Is there anywhere I can watch House Hunters online?

[Quill 61,634]

Probably a very silly question. 🤔 I really want to quit our satellite TV. I think of other things I don’t or reluctantly do pay for every month that brings waaaaaay more usefulness/enjoyment than TV. We almost totally watch only: HGTV, Food TV, and two news stations dh watches. I find watching news totally unnecessary now and I get news from apps, email subscriptions, radio and other sources (like here). 

Im not sure how I could get a food show equivalent. And I don’t know about HGTV. 

Recs welcome.

HGTV is one of the channels you can get with a HULU subscription. It's not free, though. I think it's around $45.00 a month.

None of these are online but...

We signed up for Hulu last Black Friday (weekend?) for 99 cents a month. If you are interested and can wait a few weeks, maybe Hulu will run the same offer. 

My children pay for Spotify and get Hulu free w/ it. I don't know if that offer is still good, though. 

 Lastly, maybe on Roku???

I could try that. My son has Spotify, so I wonder if he has Hulu as well. 

We don’t have a good internet situation where I live, though, and I have not wanted to sign up for Hulu in case it doesn’t work. We have no cable access, so we have a MiFi hotspot unit for internet. Plus internal data on our devices.

Most of the online streaming things you pay for are no contract.  So that means you can cancel at any time with no early termination fee or anything like that.  So maybe wait and see if Hulu puts together another 99c a month promo deal for the end of the year, sign up and then if it doesn't work, just cancel, and you will only be out a month or two.

I do have the HGTV Go app on my roku.  And I very quickly scanned it....it is showing me that there are 20 episodes of season 155 or HouseHunters for free.  I am going to be honest and I stopped searching at that point, there could be other free seasons available....or maybe not.  And there could be other HGTV shows that have free episodes or seasons available.  I also have the Food Network Go app on my roku, but honestly, have never used it because I have sling, which has a fabulous on demand section.

YouTube has an endless supply of House Hunters episodes.

I cut the cord years ago and if you look at TLC, NBC, ABC, Food Network etc you can get tons of free tv.

I forgot to add www.dailymotion.com

Really good for Below Deck (bravo) and 90 Day Fiancé (TLC) My guilty pleasures!

If your internet is that crappy it won't be worth it to cut the cord.

If you can upgrade your internet it might be.  There are online cable options you can stream that include HGTV & Food network.  Look into Sling and YouTube.

Both channels also have their own roku apps and seem to be slowly moving towards providing more free content (with commercials), but it's still limited to the earliest seasons of most shows.  In a few years it might be different.
