What about the TiVo app on my computer, iPad, mobile device? Can I use it with Hulu?

You can use the TiVo app on iOS or Android to search for movies and TV shows, and if a particular movie or show is available on Hulu, the TiVo app will indicate its availability. From there, you can either:

1. Launch the Hulu app on your TiVo device and watch on your TV (you will need to use your TiVo remote control to control the Hulu app on TiVo, or the TiVo arrow key controls within the TiVo iOS/Android app)

2. Launch the Hulu app on your iOS / Android device and watch directly on your phone or tablet (you will exit the TiVo iOS/Android app at this point).
