how do i set up hulu plus on the new apple tv 4? is it as easy as just entering my email and password or do i need to authenticate on hulu.com to activate the device?
 
Just sign in

Are you sure it's just sign in? For HBO go I need to enter my login info and click login but then I have to go to my computer to authenticate the device on hbo's website with the code given on my Apple tv's screen, does hulu require that login as well?
 
All I did was enter email and password I had registered with Hulu. It let me right in after.

FYI I love the Hulu app so much more than the Netflix app.
 
Same with HBO

Thats because you are using your paid cable service to access HBO. If you subscribe to HBO thru iTunes, its just a sign in. Since Hulu isn't a network like HBO, the obvious answer is you just sign in. The authentication process doesn't apply to Hulu
