Hulu Plus comes to TiVo

By Jeffrey Van Camp Updated May 23, 2011

Unlike Netflix, which seems to speed onto new platforms, Hulu takes its time. In September 2010, TiVo announced that Hulu Plus would be coming to its line of DVR boxes. After eight months, the service is finally launching. Today TiVo revealed that Hulu Plus is now available to subscribers. Better yet, those who just purchased a TiVo Premiere DVR and service will get six months of free Hulu Plus. Current TiVo subscribers also get a one-month free trial of the service, which regularly costs $7.99 per month. Find out more at Tivo.com/hulu.

Hulu Plus is just the latest service to join the TiVo platform. Subscribers can also access Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Instant Video, and Blockbuster. CNET reports that the Hulu Plus interface (seen above) on TiVo is pretty standard to the interface on the PlayStation 3 and other devices. However, the service’s search feature isn’t yet connected to Hulu videos. This is expected to be fixed soon.

Below is a cheesy video TiVo made to introduce the service.

Hulu Live vs. YouTube TV: How to pick the best live streaming service

YouTube TV and Hulu apps on the Roku homescreen.

When it comes to the best streaming services in the U.S., two stand out. And that makes sense because Hulu With Live TV and YouTube TV are the most popular live TV streaming services in the country.

How popular, you ask? Hulu with Live TV had some 4.5 million paid subscribers at the end of 2022. YouTube TV — well, we don't actually know how many subscribers it has. Google last gave an official update of more than 5 million subscribers in July 2022, and it's since said that it has kept adding subscribers. But it hasn't given us any new numbers since then.

YouTube TV finally gets the 4K Plus plan’s price right

YouTube TV 4K Plus channel.

The price of the 4K Plus add-on for YouTube TV always has been a bit weird. Technically the add-on has been $20 a month since its launch in mid-2021, but subscribers have always gotten the first year of service for half that. And that will remain true come April 2023, when the YouTube TV base plan goes up to $73 a month and the add-on changes price to $10 a month, with the first year of service at $5 a month.

That's a much more palatable price for an add-on that's absolutely an extravagance.

How to cancel your Disney Plus subscription

So you've ripped through the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, been to that galaxy far, far away several times, and devoured all the Pixar films, all 34 seasons of The Simpsons, and everything else Disney Plus has to offer. Now, you've decided that you're done. Or maybe you just want to save a little money for a bit.

Whatever your reasons are, if it's time to delete your Disney Plus account, the process is relatively straightforward. Actually, the only thing that will make the steps different for each user is which devices you used to create a Disney+ account in the first place.
