You have to watch ads. They do this every year.

I pay for the no ads plan but I'm going to talk to the wife about downgrading.

Are we 100% sure this will work with the Disney+ merger?

you can add disney + for $2.99 also. i canceled a couple weeks ago but did this deal

can't be an active account

just add a . in your email address and it will show up as a new account

Took an act of congress to combine my ESPN+ account with Disney/Hulu - I'll just take the hit on the bundle price.

Also, Max with ads is 2.99 a month (reg 9.99) for 6 months (new or recurring)

I have been doing this every year they have offered. Just go into your email account and add an alias.

thanks for the reminder OP, was going to get charged full price on the 23rd.

so, how does this work... if I am bob@gmail.com, and I use b.ob@gmail.com, do I get my notices and whatnot delivered to bob@gmail.com?

Correct.

Or do I actually have to create a new email address?

---

Nope.

bob@gmail.com is the same as b.ob@gmail.com and b.o.b@gmail.com, they are all the same email address as far as google is concerned and any email sent to those addresses will end up in the same inbox.

Test it out with one of your gmails. Send an email to one of you addresses but add “.” somewhere. You’ll get that email to your “non .” inbox.

I do this fairly regularly with one of my main email addresses that I initially created with “.”’s. Sometimes I’ll use the address with “.”’s, and sometimes without for various reasons.

Hulu with ads is basically just Pluto or one of the other free streaming sites

Ok for those on the fence- the Roku did NOT crash once.

I have long heard the Roku was the better device, but the Firestick has the better remote by a mile... I control my TV and AV receiver with it too.

Also of note-
A Haunting In Venice is a "new release" that went to Hulu. Otherwise you have to order it; it's "on sale" today at Amazon for $10.74, down from $19.99 (as it still is at Google Play, Vudu or Youtube).

That alone makes this offer worth my while, and why I did it. I figure there might be 1-2 more new movies over the course of the next year to continue with that.

Ad-supported; I got 2 minutes of commercials before the movie. None during it.

I’ve used Hulu on my firesticks without issue, so looks like your mileage may vary.

I certainly hope it will work on the Firestick, as I prefer that device.

One thing that might have made a difference (although I don't see why, but it might):

I signed in on the Firestick, using email and acct.
When I swapped to the Roku, I went ahead and pulled Hulu up on the PC, and did the activation code.

That shouldn't matter, but I'm tempted to do the code activation on the firestick and see. Because the crash was that I was watching, and suddenly got a spinning wheel, and then I was at the Firestick home screen again.

Watched about 3 minutes on the desktop (despondently), then said hey I have a Roku in HDMI slot 3 that I never use. Let's try that. Hit the Hulu button on the remote (holding the damn remote over my head so it would read), and it opened, coming to that option. I chose to activate with code, and it gave me the option of resuming where I left off on the desktop.

The Firestick never gave me an option to resume, it just would reload, and then blammo
