TiVo has debuted a new streaming box that curates online videos according to your preferences. The Qplay TV adapter plugs into the HDMI port of the television. It comes with a companion iPad app to allow you to customize your interests. The app pulls content from YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Vine, Vimeo, and Instagram. The company plans to add more sources in the future. Viewers can also curate clips via a browser bookmark and share these to friends or to other Qplay users outside your network.
The app will then generate curated playlists or “Qs” according to your choices. There are regular Qs based on interests and Social Qs based on the content your friends share on Facebook and Twitter. You can watch the videos on your TV or on the iPad app. The device is up for pre-order at $49 with limited amounts currently being shipped.
