Watching viral videos is now easier than ever thanks to Digg TV, a new mode for the news aggregation service that allows you to create a playlist of Digg videos and watch them back-to-back. Discovery is one of the main focuses of this new mode, which is still in beta, and the Explore feature makes it easy to find relevant channels and create their own collection of videos to watch.

Just a year after launching Digg Video, the company is widening its offering to include a full screen mode called Digg TV. The new feature allows you to line up a playlist of Digg videos and then cozy-up to the screen and watch them back-to-back. That means no more, “popcorn butter all over your keyboard,” the company says in a blog post. It’s quite like YouTube’s playlist feature, but Digg says it offers a more “curated” experience. Through its Explore feature, users can choose relevant channels or put together their own collection of videos. But ultimately, Digg is putting an emphasis on discovery here. The new Digg TV mode is still in beta. The company says over the coming months it may play with ways to expand the experience by adding videos from more sources (::cough:: Vice ::cough::), the ability to save video you find around the web to a Digg playlist, integration with Apple TV, Chromecast, and other streaming hardware, and an app that transforms your phone into a remote control.
