Hulu Live
Why won't Hulu Live work with T-Mobile Internet? Looking the question up online says:
"T-Mobile Home Internet supports most video streaming services, like YouTube TV or Netflix. However, at the moment, Hulu + Live TV is not supported due to a technical requirement in delivering the service. We're working closely with Hulu to resolve this as quickly as possible," a T-Mobile spokesperson said in a statement.
This is very unacceptable in today's market. With Hulu being a cloud supported application, it should take nothing to support the service. It's a simple data service that should be provided and supported. 5G is just a carrier, it's a link to internet services. Why is it, the service is not supported? I would like a deeper technical answer as to why such a simple thing is not 'supported'?

Has anyone tried connecting their streaming device (ie - firestick) through a separate router connected via Ethernet to the TMobile Gateway, in lieu of using the TMobile gateway's router functionm. Interested in learning if this is a potential workaround so that the IP addy is stable? OR if somewhere downstream the gateway still broadcasts its own dynamic IP addy in the signal to Hulu?

Thanks BobT - I kind of figured that would be the case, but not a networking pro....just know enough to be dangerous sometimes!
I've looked into some of the other content providers like YouTube, sling, Paramount, etc...unfortunately Hulu is the only one I've found with all the channels my wife and I watch, within it's lineup using the DVR function (in addition to LiveTV) to blast through commercials. In this regard, I really miss my cable subscription package, but not the yr/yr 11-20% cost increases, or living hearing my neighbor's tv through the walls of our homes (I now live almost a.mile away from my nearest neighbor between two cornfields in the country). So everywhere ya look, there's a trade off I guess ;-)

The issue is with the location requirements. T-Mobile's Home Internet uses cellular, which can't give an accurate location and in a lot of cases, can't even issue an IP within 100 miles of where the modem actually is. This location restriction being within a very close radius of the Hulu's Live TV subscribers billing address is why Live TV isn't compatible with T-Mobile's Home Internet service currently.
