Tired of FOMO? Here's How to Record Stuff on Hulu Live (and Finally Watch That Show Your Friend Won't Shut Up About)
Let's face it, in the age of streaming, there's just too much good stuff. You finally settle on a show, only to realize you're three seasons behind and everyone's already done all the memes. Fear not, friend! This guide will turn you into a Hulu Live recording ninja, so you can watch what you want, when you want (and avoid any spoilers from your chatty co-worker).
First Things First: You Gotta Have Hulu Live
This might sound obvious, but for those of you living under a rock (no judgement, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson movies are pretty epic), Hulu Live is the version of Hulu that lets you watch live TV. Think of it as cable with the perks of pajamas and skipping commercials (hallelujah!). Regular Hulu is awesome for on-demand shows and movies, but it won't help you record that nail-biting basketball game or the latest episode of "America's Next Top Dog Walker."
Pro Tip: If you're not sure if you have Hulu Live, check your bank statement for "Hulu + Live TV" or something similar. If you're rocking the basic Hulu plan, you might need to upgrade to join the recording revolution.
Recording Like a Boss: How to Snag Those Shows
Once you're sporting the gloriousness of Hulu Live, buckle up for recording mastery! Here's the breakdown:
-
Find Your Show: This might seem, well, obvious, but with all the amazing content on Hulu Live, it's easy to get lost in a rabbit hole. Use the handy search bar or browse the live TV guide – it's like a virtual TV listings magazine, but way cooler (and without the weird smell).
-
Clicky Clicky, Recordy Recordy: Once you've found your show, click on it to bring up all the episode info. Look for a glorious record button (it might be a plus sign or a little TV icon with a dot). Click that bad boy, and BAM! You're recording like a champ.
Superpower Move: Want to record the entire series? Some shows will have a "Record All Episodes" option. One click and you're set for weeks (or, be honest, the entire season in one glorious weekend).
Finding Your Recorded Treasures: The Art of the Cloud DVR
Here's the beauty of Hulu Live: your recordings are stashed in the cloud, not taking up space on your device (because who needs more cat videos clogging up their phone, right?). To find your recorded gems, head to "My Stuff" and then "Recordings." Here you'll see a list of everything you've snagged, ready to be devoured at your leisure.
Bonus Tip: You can also manage your recordings here. Want to delete something you've already watched? No problem! Just hit that delete button and free up space for more epic recordings.
So there you have it! With these handy tips, you'll be a recording pro in no time. Now go forth and conquer that ever-growing watchlist!
