"TiVo is in talks with Internet search giants Google and Yahoo over a possible deal aimed at bridging television and the Web, CNET News.com has learned.

"A partnership between TiVo and a major Internet search engine would offer expansion opportunities for both. TiVo has long talked about becoming the ‘Google of TV,’ eventually enabling its 3 million subscribers to search for and watch any broadcast or broadband media. Though TiVo opened the door for video downloads straight from the Web, it does not yet offer such a feature.

"Meanwhile, Google and Yahoo are investing heavily in video services."
