Are you trying to watch Hulu on your Sony TV, but can’t get it to work? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! We’ve all been there. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the common problems people experience when trying to watch Hulu on a Sony TV and how to fix them.
Power Reset Your TV
If the issue persists, it may be necessary to power reset your Sony TV. To do this, hold down the power button for about 6 seconds or until the TV does a full restart. This should resolve any software issues that may be causing Hulu to not work as intended. After the device reboots, attempt to open Hulu once more. If this doesn’t solve the issue, you may need to try resetting your router, checking for updates within the app, verifying device age, disconnecting your Hulu account from other devices, closing and reopening Hulu, signing up for Hulu, checking for updates on Apple TV Gen 3, checking for updates on PS3 and checking for updates on Xbox 360.
Reset Your Router
It is important to reset your router in order to make sure that all of the necessary settings are in place for Hulu to work properly. To do this, turn off and disconnect power from the devices for 30 seconds or more, then reconnect them and turn them back on. Additionally, you should try a simple restart of your device in order to troubleshoot any possible issues that could be preventing Hulu from working.
Check For Updates Within the App
Before attempting to update the Hulu app, you should check if there is an update available. To do this, open the Google Play Store, tap on the Menu icon (three horizontal lines) on the upper-left side of your screen, and select “My apps & games”. Here, you should be able to see if there is an update available for Hulu. If there is, select the update to begin downloading. If there isn’t, then it’s likely that your Sony TV isn’t compatible with Hulu or that your device may be too old.
Verify Device Age
Verify Device Age: If your Sony TV is more than a few years old, it may not be supported by Hulu. To check if your device is compatible, visit the Hulu Help Center and search for your device. If you find that your device is no longer supported, consider upgrading to a modern streaming device like the Roku Premiere, Apple TV 4K or Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. These devices allow you to access all of the great content available on Hulu, including Yellowstone, Bar Rescue, Ink Master, Lip Sync Battle and more.
Disconnect Your Hulu Account From Other Devices
If you’re having trouble with your Hulu account, it could be that too many devices are using your account. To fix this issue, make sure to disconnect your Hulu account from all other devices. You’ll get a warning if the amount of devices connected exceeds the limit. It’s important to log out of Hulu on any PC or Mac computer, smart TV, or mobile device you have used to access the streaming service. This will help ensure that only the device you want to use is connected to your Hulu account.
Close and Reopen Hulu
If Hulu still won’t open on your Sony TV after trying out the above steps, it’s time to close and reopen the app. Many device manufacturers recommend force closing an app when it’s unresponsive or malfunctioning. Force close Hulu if it crashes or freezes and then try to open it again. If that doesn’t work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. This should help get Hulu running properly on your Sony TV.
