Tivo Talking to Google and Yahoo

CNET has learned through an anonymous source that Tivo is in partnership talks with Yahoo and Google. A new partnership may result that brings together the vidoe on the internet to playback on your living room TV through the TV box. Moreover an equity investment or outright acquisition is also in the cards.

"A deal to cooperate could happen quickly, but then the details would have to be worked out," the first source said. "The search companies need to work with companies like TiVo because they have access to the living room, and they own a television interface."
