Google buys SageTV

Google buys SageTV

Over the weekend, Google made an interesting acquisition which is said to help bolster its not very successful Google TV services. The search engine giant bought over SageTV, a company that's known for the SageTV Media Center: a DVR (digital video recorder) and HTPC (home theater personal computer) program that turns your Mac OS X, Windows and Linux computers with hardware-based TV tuner cards into TV-compatible devices. SageTV has also created the SageTV Placeshifter: an app that functions similar to Slingbox.
