We've heard of Google TV...You know...those TV boxes made popular by Logitech and Sony and now Vizio, that make any HDTV into a SMART HDTV. Well, now Google has announced Google Fiber TV.
Google Fiber brought fast internet speeds of 1000mbps to Kansa City and along with that transition, they introduce Google Fiber TV bringing along with it a DVR, mobile apps and voice search.
It's part-DVR part-cable box, with the ability to watch and record all the channels you expect, via Google's new network...You'll be able to record 500 hours of TV, and can record a ridiculous eight shows all at once.
Google also announced apps for iOS and Android that let you search for things to watch (by text or by voice), and control both live TV and DVR. The Google Nexus 7, for instance, will come with a Fiber TV app — and there's a free Nexus 7 included in the TV package.
A Free Nexus 7? How cool is that! Now, how much will this TV package set you back? Well, according to Google Execs, the TV plan along with the Fiber plan, will cost you $120/month plus a $300 construction fee. But, if you sign a 2-year contract, they will wave the $300 fee. Do you think it's worth it?
Would you like to see Google Fiber TV to come to a city near you?
