Good news for Apple TV owners: Hulu Plus was quietly added to the device’s list of options on Tuesday.

The service went live Tuesday morning, a Hulu rep confirmed. Apple TV currently offers streaming for Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo and Apple’s own array of movies, TV shows and podcasts. Hulu Plus costs $7.99 a month the same price as Netflix’s streaming-only service.

Though not as high-profile as the iPhone or the iPad, Apple TV has been a hit for Apple, selling 4 million units over the past fiscal year. Last quarter, Apple sold 1.3 million of the devices compared to Microsoft’s 1.1 million Xbox 360s.
