Google is testing a new search service that will make it easier for people to find their favourite TV shows and YouTube videos, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The trial is being carried out in association with Dish Network, the second biggest satellite television provider in the United States. The new service enables television viewers to more easily find the shows they want to watch, discover content from internet video sites such as YouTube, and create a personalised TV schedule, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The service runs on a new range of set-top boxes that use a version of Google's Android operating system, and aims to bring together traditional broadcast television with the increasing number of online video services. The trial is limited to a small selection of Google employees, say sources close to the project. Both Google and Dish Network have refused to comment on rumours about the trial...

Comment: So what about these 111 or so patents that Blinkx are meant to have? I thought they related to video/IPTV search technologies on the web? So why is it that every fucker from Yahoo to Google to Apple are launching or have launched web video/IPTV services without even a nod to Blinkx let alone any royalties?
In short - what the FUCK are the utterly, totally clueless muppets running Blinkx DOING?
