According to Eric Schmidt, it is indicated after delivering Friday’s MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh International TV Festival that the Google’s troubled Internet-television service–Google TV will soon be getting a reboot.
It was announced that the search giant is currently in discussions with all the key UK broadcasters ahead of a European launch of set-top boxes with its software early next year.
The service will use the same Android operating system that is adopted by smartphones. It will bring a web browser to the TV set and is specially designed to bring to the living room a trove of digital video from websites like YouTube.
However, Google has struggled to secure the support from several major broadcasters in the US and sales of Google TV boxes from electronics manufacturers like Sony and Logitech were far under the original expectations.
