at 2,500Kbps, and we recommend a downstream bandwidth of over 3,500Kbps to stream those, or you can pause and allow the streams to buffer before playing them.

I haven't skipped a beat really since canceling my Comcast (and all other) TV services. I can watch all my favorite episodes through Hulu online. The quality is great and the interruptions aren't bad at all. The repetitions of the ads are
