In order to use it you need to first install the Hulu Plus app on your iPhone, iPad or any android devices, then launch the app; this will automatically detect the console if it’s on an logged into the same Hulu Plus account. Then you will see a cast button appear on your mobile device that will let you pair the remote with your console.

One of the coolest benefits of the Hulu Plus remote control is that you can use your mobile device to search and view TV shows, videos and other awesome stuff offered by Hulu without having to interrupt the viewing of another stream on the TV. If you want to watch a different media you just have to cast it from you remote control device and start watching the show on your TV. It’s that simple.

One of the Hulu representatives said that the Hulu Plus remote control app has all the controls- like the pause button, resume, 10 second rewind and seek- that were found on Hulu Plus. He also said that if the user wants to switch from the Hulu Plus content  from a smartphone to a console TV, one can do it simply by pressing a button.

Hulu is working on more remote control functions and will add them to the Hulu Plus app. Hulu senior development Mitch Walker wrote that the new remote control app “expand[s] on the great Chromecast support we successfully launched last year. “[R]emote control functionality for Hulu Plus brings that same awesome experience to your living room through the Hulu Plus app on your Xbox One, PlayStation 3, or PlayStation 4 systems.”

Hulu Plus Remote Control – makes everything easier

With the new remote control app is easier to relax on your couch and just enjoy the Hulu experience, especially since they sealed a deal with NBC earlier this month and Amazon announced that they plan to add Hulu Plus to their Fire TV voice search. So the future for Hulu fans is brighter than ever.

Netflix Prices Will Go Up – For New Subscribers, They Say

By Leave a Comment

netflixThe popular streaming video company has announced on Monday that they are planning to increase their subscription prices for new customers. In the next few months the prices will go up with one or two dollars monthly. Netflix said that their existing subscribers will continue to enjoy the services at the current rate for “a generous time period.”

The current subscribers pay %7.99 a month for a plan introduced in 2010. Netflix has increased the monthly fees for Irish new subscribers by one euro in January and said that the change didn’t have a serious impact.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said that Netflix prices will go up as a result of their continuous expansion: “If we want to continue to expand, to do more great original content… we have to eventually increase prices a little bit.” Netflix added 2.25 million new subscribers this year and now has 36 million American subscribers and over 48 million around the world.

The popular TV shows “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black” are two of their original programming that are currently being watched by millions of subscribers. The second season of “House of Cards” debuted in February while season 2 of “Orange is the New Black” will be coming on June 6.

The online video business is becoming very competitive and there are many streaming services with which Netflix competes: HBO Go, Hulu and Amazon Prime Instant Video. When asked about this fact Hastings said that he is a Prime subscriber and that he sees it as being “complementary to Netflix.” Analysts are predicting a major change when it comes to Netflix’s subscription prices and not only for new subscribers.

Netflix Prices Will Go Up – only for new subscribers for the time being

More updates are expected on this announcement as current Netflix subscribers fear that the prices will increase for everyone. As soon as we find out anything new about this we will keep you posted. What are your thoughts on the fact that Netflix prices will go up? Are you currently a subscriber or do you plan to become one in the near future? Do you think that this increase is a fair one and reflects the quality of the services or is it just a marketing strategy? Would you rather use other video streaming services like HBO Go, Hulu or Amazon Prime Instant Video? Please share your thoughts in the comment section below.
