TiVo has announced today that TiVo Premiere DVRs are now capable of streaming video from the Hulu Plus library of content. Hulu Plus has mostly television content – and content that isn’t available elsewhere for streaming.
As a promotion, if you start a new TiVo Premiere subscription from now until the end of August, you’ll get six months of Hulu Plus for free. That’s a pretty tempting offer, considering you can then use your subscription on your computer or laptop for this same content in addition to watching it on your TiVo. Existing TiVo Premiere owners can get one month free of Hulu Plus service. Additional Hulu Plus service is $7.99/month.
TiVo has been very aggressive in proving that their set to box is “more than a DVR.” These units can now stream from Netflix, Amazon, Blockbuster, YouTube, Rhapsody, Pandora, and many other services, and now that they’ve added the Hulu Plus content, that just reinforces their leadership position in bringing both broadcast and streaming content to your living room.
