Yoo Hoo! TiVo + YouTube

I am a TiVo guy — been one for more than 7 years and I LOVE their products. So, being a gadget guy, I was excited to hear that TiVo users will be able to watch YouTube clips on the TV by year’s end.

This is the latest move by YouTube to reach beyond the Web’s regular boundaries. Fans of YouTube can alraady view its videos on their cell phones and Apple TV, a box that streams movies from people’s computers to their TV.Now TiVo users with a broadband Internet connection and a TiVo Series3 box, which includes the high-definition model, will be able to search, browse and watch YouTube videos directly on their TVs.

If you can believe it, each month, more than 66 million viewers watch about 2.6 billion videos on YouTube, according to the latest data by Nielsen Online. That’s 57 percent of the total 116.7 million monthly online video viewers. WOW!
