blinkx TV Introduces Search Engine for TV Content.

blinkx has launched blinkx TV, an Internet search engine that lets viewers seek out TV content from their computer. The software makes both TV and radio programs from 20 international broadcasters, including the BBC, ITN and Sky News, fully searchable on demand and it has also struck an agreement to search all Fox News Channel broadcasts.

Because blinkx captures and indexes the entire video stream directly from the television, consumers can get straight to the clip they want and find the exact point they want to watch or listen to, eliminating material that is not of interest, including advertisements. They establish the link by entering a few words into the query box.

Blinkx TV search is free and can be accessed @ www.blinkx.tv
