Seaglass TV Wants to Make Channel Surfing Less Painful
A forthcoming Google TV and Android tablet player that sorts an existing TV service into personal categories, favourites, and a faster-to-browse lineup.
Field notes
Seaglass TV is presented as a layer over television services that viewers already possess, not as a channel seller. Its central performance example uses the same 11,325-channel list in both tests, reporting 1.7 seconds versus 38.4 seconds for a conventional playlist load. The proposed setup keeps service credentials on the television and lets a phone handle keyboard entry, browsing, and search. A saved arrangement can also be copied across household TVs and Android tablets.
