How to Cancel Hulu on Roku
Whether you’re using an external Roku device or the Roku smart TV, canceling Hulu can be done either from the channel list or the channel store. The following steps will help you cancel your Hulu Subscription directly from your Roku device:
Step 1: Go to the home screen by pushing the “home” button on your Roku remote.
Step 2: Select “channel store” on the menu available.
Step 3: Under the channel store menu, select “streaming channels”. An alternative way to get here is by using the navigation buttons from your Home-Screen, to locate the Hulu App.
Step 4: Highlight the Hulu Channel/app and press the asterisk or star button on your remote. This action will pop up an options dialogue box (more like tight clicking on your PC).
Step 5: Select manage subscription and an additional subscription management option will be displayed
Step 6: Select “Cancel Subscription”.
Step 7: A confirmation box will pop up, requesting that you want to confirm the cancellation and the immediate removal of this channel, or whether to keep it until the subscription ends. If you choose to cancel and remove it immediately, the app will be taken down, and you will no longer be able to use it. If, on the other hand, you choose to keep it until the subscription ends, the subscription will be canceled immediately to avoid renewal. However, our access to Hulu remains until the end of your current billing cycle. Moving forward from the end of your current billing cycle, Hulu will not charge you subscription bills. Be informed that this delayed cancellation does not apply to those using the free trial version of Hulu or any other channel on Roku. That is, if you’re using the free trial version of any of the channels on Roku and decide to cancel, the cancellation is effective from the moment it is confirmed. You lose access to Hulu or the canceled channel immediately.
Kindly note, that to cancel other subscriptions from your Roku device the same steps can be applied.
How to Cancel Your Subscription directly from Hulu
Step 1: Go to www.Hulu.com and sign in using your Hulu account details.
Step 2: Go to your account page
Step 3: Under “subscription”, select cancel.
Step 4: Confirm cancellation.
Step 5: Follow the remaining onscreen prompts to complete the cancellation.
If you only wish to take a break from Hulu and not cancel your subscription, there is the option of pausing your subscription. Please be informed that this option is only available on the Hulu platform. It is not available to third parties and annual subscribers. When your subscription is paused, it becomes effective on the first day of your next billing cycle. See the steps below on how to pause your Hulu subscription.
Step 1: Go to www.Hulu.com and sign in using your Hulu account details.
Step 2: Go to your account page
Step 3: Under your “subscription”, select pause. The “pause your subscription” is at the bottom of the subscription section.
Step 4: Set the pause duration to 2 weeks (14 days).
Step 5: Click “submit”.
After the specified duration, your Hulu subscription will cancel from Roku automatically. If you choose to cancel your subscription while the pause is on, there will be no extra charges applied. The day your subscription is reactivated, becomes your new billing date and you will be charged for your subscription every month from that date. Although you may have set the pause duration for two weeks, you can visit your account page to reactivate it at any time with no extra charges.
How to Resubscribe on Roku
Usually, a subscription from a channel store or Roku renews at the end of your billing cycle. If this doesn’t happen, you will have to resubscribe manually.
To do this, go to your account page on Roku, click on subscription in the subscription section, select any subscription plan of your choice, input your Roku password, and confirm your subscription. Please be advised that this process may differ, depending on the model of your Roku device.
