Hulu Live TV now testing 60 FPS on Switch
Posted on February 6, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
One feature of Hulu is Live TV. Users can watch a number of channels on their device of choice as they happen, without having to be in front of a television.
Live TV is now seeing an improvement, and Switch users can try it out. Hulu has started rolling out support for 60 frames per second on select channels. As this is in a testing phase, Hulu will be rolling out the feature in different phases.
Here’s the full announcement, as well as the listing of initially supported channels:
You’ve asked, you’ve patiently waited… and today is the day we begin rolling out 60fps (frames per second) support on Live TV. This was one of the most-requested features by our viewers – including all of you on r/hulu – so I wanted to give you a status update!
Due to the dependencies required to enable 60fps, we’ll be rolling it out in phases to get you these higher-quality streams as quickly as possible. By offering our live streams at this frame rate, our goal is to provide a significantly more immersive viewing experience for Live TV. You’ll notice the difference most when watching sports or news, so we’re excited to have this in time for the 2018 Winter Olympics and March Madness (NBC and Turner channels, respectively).
Today marks the beginning of Phase 1, and you will now be able to see the following in 60fps:
- CNN
- CNN International
- HLN
- TNT
- TBS
- TCM
- TruTV
- Cartoon Network
- Adult Swim
- All SHOWTIME channels
- About half of our available FOX affiliates
- All of our available NBC affiliates, as well as New England Channel News
*Please note that individual FOX/NBC affiliates may temporarily revert back to a 30fps version in order to bring you the most stable playback stream.
The following devices are also enabled as part of Phase 1:
- iPhone/iPad
- Apple TV
- Xbox One
- Fire TV
- Samsung Tizen TV
- Nintendo Switch
