The site's outage says most of the Hulu error reports are on the East Coast. "hulu is down on my smart tv ... works on iphone," one Down Detector user reported.
"Surprisingly I can login via my Laptop and stream, but in my Smart TV where Hulu came as a pre-installed app, I am unable to stream," user Sreeejani Chatterjee said.
Hulu's Twitter support account was replying to individual user complaints Saturday morning but had not put out a general statement about known outages on the service.
Some Hulu users say Hulu loading errors are becoming far too frequent.
"What is wrong with Hulu this time it's getting really annoying how it keeps going down every other day this need to be fixed," user Heather Adams wrote.
