Usually with Hulu the shows that need a cable login are made available no more than a day after it airs. It’s not an Apple product but Chromecast has been my go-to lately, especially if you have TV shows downloaded to your computer and you use a Chrome plugin like Video Stream. That works really well on Mac and is super Voiceover compatible. Des Delgadillo Reporter desdelgadi...@gmail.com (562) 652-3415
