Although the WSJ doesn't name its sources, they seemed to know an awful lot about Google's plans with Dish. <br /> <br />The set-top device would reportedly allow users to organize Dish's TV content, plus web video from YouTube, creating a custom viewing schedule. <br /> <br />Google isn't commenting about this test to reporters, and the program is apparently limited to some Google employees and their families. The device allows you to search for shows using a keyboard, rather than a remote control. There are no details on how Dish shows will be tagged and organized, though, or how the Google box compares to recently-announced TiVo offerings. </p> <p><a href="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2010/03/09/google-tv-google-and-dish-network-test-a-set-top-box/">Google TV?: Google and Dish Network test a set-top box</a></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6214430959664794120-6044437021481162507?l=ooedbone.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><br />
