Another indication that the term “regular TV” is fast becoming an oxymoron: a partnership between YouTube and TiVo allowing TiVo subscribers to stream YouTube videos onto their television sets through their broadband-enabled TiVo boxes. It’s TiVo’s first deal for streaming online content, though the company has partnerships with 60 Web sites that provide content to TiVo, according to THR.com. YouTube, which is owned by Google, garnered 68 million unique users in May who streamed 3.8 billion videos, per Nielsen//NetRatings.
