TiVo announces partnership with YoutTube


From the computer monitors to the TV sets, YouTube videos will start showing on the boob tube.

Tara Maitra, Vice President and General Manager for Content Services at TiVo said: “YouTube APIs enable TiVo to provide an extremely rich and highly personalized viewing experience for streamed video on the television.”

Reminiscent of a similar Apple initiative last year, this partnership means TiVo users will be able to search, stream, and watch high-quality videos from YouTube right on their TV screens. There's some drawback though. The service requires broadband connection that can only work with more recent hardware versions.

The service will be available in the later part of the year.
