What is Google TV?

Google released a video yesterday which showcases its upcoming Google TV product in action (see the video after the jump). As you might remember, the Internet giant first announced the product at its annual I/O Conference back in May. Unfortunately the demo was rife with technical interference issues which inhibited attendees from seeing the product in action. (This seems to be a common problem for new product demos as attendees often blog live from the event, and utilize wireless connections which interfere with the product on display.) Have no fear because Google breaks it down for us in this two and half minute video.
As we reported back in May, Google TV is not trying to replace pay-TV services, rather it bills itself as enhancing the customer’s existing viewing experience by unifying the customer’s subscription TV service, the Internet and DVR recordings. This concept is not new, but the implementation is innovative. Note that you can watch live TV and also surf the Web via a picture-in-a-Web-browser format.
