If you just go to [Hulu.com](http://Hulu.com) and start watching stuff, that is the Hulu free content. I do it every so often, last week in fact.

It’s still there, it’s just a week’s delay in seeing new episodes rather than being able to see them the day after they air.

You can’t get Hulu free on a smart tv, just Hulu plus.

I’ve tried skipping the Hulu app and going straight through the browser on my tv but it blocks me every time. I get Hulu free on my pc just fine.

Yeah I really dislike this feature. I got hulu free on chrome then streamed it onto my chromecast to watch on TV.
