With Spectrum’s TV Choice and TV Stream plans, which are available if you have internet service through the cable company, you can now add cloud DVR service for $5 per month. So far, though, the company hasn’t published any information about this service on its website. The only way to add it is to contact customer service and inquire about it on your own.

Still, cloud DVR is a big step forward for Spectrum, and it demonstrates how cable companies might try to fend off cord-cutting as they continue to bleed traditional TV subscribers. It also has some limitations, which serve as a reminder that you’re still dealing with the cable company after all. Read the full column on TechHive.

You don’t have to do anything to enable the higher audio quality streams. Provided you have a 5.1 system and enough bandwidth, Netflix will boost the bitrate automatically. It’ll also try to predict changes in network conditions, and drop the bitrate to avoid buffering if you’re short on bandwidth. The company has previously rolled out similar technology for streaming video; it’s about time audio got its due.

Hulu delays interface upgrades: Back in January, Hulu started teasing some big improvements to its TV apps, including a 14-day guide for live TV and tile menus that fit more information on the screen. Unfortunately, Hulu now says it won’t launch those improvements until the summer, according to Cord Cutters News.

Interface gripes haven’t stopped Hulu from growing, though. The service now has 28 million subscribers, up 40 percent over the last year. A recent price drop to $6 per month for the ad-supported version probably helped, as did free subscriptions for Spotify Premium subscribers. Along with the new metrics, Hulu announced several more original series to come, including two new live-action Marvel series and a foray into food shows to better compete with Netflix.

Android TV’s ascent: Last Friday, I caught up with Google’s Android TV head after reporting in January that the company planned to start taking the platform more seriously. Google now says it has more than 5,000 apps and games on Android TV, up from 3,000 around this time last year. While there are still a lot of gaps in the app catalog–Hulu with Live TV, DirecTV Now, and Nick/Nick Jr. among them–Google says it’s in discussions with all of them.

Android TV occupies a unique role among streaming platforms, as it allows any company to build a streaming box or stick and decide what features to prioritize. Channel Master, for instance, used Android TV for its Stream+ over-the-air DVR, and Nvidia used it to make a powerful streaming and gaming box. Still, the platform’s never quite reached its potential for consumers, in large part because of Google’s seeming indifference. It’s refreshing to hear the company acknowledge those past missteps and commit to better support from here on out.

A couple related tidbits: Google tells met hat Amazon Prime Video is coming to all Android TV devices around midsummer, and we may hear about new hardware in the next couple weeks.

Also worth noting: The Tablo Dual over-the-air DVR is back down to $100 on Amazon (reg. $140), and the AirTV DVR is down to $80 (reg. $120). See last week’s over-the-air DVR price comparison for more details.
