TiVo has announced an agreement with YouTube to bring millions of online videos to your television screen. “TiVo’s strategy is to bridge the gap between Web video and television and make as much content available as possible for our subscribers,” said Tara Maitra, TiVo’s vice president and general manager for content services. With Apple TV offering similar content the lines between television and the computer are beginning to blur, just as some futurists had predicted... not that it was that big of a stretch! YouTube clips will be streamed to the television as opposed to the downloading of television content to a hard drive that is customary for the TiVo device. “TiVo should be the best experience for all video options, whether it’s coming from cable, satellite or off of a server,” Ms. Maitra said.
