If, like us, this announcement is the cause for some deja vu, it’s because Hulu and TiVo originally announced in September that the service would be coming to the DVR/connected device. Eight months later, the two companies have finally made good on their promise.
Perhaps in a bid to entice would-be TiVo/Hulu Plus owners, Hulu is offering a six-month free trial to customers who buy a TiVo Premiere from Tivo.com or retailers until August 30, 2011. While we’re not sure that six months of Hulu Plus service is enough of an incentive to purchase a TiVo Premiere, it’s a nice gesture.
Since launching last summer, Hulu Plus has taken some lessons from the Netflix playbook, rolling out support for its subscription offering to a variety of connected devices, video game consoles, Blu-ray players and HDTV sets.
