Yahoo Connects PC to TV, Turns It into DVR

Published on April 28, 2006
Yahoo has released free software, in beta, that turns a PC into a digital video recorder (DVR), writes CNET (via MarketingVOX). Using Yahoo Go for TV, users plug their computer into their TVs' video and audio input connections, allowing the computer to record and play back on the TV the recorded shows. The software allows the playing or showing on TV of DVDs, music, photos or other content downloaded to a computer. A TV/computer combination seems an optimal way of reaching consumers both for media and advertising.
