I'm a paid subscriber of both Hulu and Netflix and I'm a commuter that uses public transportation (i.e. subway), unfortunately lack of internet connectivity prevents me from using these services (Hulu/Netflix), so I'm looking for easy way to view Hulu and/or Netflix offline (w/out internet connectivity). disclaimer: I am _NOT_ trying to do anything illegal, I just want to be able to enjoy Hulu & Netflix by storing the content on either a Nexus 7 (preferably) or iPad mini. How can I do it?

How does Google now I'm subscribe to Hulu?
New level of Google creepy for me. Was searching a show and somehow it knew I'm subscribed to Hulu. Check out the pic. It says subscribed under Hulu. I have no idea how I've never used Hulu on my phone or on chrome browser.![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/9s1uB.png)!

How to switch the subtitle language of Hulu on Apple TV
I began watching a show on Hulu. It came up with Spanish subtitles. I want to switch it to English subtitles.

I began watching a show on Hulu. It came up with Spanish subtitles. I want to switch it to English subtitles. I was instructed by a Hulu customer service rep to go to the Hulu website, log in, pull up the show, start playing it, hover the mouse until the control bar appeared near the bottom of the screen, click the gear, select English from the closed captions options, and then log out on the web site which would set it as a global default. I did this, and it did make the show, as seen on my browser, use English subtitles, but this did not affect the same show as seen on Apple TV. However, if I start watching a new show, the subtitles are in English. It's as though Hulu has "committed" me to watching The Handmaid's Tale with Spanish subtitles, and won't allow it to be changed. The customer service rep said this was a "known problem with Apple TV" and that I'd have to wait for Apple to fix it. I'm dubious. Does anyone have experience with the Hulu app on Apple TV, and can suggest how to force a subtitle language change on a series I've already begun watching?

Resetting a black menubar to white?
When I run Hulu Desktop (and certain other programs), they turn the menubar dark (and turn on auto-hide), but they don't put it back to normal when they are done. Is there a way of resetting the menubar to white (and turning off auto-hide) without having to log out and log back in?

Why does Apple TV show screensaver when playing video?
On occasion, our 3rd Gen ATV will display the screensaver while playing video. Once it starts doing this, the only way to get it to stop is by restarting.

On occasion, our 3rd Gen ATV will display the screensaver while playing video. Once it starts doing this, the only way to get it to stop is by restarting. I love my ATV, but this is quite a distraction. So far, I've noticed that this occurs with both Hulu and Netflix. The reports I've seen say that a reboot solved the issue with no follow-ups. For me, that fix is temporary. A few days later, the problem is back again. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is there any way to watch Hulu (or Hulu Plus) on the new Apple TV?
I was hoping Airplay might do this, but when I turn it on in the Hulu Plus app, it only streams the audio to the ATV.
