Watch your favorite Hulu content directly on your Xfinity X1 or Xumo Stream Box devices!

To access the Hulu app, you’ll need:

  • A compatible X1 TV Box (RNG150 and Pace XG1v1 models aren’t supported) or Xumo Stream Box.
  • Xfinity Internet (any level of service).
  • A Hulu subscription.
    • If you don’t have an existing Hulu subscription, you can sign up through your device by following the on-screen prompts.

If you need troubleshooting help for the Hulu app or have questions about pricing, see our Hulu app FAQs. Additionally, if you have an incompatible box and would like to swap it for a compatible one, see our instructions on exchanging X1 TV boxes.
