Have you already tried YouTube XL? It’s basically the same YouTube experience but you will get a whole new interface to play with. There aren’t any ads, suggested videos and there are no comments. At least not yet! You’re left alone to enjoy all your favorite videos. The new YouTube XL will work on any devices with a browser that have Flash installed. Hook them up to your TV and get started on those videos.

Is TiVo getting ready for the future? Are we going to see new products emerge in the near futures? Well TiVo is certainly looking forward to make some important changes to its current user interface. And in order to keep up with current times maybe a UI refresh is just what TiVo needed.

TiVo designs and develops Flash Lite applications. It’s all about balancing user experience, technical capability and time-to-market. Easy? No, but we make it look that way for our customers. If you’ve shipped large and complex Flash applications (preferably on an embedded system), we’d like to talk to you.

And, as you can clearly see, TiVo is looking for someone good with flash applications. If you’re the guy for the job and you have just found out about TiVo’s intentions drop us a line.

Adobe is trying to push its Flash to TVs and DVRs and the company is going to be more aggressive about it. Using its Open Screen Initiative Adobe will expand Flash support to various kinds of hardware. Deals with Comcast, Broadcom, Netflix and Intel have been or will be made in order for the implementation of Flash to go as smooth and as fast as possible.

We’re expecting more HDTVs and DVRs to be Flash-friendly in the second half of the years. Will Adobe succeed in this endeavor? And why shouldn’t it since we already are familiar with Flash in our lives as most of the computers we use have it installed. The picture above shows you just a glimpse of what a Flash-enabled TV looks like.
