This is due to an upgrade Hulu performed to the Hulu Plus app. This affects multiple devices across almost all electronic manufacturers.
Hulu Plus will no longer work on the TVs listed below. If your television is a part of any of the models on their website, you will no longer be able to watch Hulu. If a subsequent update is sent out the Display will automatically download it when the Display is powered off and once downloaded, will automatically install it. This should work most of the time.
If you know that there is a newer version of the apps available, but the TV does not give you an updating option, you will need to delete the application and then re-install the new one. Check out the list of the Best Streaming Devices on Amazon now! With Chromecast, you can use an app on your phone to cast content directly to your TV.
These newer models do not require you to update your apps manually they update themselves automatically when you arent using your TV.
These models also update their firmware periodically, but you can do this manually yourself if you want to. Vizio TVs equipped with SmartCast make much shorter work of updates. You should see an on-screen progress indicator showing you how far along the update process is.
Allow the TV to update itself without interference, and your TV will reboot and load the latest firmware. You can now open SmartCast TV and see any new apps or features released with the update. If you want to update apps on these models, you have to do it manually. This process requires removing the VIA app and reinstalling it or performing a firmware update. Vizio uses the Yahoo platform to host these apps, so you will see the Yahoo Connected Store when selecting them.
While some TV owners might find their model requires slightly different instructions or navigation, the process should generally be the same. To manually search for and activate an operating system update on a Vizio smart TV, press the menu key on the TVs remote and then navigate to Settings, and then select System from the available options.
In the System section, TV owners will see one of the top options is listed as Check for Updates and selecting this will instruct the TV to manually see if one is available.
If an update is found, the Vizio smart TV will begin to download the new software version and once finished, the TV will restart to complete the process. In these instances, the user will have to wait for the company to automatically roll out the latest version directly to the TV.
Regardless of whether manual updates are supported or not, under the same System section is another option labeled System Information. This is a good place to check what version of the software is currently running on the TV and use that information to check against the latest version available on the Vizio website.
This can make it easier to determine if you should be expecting a Vizio smart TV update anytime soon. Grumpy because of the fact that you have to update your Vizio yourself? Guess what, you probably wouldnt have to, if your Internet was alive and well when the software wanted to update itself! It did want to update itself in the past but it couldnt, just imagine!
