Everything works fine as far as watching tv, dvd etc. using the surround system. However, whenever I launch Netflix or Hulu I can only get sound through my tv speakers. There is no way I can figure out how to add those on the input menu in either the receiver or tv software. All connections (tv, dvd, cable box) are made using hdmi.
If you are 100% sure that both the TV and receiver have ARC, and that you've connected your HDMI cable to the ARC connections on both devices, and your HDMI cable can support ARC (should, but double check the specs), then in theory it should work. But as @wuzzzer suggests, using an optical cable to carry the sound from the TV will achieve the same goal and save you some frustration.
I had a similar issue with my older Denon AVR-4311Ci. It was relegated to the bedroom and I got a new bedroom TV (LG CX OLED). Both say ARC - not really compatible. Ended up the Denon ARC was "old" spec. I bought a new model (2020 or 21? Yamaha - RX-V4A) receiver and all works great. Not as powerful as the Denon - but it is the bedroom.
I use ARC and the HDMI cables are the same unless you want 4k then a "upgrade" is needed. Each TV uses a selected HDMI port for ARC (my Sony is #2) and ARC must be commanded on in the menu. I use OTA on my TV and use the ARC for audio.

With the busy, on-the-go lifestyle of an entrepreneur, it can be good for your mental health to take a break and watch some TV. It can be a positive distraction. The right shows can teach you something or just simply be relatable to you and your startup and leave you feeling inspired and motivated.
To help you get the most from your downtime, we compiled a list of the best TV show to stream on Netflix, Hulu, YouTube TV, and beyond. Here is our list of shows that every entrepreneur should be watching:
This TV show is a three-part documentary series that tells the life of Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and co-founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

In 2004 Elizabeth Holmes dropped out of Stanford University to start a company to revolutionize healthcare. Theranos was born. Theranos is a blood-testing startup that claimed to devised blood tests that only required small amounts of blood and could be performed rapidly using small devices. Elizabeth Holmes was valued at $9 billion, and was the youngest female billionaire in the world. Two years later, the company was cited by the SEC for fraud. This documentary investigates the rise and fall of Theranos, and who is responsible.
I was a sprint customer and had hulu thru sprint, when tmobile bought out sprint, they still continued my service/account with hulu, its included in my tmobile plan, but I cant seem to log into hulu any longer and access the account without paying for it. Tmobile changed my hulu account setting now I cant view hulu. how do I get hulu back if its included in my tmobile plan?
You sent me a text telling me that as of the 24th of January that you would be offering Hulu on my plan. I went to set it up and it's not letting me set it up without paying for it. How do I set up Hulu so I don't get charged?
I have been reading that since T-Mobile/Netflix have downgrade customers to Netflix to with ads that T-Mobile would be offering Hulu for 6 or 12 months depending on your Netflix subscription. you had previous to January 5, 2024. I have not seen anything on my benefits page at T-Mobile indicating this. I was aware of the change to Netflix but T-Mobile is dropping the ball here for customers who would like to add this benefit. Information seems to be consistent on various sites but T-Mobile should be posting it somewhere customers can get this information direct without having to call in. Poor execution.
For Zack, maybe you should have read some articles about it before signing up for Hulu. You need a code for the offer. What I understood from T-Mobile is that they are sending these notifications in waves. You have to wait your turn. like I said, I looked everywhere and the sites that I did find did not work until I received the text message that gave me the code. T-Mobile customer service wont be able to help you without that code. If you have an existing account at Hulu cancel it before using the T-Mobile code. You should read the instructions all the way through before signing up. It worked for me and I got Disney+ w/ads for $2 plus tax. Be patient, T-Mobile has a lot of customers and breaking the messaging network isnt going to do anyone any good.
Now, the caveat. Depending on what plan you had on Netflix will depend on what type of Hulu subscription you will be eligible for. former Sprint, TMobile new 5 G plans will get it as well as those who had Netflix prior to Jan 5 2024 will get it since the downgrade to Netflix w/ads. Depends on if you had Basic of Standard will determine your subscription to Hulu. I believe its a 6 month or 12 month subscription. I believe the 12 month subscription to Hulu is life-time, you just need to renew every year. Of course life-time means whenever T-Mobile and Hulu change this promotion up. I do not work for T-Mobile so whatever said hear is not a guarantee.because this was my experience. Good luck.
Netflix has cracked down on the use of VPN's and other location hiders and the software will recognise when one is in use. Netflix will work abroad (I don't know about Hulu) but you won't see the same films and shows that you'll see in your home country due to licensing isues.
I had this same experience last year, but while we lived in Italy, Unblock-US worked. I also found that with any VPN (usually I use HideMyAss on my laptop and hook up to a TV using an HDMI cable) I could stream CBS and PBS.
If you have internet service at home, you can always set up a VPN at home (hire someone or have a tech-savvy friend do it). This is something I did myself and know how to do - I'm assuming you wouldn't. Yes, it would cost you a one-time fee if you have to pay someone, but there would be no monthly fee, and when you connect to it from anywhere you are connecting to your own home network. Netflix and Hulu aren't going to block you on that.
I have been able to use Netflix (via their mobile app) in every country I have visited, even third-world countries; never been blocked. They only catch is that you are limited to Netflix's own shows. The Hollywood studio movies don't show up in the choices.
Alan, For those of us who travel for many weeks, it can be a great pleasure to spend an evening in with a home cooked dinner and a movie. We rent apartments often and cook in about half the time. After an 8-to-10 hour day of exploring and discovery in a foreign language, having my feet up with a glass of wine and a movie hits the spot!
I usually keep my mouth shut when I hear the "You shouldn't be in your hotel room anyway!" thing. I'm not a night owl. When traveling I like to have dinner in or out, maybe go for a walk, and then relax in a hotel watching a movie or a couple TV shows I like.
Don't feel bad. I watch TV shows and movies while traveling abroad as well. If I'm on a train with beautiful scenery, I'll usually look out the window, but often the scenery is nothing special, so I'll sometimes watch something on my phone. If I get back to my hotel early enough in the evening I'll also watch something but usually I am getting back late enough that I just want to get to bed.
I think it should be "to each his/her own" in what they do during their down time. In my most recent trip, I was traveling for 7 months. I spent a total of 4 months in the U.K., Scotland, and Ireland, and 90 days spread between Germany, Hungary, Poland, Belgium and France. I rented apartments as my stays were generally a week or more with a few 2 or 3 nighters. I enjoyed having entertainment in the evenings after long days of being out or on the few occasions I was in "sight-see" overload mode. I did not have any fancy vpn or back door things, just used my travel laptop and my existing Netflix and Hulu accounts. As previously noted I was unable to use HBO Now.
With young children in tow my wife and I have little choice but to spend the evenings in whilst they're asleep. During such times we often do what the locals do (much advocated here on RS) and watch Netflix/browse the internet.
The point is that you don't need a VPN to access Netflix, possibly Hulu as well. If you're in a country served by Netflix you can use the service without relying on a VPN. You can log into your account but you won't be able to see or access those films and TV shows that are not licensed for broadcast in the country you're in. I've been able to use Netflix in all the countries I've been to recently, with or without my VPN being on (I use HMA). What I can't do is set my VPN to a UK address and then try to view the Netflix offerings that are available in the UK.
