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.
