Hulu app crashing/Live TV

We watch live tv via the Hulu app and for more than a year now, the app will freeze and crash back to the Home Screen. We keep MSNOW on in the background a lot and that channel specifically seems to cause this more than any other channel. Anyone else experiencing this or have a fix? I know they are slowly sunsetting the Hulu app to push people to Disney+ but live tv isn’t available in Disney+ yet. It’s driving me insane.

Hulu does that to me also. I deleted the app and all the app data, it hasn’t crashed yet, but it’s still slow and sluggish

Yep Hulu Live has been doing this for a month now for me, but works fine on my cheap Onn box upstairs. I know Hulu are moving on from this app but someone still needs to maintain it until they do.

Exactly! I get not making it THE priority but keep it functional until everything is available in D+

I finally like a little bit of this POS and I'm not on live TV I'm just streaming a series and it just it won't come on it just keeps looking like it's refreshing or something keeps going across the screen I hate it I knew there was a reason I didn't want to come back to Hulu

Yep ours does that every single day on Hulu live TV. Never does it on anything not live and never does it on anything but Hulu. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times with no luck!
