The Internet is the Future for HDTV Success

The Internet is the Future for HDTV Success

The TV industry is changing and it looks like TV manufacturers could lose the battle. In recent years the internet has provided a whole new way to provide content to people. While TVs have tried their hardest to provide internet access to their consumers, to many it just doesn’t seem worth the purchase. Instead they are turning to their computers, tablets, and even their smartphones and watching content through them instead of watching it on a huge 46 inch screen. One of the main reasons why the TV lags behind with providing internet content is to the lack of content available to them. Last year, Google tried to provide a platform that gave TVs the same unlimited internet access that any com...

Google pay TV greenlighted in Kansas City

Google pay TV greenlighted in Kansas City

Posted on Mar 12, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: TVsGoogle

Google’s ambitious project to enter the competitive pay TV market has just passed the first of its many hurdles it must overcome. The search giant was granted approval from the Missouri Public Service Commission to build a new network and infrastructure in Kansas City. The company plans to offer service in both Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas.
The Kansas authorities are still in the process of going over the request. It is in that area that Google began deploying a fiber optic network, and it’s the only area that anyone at Google is even talking about when it comes to pay TV right now. Assumedly Google would want to expand if things initially work out there. But there is still ...

Google TV Unveils Big Surprise Announcement

Google TV Unveils Big Surprise Announcement

Posted on Feb 14, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: TVsGoogle

It began with a simple posting on Google TV's Facebook page late Saturday night: "Get ready for Monday, we have some big announcements!" Within minutes, the tech blogosphere was alight with speculation. Could it be a Sonos-killing streaming media device? Maybe a TV version of Google Nexus? Some other type of new hardware? A software update? Nope. The announcement has been made, and the news was something nobody saw coming.
…an update to the YouTube app for Google TV. No, really. That's it.
And that's why you shouldn't get pumped for vague PR announcements. In any case, Google claims the updated YouTube app is faster and smoother than ever before, and a new Discovery feature allows you to bro...

Google TV UK launch given green light?

Google TV UK launch given green light?

Posted on Aug 26, 2011 by MG15

Google is set to launch its Google TV service in the UK, with Eric Schmidt set to make the announcement at the Edinburgh Television Festival.

This is according to the Telegraph, which believes that the service is to launch in the UK within six months despite it getting lukewarm reviews in the US.

Google TV is a set-top box that allows you to watch online content alongside traditional TV channels.

In the UK this is nothing new; the majority of high-end TVs launched this year allow Smart TV functionality, where you can access web content and the myriad catch-up TV services available.
