- Existing users
- Existing subscribers got Unlimited DVR automatically; those paying $9.99/month for Enhanced Cloud DVR (or $14.98 with Unlimited Screens) moved to it on April 13 and saw their bills go down (Hulu, Mar 11, 2022).

Live TV subscribers could record as much as they wanted, keep recordings for up to nine months and fast-forward through them, without paying for an add-on. People who had paid for the Enhanced Cloud DVR add-on stopped paying for it.
