Does this come with the 2 months of free Hulu plus advertised on the Roku site?

Yes, I got an email from Roku that gave me instructions on how to get me 2 free months of Hulu. Aside from the instructions the email also said: Congratulations on your new Roku purchase! And to add even more awesome into your life, new Hulu Plus users qualify to receive 2 months FREE of Hulu Plus - a $16 value.* Just start your new Hulu Plus subscription by October 31, 2014. The fine print of the email reads: *Terms & Conditions: Offer only available to new Hulu Plus subscribers. Activate a new Roku player by connecting it to the internet and linking to your new or existing Roku account between 7&#8203;/&#8203;13&#8203;/1&#8203;4 and 9&#8203;/&#8203;30&#8203;/14 to qualify. Redeem offer by 10&#8203;/3&#8203;1&#8203;/2&#8203;01&#8203;4. 2-month free subscription is for the Hulu Plus regular monthly fee plus applicable tax. Credit card required. If you do not cancel your Hulu Plus subscription at the end of the 2 month period, you authorize Hulu to charge your payment method each month for the subscription fees plus applicable tax until you cancel the Hulu Plus subscription. The Hulu Plus subscription can't be redeemed for cash, resold, or combined with any other special free offers. Offer valid in the United States only, excluding United States territories (e.g. void in Puerto Rico and Guam).

Ours did, we took the offer but left after the two months were up, not that great! Netflix is better but now we are liking Amazon Prime. Planning to DQ Netflix soon.

I cancelled my cable thanks to Roku. I'm an avid TV watcher and still get to watch almost all of my shows between Hulu, Netflix and Amazon. One downside is that I don't get my HBO and Showtime shows anymore. However, as much as I like those shows, I don't $136/month like them.

Yes it does. This device is a Google TV player and lots more besides. You can download the HULU app from the Google Play store. You can also open the built in Chrome browser to get to the HULU site. Basically this device is a Barebones Linux HTPC with some built in apps.

Hulu (Free) is only available on PC. Hulu Plus is what is available as an app for media streaming on 3rd party devices such cell phones, smart tvs and "Roku."You do have the ability to use other apps on your "Roku" such as: "Playon" & also "Plex." These apps allow you to stream what is already playing on your PC, and stream it over to the Roku. It essentially turns your PC into a server and the Roku into the client/receiver. In this manner, you could theoretically watch Hulu for free by playing it on your PC first.

I do believe it did. I did not keep the unit as it didn't work for more of the web browsing type of streaming I wanted, but the NetFlix, Amazon, Vudu, Hulu I think were all working.

Sorry but no. You can get The Leaf to get local channels in your area. Roku2 XS is a streaming device where you can get Netflix, Hulu Plus , Amazon Prime (with subscription but have free trials to test it out). the higher level Roku's offers more. Apple TV is another streaming device as well.

Boxee has Netflix... but not Hulu Plus. We just bought another ROKU because Boxee doesn't have Hulu Plus and Amazon.We wasted our money with Boxee. Yes you can search the web with Boxee.... but the software to to this is mediocre at best.I just don't bother any more.

Yes, it's listed in the Roku channels. When I installed our Rokus, Vudu gave a $5 credit toward any choice.

It's the Roku, they did that to me also, spent $35.00 on a remote and it was the Roku. They are a rip off. They do not honor your purchase. I have my Roku in a bag sitting here. Worthless...

No but after you have tried to get some good out of this "smart TV" you will wish you hadn't waisted so much time with it and just bought a ROKU. That is what I did and now I am happy with this over priced mistake. :-(Bill in Las Vegas

I would say without a doubt YES, since the Amazon channel has always been a part of the base channel line-up. You even get a $5 credit when ou link a Roku to your Amazon account.

Hulu Plus is not part of the pre loaded packages. Check with Sony support for more information.

Yes, it adds Roku to your TV allowing over a thousand apps such as Netflix, Vudu, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Pandora and many many others.

I purchased the OmniBox and found it less than optimal. It was extremely slow in downloading and kept freezing every few minutes. I returned the box and cancelled my subscription. However, after cancelling and after two months, I just got charged 24.95 for my subscription and no one returns phone calls or e-mails. I now have Roku with a subscription to Netflix and Hulu Plus and it works fine. I also purchased an antenna for a second TV so I can get local channels. I would strongly NOT recommend Omnibox.
