I have four Tivos, 2 Roameos, 1 Zoom, and 1 Mini, and I am having a problem with Hulu on all of them. I'm not a huge fan of Hulu, but there were a couple shows on there I wanted to watch, but could not get anything to play from beginning to end without completely freezing up. My lockups occur when Hulu is transitioning between video sources....like their annoying commercial breaks. They would interrupt the program, play their stuipid repetitive ads, then when it tries to resume the show....it will completely freeze up with a blank screen (with only the shows rating showing in the upper right hand corner). When the tivo button is pressed, it will take 1-2 minutes before Hulu exits and I am returned to the main tivo interface. If I try to re-launch Hulu and resume the show, it would restart the same advertisements and then always lockup at the end of them.
I get this behavior on all 4 of my Tivos and can't believe I am alone with this problem. I have Comcast Internet with very good UL & DL speeds, low latency, have a Cisco gigabit ethernet back-end, and have no problem playing Hulu on my Amazon FireTVs on the same network. I paid the extra money to get rid of the advertising breaks, but still experience the lockups when I try to watch a Hulu Original after the "Hulu Original" animation plays, then it tries to start streaming the actual show. You would think that if Hulu wants to be a player in the streaming video game, and insist on having an advertising based model....they would make sure their ads don't prevent people from using the friggin' service. Also, by letting me know that a particular show is a "Hulu Original" program.....they insure that I am not able to watch it! WTF?
