My results from searches using Siri on the new Apple TV keep displaying Hulu as an option. The only thing is, I don't have the Hulu app installed and I am not a Hulu subscriber. Is this an error or is it "normal".
To check, I did select Hulu in the search results and was invited to install the app.
This is correct. The page that shows your search results will link you to the Hulu app on the App Store if you do not have it installed.
The search is meant to get you a way to watch the TV Show/Movie you want to watch. It's a really great way to see if a Hulu subscription is something you want to pay for.

Siri results are based upon user location rather than user app use - it's non configurable.
About Search on your Apple TV (4th generation) - Apple Support
Use Siri (in select countries) or the Search app to look for movies and shows across apps on your Apple TV (4th generation). You can search by title, genre, actor, and more. With Siri, you can also refine your search as you go.
When you look for content with Siri or the Search app, Apple TV checks these content providers, with more coming soon:
To look for content in one app at a time, just open the app and use its own search function.
About search
thanks. I disagree that it is a good thing though. Aside from iTunes being displayed which I understand, I really only want results from sources that I already have such as Netflix Or my own tv shows or movies ripped from DVD. When I read reviews of the new ATV, this is how it was described as well. So, kind of stinks.
If you have suggestions or complaints you can always send feedback to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/but being a user forum we can only provide support to help understand how it's designed to work...
Thanks for copying and pasting the information Apple already provides. I read that same information earlier and noticed that it is ambiguous in its wording which is why I posted the question I did here. It is great that these forums have posters who can do this.
I also saw you posted the feedback link as well and it was just as helpful to have that bit of known information repeated. Have a great day!
