How To Activate Hulu on Apple TV

Truth is simply buying an Apple TV does not guarantee you access to the content you can watch on it, just like buying a TV does not give you access to cable TV shows.

You need to deliberately have accounts with each streaming service that provides the content (of which some are free and some are paid) or you subscribe to a cable/satellite package that gives you permission to access shows from specific networks through the Apple TV.

With that being said, you can activate Hulu on your Apple TV, by

• Launching the Hulu App on your Apple TV.
• Then, click on login on the home screen.
• Select “activate on your device”  either a phone, laptop, computer.
• The next screen will show you the Hulu app activation code.
• Go to hulu.com/activate
• Enter the activation code
• The account will be automatically logged in
• Choose your profile from the available list.
• Sit back and start the business of streaming.
