If that TiVo Premiere of yours still doesn’t have enough content sitting in its memory to satisfy your appetite, you’re in luck, as Flingo’s LauchPad on-demand video platform has just been baked into the hardware. Now, channel surfers can stream content from more than 70 video apps from the likes of A&E, CollegeHumor, Crunchyroll, History, Showtime and others. LaunchPad for TiVo will also feature exclusive content, but details regarding just what it might be are scarce. In addition to the bevy of streaming options, users can even “fling” online videos from other devices to their television screen with the aid of a bookmarklet. Ashwin Navin, Flingo co-founder and CEO, tells Venture Beat that he’d like to implement the firm’s SyncApps second screen tech into TiVo’s box, but that won’t be coming in the near future.
