Hulu Plus is available on one device at a time. If folks have been able to play it on two devices at a time, don't expect to continue doing so in the future.
You can find the specific details regarding your subscription to Hulu Plus at any time by clicking on Your Account. You agree that your Hulu Plus account is for individual use only and your Hulu Plus account is limited to only one simultaneous stream at a time. Additionally, you agree that for various reasons, such as restrictions from content licensors and other limitations or considerations from third parties, certain Content that may be accessible through one Property may not be accessible through other Properties.

On streams that support CC, if you press Up or Down while the stream is playing, a CC option will be present on the status bar that pops up. Highlight it and press Select to change the setting.

I don't think you had to go to Roku support, its right in the Hulu terms of use:

I'm sure if you ask Roku about whether you can stream to multiple devices on the Netflix $8.99 plan they will likely say "No" also. Afterall, that is what is in the Netflix terms of use. Of course many people can still stream netflix to 2 devices on the $8.99 plan despite those terms.
You are right that it may be locked down at anytime (I've been saying that for months about Netflix), but right now, it still works for me. I just tried streaming on 3 devices and it wouldn't allow streaming to the 3rd device (which is supposedly exactly how the Netflix $8.99 plan works).

I have been subscribing since September and now have a $8 early adopter credit, so appears they are giving existing members a month free. Now to get home and enjoy it on my new HD TV I just set-up last night
FYI, I don't think its technically a month free. Its $2 per month you paid $9.99 (September, October, November) + $2 credit to account for the fact that everyone gets the first week free now. They explained it in the email they sent out.
Now to work on the referrals, maybe trade buying a box of girl scout cookies or two for a referral.

When they first made the beta available for the PS3 I registered my complaint about commercials... With 3 Roku players, two PS3s, various computers, etc. I guess it shouldn't be that hard to get $8 worth of entertainment out of it... Besides - every little bit to drag the "content providers" into the current century helps right? I figure if after a couple months I end up not using it I can always cancel...
