A new job posting (which now appears to have been removed) for a position with "Google TV" has generated some buzz today. Google (and Yahoo!'s) past talks with the folks at TiVo, and Google's foray into video search don't really make this that much of a stretch.

A section of the post that used to be live:

You will identify key market trends that are shaping user behavior when watching Television. These include but not limited to the intersection of Internet and Television technologies, Video-On-Demand, Personal Video Recorders and emergence of next generation set-top-boxes with IP connectivity. You will then identify areas where use of Google's search and advertising technology can enhance this user experience and define appropriate products to deliver these user benefits. You will work with UI designers and software engineers to conceptualize and develop these features.

Danny's got good coverage of this over at the Search Engine Watch blog.
