yeah, the same happens for me - i have a relatively recent vizio tv, and the hulu app is terrible - video skips and freezes or the whole app crashes. I've taken to just using my mediapc to run hulu in a chrome tab instead. Both devices are hooked to the same ethernet hub, and other things like prime video and netflix run just fine on the vizio.

It’s the TV. The built in apps on all smart TVs are subpar.

Keep in mind that the Netflix and Amazon prime apps on the TV work fine. Even the Plex app works well. Just the Hulu app that stinks. I don't disagree that it's likely a tough platform to develop for (and having a htpc is super useful still) but it's really just the Hulu app that is unusable.

Strange. I also have no issues with it, although I don't like the UI.
Does Hulu work on your normal computers (e.g. not a network-related issue)? Everything updated?
I don't know if this works or not, but you might want to try and plug it into a Mac and launch Console to get a sense of what's going on....
I'm glad it works for you, but it's pretty awful for me.
