Wrestling with Westinghouse? How to wrestle Hulu onto your TV
Ah, Westinghouse. The TVs that come pre-loaded with enough confusion to rival a tax form. You want to watch the latest season of "What We Do in the Shadows" (great show by the way, highly recommend) but Hulu seems to be hiding from your Westinghouse like a vampire from sunlight. Fear not, fellow streamer, for I am here to guide you through this labyrinth and get you binge-watching in no time.
Is your Westinghouse even a smart TV?
This, my friend, is the million-dollar question (or at least a ten-dollar question depending on the model). Some older Westinghouse TVs are about as smart as a particularly stubborn brick. If yours doesn't have an app store or a way to connect to the internet, then this guide might be about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Fret not, there's still hope! We'll get to that later.
Assuming you have a Smart Westinghouse:
Method 1: The App Store.
- Find the App Store: This may be buried in the depths of your TV's menu system. Think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but instead of booby traps, you'll be dodging strange icons and nonsensical menu options.
- Search for Hulu: Here's hoping Westinghouse decided to include Hulu in their app selection. If you find it, congratulations! You've successfully wrestled the app onto your TV. Bold text for you because that deserves a celebratory dance.
Uh oh, no Hulu app?
Don't despair! We have a Plan B (and possibly a C):
Method 2: Enter the Streaming Stick.
These nifty little gadgets (Roku sticks, Amazon Fire Sticks, or even Apple TVs) are basically streaming ninjas. They plug into your Westinghouse's HDMI port and unleash a world of streaming apps, including Hulu.
Here's the beauty: These stick guys are super easy to use and come with their own remotes, so you can ditch that confusing Westinghouse one for good (or keep it around for emergencies, like trying to change the TV's input source).
Method 3: Cast it Away
If your Westinghouse is one step shy of being a smart TV (but still has an HDMI port), then casting might be your hero. You can use a phone, tablet, or computer with Hulu to cast the content directly to your TV. Think of it as a magic trick, but instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, you're pulling Hulu onto your screen.
So there you have it! With a little know-how and maybe a dash of perseverance, you'll be streaming Hulu on your Westinghouse in no time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a vampire mockumentary and a bowl of popcorn. Happy streaming!
