According to GigaOM.com , don’t expect Hulu Plus to appear any time soon on your TiVo devices supplied by cable companies like Suddenlink, Cox or RCN – despite the fact that it’s slated to come to TiVo’s Premiere DVR soon.

The trouble is that rights holders are resisting subscription-based streaming content being placed next to cable-powered VOD offerings, and they’re preventing services like Hulu Plus and Netflix on any device provided to you by your pay TV operator through licensing clauses.

Suddenlink announced last week that it would love to offer its customers access to Netflix on its Premiere DVRs, but can’t because Netflix isn’t able to deliver its subscription service to DVRs leased by cable companies. Netflix did confirm that it’s because their contracts don’t allow it and now Hulu is reporting the same problem.
