Google-Tivo?

By Mark Evans | Published: November 28, 2005
With Tivo prepared to offer searchable, downloadable advertising, I wonder if it enhances or detracts from a Google acquisition? In a previous post, I thought a Tivo-Google marriage made sense because it would offer Google an easy and relatively inexpensive way to establish a foothold in the television market.
