[Satellite TODAY 05-21-10] Dish Network has launched Google TV, an open platform designed to integrate multichannel television with Web media content, the companies announced May 20.
    Dish Network subscribers using Google TV will now have the ability to simultaneously search for content across Dish Network, the Internet and their DVRs while overlaying related online content and linking it back to multichannel TV.
    Google TV integration is the outcome of a joint development process between the Dish Network and the search engine company, which began more than a year ago with collaborative trials and beta testing the technology with Dish Network and Google users.
    “Dish Network has enjoyed a strong partnership with Google for many years, built on a common foundation of innovative thinking and risk taking. Dish Network’s integration of Google TV marks the next evolution in television,” Dish Network Chairman, President and CEO Charlie Ergen said in a statement.
