You do not need cable or DirectTV to have Hulu. You can sign up for Hulu directly and stream content over the internet. Hulu offers two plans: the basic Hulu plan and the Hulu + Live TV plan. The basic Hulu plan includes access to Hulu's on-demand library of TV shows and movies, as well as some live TV channels. The Hulu + Live TV plan includes access to the basic Hulu plan, as well as over 65 live TV channels, including news, sports, and entertainment channels.
