AOL to offer TV listings searches

AOL UK is testing a new TV guide that will include a search engine enabling users to locate video on the internet and programme their personal video recorders.

Visitors to will be able to start using the TV Guide, which is currently in its beta testing phase, and there will be a further roll-out on the AOL portal early this year.
The technology for the service is provided by TV Genius, a search engine for television and internet video. It will allow users to look at conventional listings, personalise them according to favourite channels, order reminders by email, SMS or AOL Instant Messenger and find related video available to watch on the internet.
Tom Weiss, chief executive of TV Genius, explained that, for example, a user could find out when Coldplay would next be on television.
The software will then let the user set their Windows Media Centre PVR to record the show automatically.
