Although Hulu's new live TV bundle is set to launch before spring is over, details about the service (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/10/hulus-live-tv-service-on-ios/) have been **ticeably scant ahead of the its launch. Today, sources speaking with TechCrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/13/hulus-live-tv-service-to-cost-39-99-per-month-with-ads-sources-say/) who have k**wledge of Hulu's plans have claimed that the new cord-cutting bundle will cost subscribers exactly $39.99 per month, which comes in right under Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins' promise of a bundle that would cost users "under $40" per month (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/05/hulu-cbs-live-tv-service/).

The price of the service's add-on cloud DVR feature has also been detailed, which will reportedly cost users $20 each month to gain extensive video recording functionality. Subscribers to Hulu's base $39.99 package will have a limited DVR feature (small storage space, ** fast-forwarding), but Hulu's alleged $20 DVR add-on package would include "unlimited" storage capped at 200 hours of programming as well as allow for fast-forwarding.

http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2017/01/hulu-live-tv-1.jpg The live TV service will allow for a certain amount of recording and storage space in its base package â?? a feature thatâ??s quickly becoming a standard offering for these types of businesses. But this recording space will **t be a fully functional DVR, as it will **t support fast-forwarding.

However, Hulu is considering an add-on package to its live TV service that will include an unlimited DVR with up to 200 hours of programming, as well as unlimited streams. (There may be a cap on concurrent streams outside the home, though â?? weâ??ve heard three.)

This add-on bundle will allow users to optionally upgrade their live TV service with the cloud DVR and unlimited streams, and will be priced under $20 per month, sources tell us. Concurrent streaming on devices in the same home is said to be capped at three, and that number may lessen for users who don't opt-in for the cloud DVR bundle. In total, the Hulu Live TV bundle would cost upwards of $60 on the high-end, which does still come in under most low- to medium-level traditional cable packages. Subscribers currently using Hulu's $7.99/month or $11.99/month (ad-free) on-demand options will simply have to pay the difference of an upgrade to the live TV service when it launches.

Reports about included channels have been circulated in the past -- including CBS and NBC -- but the look of the specific channel bundle that will be on offer, and if there might be more than one tier, remains a mystery. Most packages, like DirecTV **w, give users tiers ranging from $35/month to $70/month to access more channels. In the original rumor (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/05/02/hulu-cable-tv-service/), Disney and Fox were floated as potential partners with Hulu's service, and Time Warner's stable of channels (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/03/time-warner-10-percent-hulu/) will also help bolster the channels available to subscribers.

Although the cord-cutting bundle options have become plentiful in the past few years, ranging from Sling TV (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/06/13/sling-tv-launches-apple-tv/) to Playstation Vue (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/17/playstation-vue-**w-available-on-apple-tv/) to DirecTV **w (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/30/directv-**w-launches-ios-app-store/), Hulu's alternative will be interesting as the first to combine live television with exclusive video on-demand options. One of the most important aspects of Hulu's bundle -- its actual launch date -- has yet to be rumored, but the company has until June 20 to debut the service before the end of spring.
