TiVo Co-Founders Launch Qplay

Qplay, a service that lets lets users curate Internet video across the web and watch personalized streams of content called Qs, is now available.

The Qplay system uses an iPad app for discovery, playback and control. A Qplay TV Adapter, smaller than a deck of cards, integrates with the TV, and a cloud service manages and accesses content. During the early adopter phase, the app, TV adapter and cloud service are bundled together, and cost $49.

Qplay was started by TiVo co-founders Mike Ramsay and Jim Barton in 2012. The company was initially funded by Redpoint Ventures and Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers.
