TiVo co-founders Mike Ramsay and Jim Barton have designed “a product that sits at the nexus of exciting trends in video, mobile, and social”. The product, a small TV streaming box called Qplay, has already passed through the FCC and will provide “new ways to discover, play and share video content”.

TiVo co-founders Michael Ramsay and Jim Barton are about to release a new TV companion device that aims to combine video discovery and curation with smart TV functionality. Dave Zatz recently spotted an FCC filing for the QPlay-branded device a few days ago, which suggests that the release is imminent. Zatz also found a bunch of other clues, and I’ve learned in the last few days that some of the services QPlay is working with include Netflix and Hulu Plus.
