How do I fix error 94 on Hulu?

1. Perform a power cycle

A complete power cycle should put your media devices, internet connection, andHuluapp back on track. So, switch off your devices (including modem and router).

Wait a few minutes, then switch them back on and see if the error code still appears.

2. Force stop the Hulu app

3. Clear cookies and cache

On devices running onWindows,Android, oriOS, cached data is usually found in the storage/privacy section of the Settings menu. Alternatively, you can use a more performant tool, such asCCleaner(either the free or the paid version).

Clearing the cached data helps to improve streaming conditions, as well as to get rid of possible corrupted files that got randomly installed.

4. Make sure that both the Hulu app and your device are updated

Many problems are caused by outdated apps. So check for available updates in the app store oryour device’s settings menu.

5. Disable your VPN connection if you have any

If you’re using a VPN connection for an extra layer of online security and privacy, we recommend that you turn it off. It can sometimes cause incompatibility between the ISP and the servers.

It is worth mentioning that users have reported receiving error 94 only on smart TVs; when they tried connecting toHuluon another device (mobiles or laptops), it worked.

6. Try an alternative streaming service app

Having difficult times while watching your favorite shows or movies, may cause temporary annoyance. In that matter, we suggest Disney+ as an alternative streaming service, but without you having to discard the Hulu app.

Just by accessing your Hulu account and going for an upgrade, in addition to Hulu you get ESPN+ for unlimited sports TV, Disney+ for unlimited streaming and download your favorite originals from Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, National Geographic, ad-free entertainment, the capacity to watch on 4 different screens at once, and much more, for a monthly subscription.
