Google is reportedly planning to launch an unlimited movie subscription service in the UK.

The company is still desperately searching for ways to make money out of its online video-sharing website YouTube, which – despite various content deals with big name record companies – remains something of a pet project at Mountain View.


According to a report from the New York Post, Google is looking to offer a service similar to that provided by US-based Netflix and Amazon, which has been fiddling with its own film streaming service, after buying LoveFilm in January this year.

The YouTube brand will be wrapped around the UK launch of Google's own movie subscription service. If successful it will expand into Europe and the US, said the newspaper, which cited execs briefed on the proposal.

Google is understood to have set aside $100m for deals with Hollywood studios and other content providers to get such a service off the ground.

The Register has asked Google to comment on the story, but hadn't heard back at time of writing. ®




Wonder if this would work under the TiVo YouTube app.


Would be amazing if it did as would make TiVo even more desirable
That would be awesome!

You can set the TiVo to clip the lower priority programme instead of cancelling it - look in the Recording settings page.
I stand corrected, the third tuner still makes a massive difference though. And it does do some form of recording as it will allow you to pause and rewind live TV whilst the other two tuners are recording. I guess it must be a choice VM have made to not allow users to record three things together.

I have set the recordings to clip as you've said.

Are you one of the lucky Tivo owners too?
