Blinkx builds internet video offering with new remote tool

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Blinkx, the American company that develops video search engine technology, has launched what it reckons to be the ultimate tool for finding and watching TV episodes on the internet.

Blinkx Remote provides users with a way to find their favourite TV shows from any channel with online content, including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five and more.

According to the company, online video is no longer solely the domain of skateboarding kittens and the odd clip of David Brent dancing. Viewers can now watch full episodes of their favourite television shows when it suits them, without worrying about the link cutting out halfway through.

Suranga Chandratillake, founder and chief executive of blinkx, says that while the internet has become a tremendous source of news and entertainment for consumers, the content is spread across myriad sites belonging to national broadcasters and media giants.

“blinkx Remote uses our award-winning video search technology to help consumers find their favorite TV shows quickly, easily and in one place,” Chandratillake said.

Earlier this month blinkx announced a string of deals with companies including ITN, MSN UK and Rambler. It also secured a partnership deal with Digital Media Pioneer Elo to launch blinkx Brasil.
