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
