Sony announced a new cross-platform media streaming service today during its second keynote presentation at CES 2014. The cloud based product would offer both live TV and on-demand video content and will begin public testing in the U.S. later this year, according to Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House. House also offered a few details on how the new service would work, describing a system of personalized menus tailored to each member of your household. Users can easily search through live and on-demand content on a single device, and will also receive recommendations based on their viewing history and what their friends are watching.
