Digital Trends – Mentioned within an official Hulu blog post by CEO Jason Kilar, Hulu has gained over 1.5 million premium subscribers to the Hulu Plus service. This brings Hulu in line with the same amount of premium subscriber as DVR service TiVo according to SplatF’s Dan Frommer, but still lags far behind the 25 million Netflix subscribers. Both Hulu Plus and Netflix’s streaming-only package are priced at $7.99 per month for each service.
